Road.’’ Early in the first period Maynard had i chance to score but missed when a pass from Ed Romanowski, intended for Gene Robinson, was in- tercepted. The start of the second period saw them on Con- cord’s ten, but once more they failed to come across, and Concord took over to march 88 yards to a score, highlighted by the running of Dick Finan. A for- ward pass gave Concord. the point after touchdown and a 7-0 lead. Maynard once more lost the ball, this time on a fumble and it lead to a 21 -yard jaunt by Basile for touchdown number two. At half time Concord led 14-0. Maynard was next to score as Jerry Robinson went wide, making a ' 23-yard jaunt that was by far the classiest run of the day. This T D came after Maynard had twice been stopped on the twenty. The conversion failed and the score stood 14-6. The scoring was climaxed in the fourth period when Tony Basile smashed over from the four. After he crossed the goal he fumbled but a teammate recovered and Concord was the victor 20-6. Basile, Pearson and Dick Finan were out- standing for Concord, while Ed Romanowski played good ball, returning to the quarterback slot after an injury to his back. Jerry Perpetual Motion” Robin- son, scoring Maynard’s only touchdown, was the high- light in the defeat. Maynard 13 — Wayland 0 October 16 Maynard got back in the win column with a re- sounding 13-0 victory over Wayland at the latter’s field. It was Maynard’s fourth victory against one defeat, all four victories coming by the shutout route. Maynard tallied their first touchdown in the opening period when Ed Romanowski hurled to Bill Howes, who flipped the pig skin to Scoop Viola for the score. In the second period Dickie Alberi twisted and turned his way through the Wayland team to score standing up. Joe Corcoran finished the day’s scoring by split- ting the uprights for the point after, making it May- nard 13 Wayland 0. From this point on it was a see-sa- v battle all the way, with the Maynard line tightening up in the clinch. Jerry Robinson romped 55 long yards in the last period for what would have been touchdown number three for the day, but it was nullified on a penalty. The game ended with the Orange and Black knocking on the door once more, with the Robinson twins. Gene and Jerry, along with Scoop Viola, Tom Cocco, Pat Greeno and Bill Howes turning in nice work for their Alma Mater. Maynard 38 — Ashland 0 October 23 The Maynard High gridders ran up their highest score of the season by shellacking a not-too-strong Ashland team 38-6. Jerry Robinson started the ball rolling when he galloped sixty-three yards to register, rolling when he galloped sixty-three yards to register. The conversion missed, but it looked as though May- nard wouldn’t have to convert all day. Scoop Viola scored on a four-yard smash but it was called back and Maynard was penalized. In the second period Maynard made it 12-0 as Scoop Viola scored on a short buck. Ashland was next to score as Dick Sheun ran through the team seventy yards for the tally. This made the score Maynard 12, Ashland 6. The Orange and Black tallied once more before the half ended as Jerry Robinson, the unstoppable lad, went over unscathed. Maynard pulled even further ahead in the second half as Gene Robinson went up in the air to make a spectacular catch. This time the point was good. Scoop Viola tallied his second of the day on a 2-yard buck and the point was again added. Dave Higgins ended the scoring for the day by go ing over for the touchdown from the three. Maynard’s line and backs really had a day of it and the standouts from the Bombers were everyone who played. Natick 20 — Maynard 13 October 30 A highly favored Natick eleven edged the greatest Maynard team I have watched this season. Old Lady Luck once more snubbed the Owls who really played their hearts out. Natick drew first blood after a scoreless first period when Dick Clasby drove over from the three. Montgomery converted. After a thrilling first half Natick had a 7-0 lead. Maynard came back on the field full of inspiration and shocked the Natick partisans by marching downfield to a touchdown. Scoop Terror” Viola climaxed this drive by scoring from the five. The all-important conversion missed and Natick led 7-6. The Natick cog started clicking and the team that has been together for three years scored again. ' This time it was on a Clasby to Montgomery aerial ; Mont- gomery missed the conversion. In the last period a march downfield by Maynard, mostly on the parts

of Alberi and Jerry Perpetual Motion” Robinson, who ran Natick’s ends ragged, ended when Scoop went over from the six. Joe Corcoran’s conversion was perfect and Maynard had twice rallied to tie the score. With the ball in Natick’s possession at midfield and 45 seconds remaining (the longest 45 seconds in history), the score stood 13-13. After a few vain plays a pass put the ball on the Maynard three. Jumping Joe Kane then hurdled the line and Mont- gomery converted. That was the story of Maynard’s first Midland League defeat . The Maynard team played such a wonderful game, it would take too much space to write of the individual standouts. Maynard 14 — Marlboro 6 November 11 A hard fighting Maynard eleven trailing at half time 6-2, came roaring back to its second Midland League victory and their sixth of the year l4-6. After a struggling, battling first period, Marlboro’s Don Jolie broke into the clear and raced 73 yards before being downed on the Maynard five-yard line by Scoop Viola. Marlboro gained only four yards in three plays, but on fourth down Billy Donahue drove over from the one. Later on in the period. Gene Robinson broke through the Marlboro line and blocked a kick. The ball was recovered by Marlboro in the end zone and the score stood Marlboro 6, Maynard 2. Coach Bondelevitch must have given the team a real pep talk during the half for when the Bombers came back on the field they instantly started rolling. Sparked by a twenty-yard run by Gene Robinson, Maynard took the lead as Jerry Robinson went over from the two-yard line. In the final period. Scoop Viola intercepted a Marlboro pass and raced 25 yards to score, between beautiful blocking. Gene Robinson, Scoop Viola, and Jerry Robinson were outstanding for the Orange and Black from Maynard, while Billy Donahue was Marlboro’s best of the afternoon. Robert Larson, ’51 High School Bowling A few boys from the high school started a Bowling League that consisted of six boys from each class. ( 21 The boys pay $.15 dues per week and this gives them something to do. The boys in the league are as follows; Seniors J. Robinson G. Robinson Joe MacDonald Jack Howes Dwinell Laskowski Billy Penniman Duckworth Juniors Perillo Slabyz Holly Dintino Romanowski Rogers Cutaia Viola Sophomores Zelukiewicz Jarmulowicz Bill Howes Piecewicz Molloy Rabs Tomyl Freshmen Cantino Mancini Tourville Stewart Jack MacDonald Mullin Wat jus Alving The first night the Seniors edged the Sophomore class by four pins in each of the two strings. The Juniors also won over the Freshmen but it was far from close. The next week the Seniors and Juniors maintained their perfect records by stumping the Freshmen and Sophomores. Th next week, which brings it up to date for the sports deadline, the Sen- iors defeated the Juniors in the first string, but they were deadlocked in the second. The sophomores picked up their first points of the year by slamming the Freshmen. The Seniors lead the league with the Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen following in that order. The leading eight bowlers in the league and their averages are listed below: Chris Cutaia 98.6 Tookie Laskowski 92.5 Jerry Robinson 85.4 Kevin Dwinell 84.5 Gene Robinson 84.3 Danny Dintino 84.3 Walter Zelukiewicz 82.
