After two early reverses to Florence, Group 1 Champion, and Cape May in the seasonts biggest up- set, Middle went on to conquer such large schools as Riverside, Mt. Holly, Lower Regional, Ocean City, and Egg Harbor. The Egg Harbor victory ended tl1e VVine Cityis unbeaten, untied streak and proved Middle's status as one of the strongest in South Jersey. Coach Tom Crist's charges rolled up 222 points while relinquishing 54. Six players were chosen on the all- county first team. They were: Joe De Rose, stalwart center, John Mar- shall, powerful tackle, Don Walden, glue-fingered end, Alvin Garrison, smart and speedy quarterback, Ray Ellis, line-smashing halfback, and John Roberson, triple-threat halfback.
