MIDDLESBX SCHOOL CoNcoRD MASSACHUSETTS added our other score mth a threeyard plunge which climaxed a 45 yard drive Maury Hammond Ronnie Farnsvs orth and Dick Babson were the dc fcnsive stars On the following week the team performed like a well oiled machine as they rolled easily over a ragged Boston Trade eleven The defense led by rugged Dave Wells was great as the visitors moved the ball into our territory only once and could pick up only 59 yards on the ground No time was wasted as Bob Green returned the opening kickoff 58 yards to the 21 yard line Five plays later jim Ostheimer went over from the four for the first of his three rallies In the fading mmutes of the quarter a forty yard drive was climaxed by Opes second score In the second quarter Ronnie Farnsworth thwarted any Boston Trade hopes with a fine pass interception whrch set up our third score Again rt was jim Ostheimer who trotted over from the three and again it was Art Latta who converted his third straight Eager to avenge last year s close defeat the big red headed into the Groton game with high spirits but Groton sparked by Ray Walker s four touchdowns proved too much for us in a wild wide open scormg game Despite excellent defensive play by Monty Childs the team was helpless agarnst the onslaught of Groton s fast running and accurate passlng backfield as Groton rolled up 252 yards rushmg and 134 yards passing jrm Ostheimer was the spark of our team picking up a total of 202 yards After Walker had raced 65 yards from the scrimmage on the first play Osthermer returned the kick off 33 yards and aided by a fifteen yard penalty scored eight plays later from the nine yard line It was not until the second quarter that blood was again drawn as Walker passed to XVh1te for a touch Page Ynlx tele . . f fi -' 7 ' ' i - Y ' ' v ' f .- . , , . 7 A . - . . 9 ' YY ' 7 1 - 1 a . . . y . - . - 1 . , .
