O'Hedy threw a pass that enabled Mike Pepper to score on the initial play of the last period. O'Hedy again converted the extra point. Milford again scored, but an off-side penalty brought the ball back to the eleven-yard line. There, a pass from Larry McNally to Johnny Gannon put the ball in a position that enabled Walt Reynolds to plunge over for Milford's last score. Williamstown was the site of the next game, when the Maroon and White went to play the Williams College Freshmen on the 23rd. Falling before an over- powering assault, the Milford gridders fell to the tune of 37-6. Milford got off to a fast start by making a first period march to tally the initial six-points. How- ever, the tide changed, and a battered Milford team went down to its last defeat of the season. On October 29th, the Milfordians traveled to Suffield Academy to chalk up a 12-O win. ,In the first frame, the Milford squad tallied once, establishing a lead that was never threatened during the game. Shortly after the opening kick-off, the Maroon and White carried the ball to Suffield's two-yard line only to lose it on downs. However, Milford soon recovered possession of the pigskin and paved the way to the first score via a line plunge by Walt Reynolds. The highlight of the game came in the third chucker when joe Zanolli defiected an intended Suffield pass. The ball was caught by Milford's right guard, Bob Campbell, who ran 55 yards for the final score. Playing its first, and only, home game of the season on November 6th, the Milford Varsity encountered the powerful Cheshire Academy aggregation. The never-yielding defense, as shown by Milford that day, enabled the home team to hold the heavier Cheshire club to a scoreless tie. Up against the strongest opposition since the Choate game, the Maroon and White gave an excellent show- ing before an excited crowd. Although the Cheshire team threatened several times, jake Kupec's educated toe and the line's splendid resistance saved the day. The final game of the season also ended in a scoreless tie when the Wilbraham Academy squad held the Maroons on November 13th. Playing on a mud-soaked field, the Milford offense was unable to secure a substantial foothold, and, there- fore, was held scoreless. The majority of play took place in Wilbraham territory. With this game, Milford wound up a successful season, losing two games, tying two, and winning two. The team, coached by Mr. Jerry Pepper and led by Captain Bruce Newell, was made up of the following: Bill Barnum, Joe Boyle fcaptain-electj, Bob Camp- bell, johnnie Gannon, Jake Kupec, Arnold Lowe, Larry McNally, Steve O'Hedy, Mike Pepper, Walt Reynolds, Bob Schotta, King Whitaker, joe Zanolli, joe Cohen, Jerry Carpinella, Steve Cuomo, Don Fischbeck, Gene F rechette, Ted Gumpert, Irwin Halbreich, Walt Kelly, Bob O'Neill, Bud Rosenfeld, Walt Sheahan, and Warren Terrell.

SIX-MAN F00'I'BALL Six-man football, which in the last few years has been very popular in the Mid-West at the smaller schools, has gained somewhat of a foothold in the East. Along with several other schools of Connecticut, Milford has included it among its inter-scholastic sports. As the name implies, six-man football is a variation of regular football, having only six men on the team and being played on a field four-fifths the size of a regular gridiron. The scoring is the same for the touch- down and conversion in both games, but four points are given for a field goal in the new game. Milford got off to a late start in the sport and, consequently, had only two games. They were both with the Fairfield Country Day School, and in the second game Milford showed vast improvement and enthusiasm in the sport. In the first game Fairfield came out victorious after a hard encounter against a fighting Milford team. Gene Frechette scored the only Milford touchdown on a lateral from Bob O'Neill after a kickoff from Fairfield, which had just scored a touch- down. The score remained six-up until the third quarter when the visitors tallied twice for a total of eighteen points. Thus Milford lost its first six-man football game, eighteen to six, but did not think of letting it remain on the records without attempting to redeem itself. A return match was arranged with Fairfield, and, after some extensive practice, the defeat was avenged to the tune of nineteen to nothing. ln this game both the defensive and offensive play showed tremendous improvement. The hrst score was the result of a nice pass from Ted Gumpert to Jack Farris, which enabled jack to race triumphantly over the last stripe. After some excellent defensive play, Steve Cuomo twice carried the ball around end after the team had moved within scoring distance. He also scored one of the conversions by way of a pass from Gumpert. So ended a short, but satisfactory, season of six- man football.
