half, but the Milford lead was never in danger. The hnal score stood: Milford-20, E.M.A.-6. Because of the fine brand of football displayed by most of the members on the squad, no one player can be pointed out as the star of the team. However, a few of the boys were particularly outstanding in the team's success. George O'Hara, captain of the squad, showed fine line-play at guard, as did his counterpart, Ronnie Grunwald, and Vince Corda greatly bolstered the Milford forward wall at the left tackle position. Eddie Vath, center, who played al- most 60 minutes of every game, and Al Tingley, the left end, were instrumental in all the victories of the year. Bill.Roper, who brilliantly quarter-backed the team out of many difficult situations, also aided in no small way with his passing. Fleet Pete Ehler's many long end runs, along with Roy Mandrow's bucks over center, left the opposition in a daze. But by far the leading ground gainer of the season was the powerfully built left-halfback, Joe Viscount, who, time and again forced his way over the goal for touchdowns. Many others, too numerous to mention, played great ball, and without many of these boys the team could not have gained as much success as was enjoyed. The season came to an official end with the annual football banquet on December 15, 1948. It was there that the members of the various squads received letters for their services on the gridiron. All in all, it was a good season, considering that many more games were won than lost. 1. V. FOOTBALL Left to Right: lst row-Nemtow, L. Cohen, Klevansky, M. Ross, R.

LEAGUE FOOTBALL This year the Milford League Team did not live up to what was expected of it, but nevertheless the season held its thrills. The season's schedule consisted of four games. Two of these were with Hamden Hall and two with Fairfield Country Day. Our team opened against Hamden Hall, whose superior playing outweighed the hard fighting Mil- ford team by a score of 50-0. The second game showed improvement of the team, but this was not enough to prevent us from losing by the score of 19-6. The third game followed the lpattern of the other games and we lost, this time by a 45-O score. The best game played by the team was its last one which was against Fairfield Country Day. This game was lost by the closer score of 27-13. Though the record is not impressive, the team deserves credit for its hard fighting and spirit.
