Cgdootbalf A green, sweaty, cheerful, but condi- tioned crowd began contact drills during the first week of practice. This crowd, ini- tiating a new formation, the Princeton single wing, started with a store-house of handicaps, but every gap was filled with re-doubled spirit. Shortly, this crowd came to be like on person, it responded, started, and hit like one person, and this made it a team. St. Georgeis ventured north for the first game. Revenge for the previous year's de- feat gave the Milton eleven extra KA- POW. The Ticknor to Ward combination clicked as Arty received the pass from Mal and ran ten yards carrying an opponent on his shoulders for a touchdown. The final score: Milton 21, St. George's 0. St. Sebastian's, who hadnit played the Academy since the 1920's, came here to Milton. It wasn't easy, but after Ash Hallett cut up several of their plays, blocked a punt, and fell on it in the end-zone, the day was under control. Dave Sheehan and jim Hambuchen executed a beautiful screen play, and with some key blocking, jim raced for a touchdown. Milton racked 34 to St. Sebastian's 6. The next week, Governor Dummer ar- rived. On the opening play, Pete Durkee ran a Buck 34 single wing rightf' for 65 yards, tripped, fumbled, but Kim Parker recovered for a touchdown. Milton's tim- ing was bad, but the Team fought hard. In the last play of the game, Dave Sheehan returned a punt through a very amazed op- position for a touchdown. The final score: Milton 19, Governor Dummer 27. Milton lost a heart-breaker to St. Mark's at Southboro. Milton bashed up and down, Art Ward tackled St. Mark's Creel with a whomp that shook the field. Darley Randall smashed through with a wedge for Miltonis only tally. The final score: Milton 6, St. Mark's 7. This was all Milton was going to take from anyone, and the following week an- other team to be revenged got its. Groton came to Milton on November 1, Father's and Sonis day. That day's best was when Esaui' Baker, a tackle, recovered a Milton fumble and ran 35 yards with a key block by Stan Emery. The day's proceeds: Mil- ton 21, Groton 7. By far the season's best game for both sides was against a much favored Noble and Greenough team. The first half con- sisted of beautiful line play, Swett, Baker, Ward, Williams and Olson submarined the Nobles offense to a jarring halt. Mal Ticknor intercepted a Noble's pass and dashed for a touchdown in the third quar- ter. Nobleis Bartlett blocked a punt in our end-zone, and a safety resulted. Milton marched to a cry of KAPOW, as Bill Farnham ran an intercepted pass back 60 yards. Fritz Schwarz did some excellent quarterbacking, and Milton was headed up- field, 10 yards to goal, when time ran out, the score Milton 6, Nobles 2. The season's last game was played against a very heavy Middlesex team. Milton's offense hinged on passes, Mal Ticknor to Win Sargent, and an interception by Art Ward. Dave Greenway broke away on a 41 single wing rightf' with key blocks by Sargent and Olson. The final score: Milton 25, Middlesex 7. There are memories we, the Squad, will always carry. But the best to us are the men who tore us apart, put us back to- gether, and shaped us into a team. Coaches don't come any better, nor more efficient, yet friendly, than Stoky and Cap. Our new C string coach, Leon Harvey tackled a big job well, Louie 'is probably still tap- ing, and Doc Quimby never lacked business on our Squad. These men did more for us than our thanks can repay, but our thanks for some of the best times we've known is all we can give them. Good luck to their future Teams, from a now decrepit but still spirited 1952 Team.
