Q .. .. ,w-.,f, . hm, W i. r,hS H1 5 , 35s , s V: With grim determination on his face and the ball nestled safely under his arm, halfback Richie Barnes scampers around left end in an effort to pick up the necessary first down yardage for the Pirates. The ac- tion took place during the Fenwick game which the Pirates lost by a score of 20 to 6. Quarterback Ray Gaast sinks back to pass, but is swarmed upon by a host of Lake Geneva Cadets loe- fore he can find an open receiver, to whom he can pitch the pigskin. The play took place in the final stage of the game when the Pirates were trailing by 7 points. Unable to wrestle free, Phil Rodgers is caught in a trap of oncharging linemen as he endeavors to gain a few yards in the Mendel game. Page 50 Ray Gaast boldy blocks one of Northwestern's fight- ing Cadets and tumbles him to the turf in the shadow of his own goal posts. The Pirates managed to snap their spell of sixes on this beautiful autum-colored campus as they battled the Cadets to a 13 to 13 dead- lock. ?,.,,..-nal

Dom Faraci and lay Emerich race over to lend a helping hand to their be- sieged buddy, but they arrive too late. While the scoreboard read 13-13, the Pirates zipped into Northwestern's territory. ln their last and final effort to break the stalemate, a number of ill-fated penalties were called against them, and the score stayed stationary for the remainder of the game.

Dom Faraci demonstrates the art of sure tackling as he sends Richie Barnes sprawling with a bone-crush- ing tackle during Pirates practice session at Lake Shore Park. It was hustle and hardwork such as this, that contributed immensely to the success ol the Pi- rates on the gridiron. Time out! to restore their lost energy lor the big Sf cond halt is taken by team mates Dom Faraci, Dick Bozek and Bob Bernatski.
