NAZARETH TOPPLED BY “KONCRETE KIDS ” Bob Freeman faces the Pen Argyl defense. Little did the Big Blue know what was in store for them as they went to Northampton to play the Koncrete Kids. After Jeff Cole scored the first touchdown, Frank Herzog, Wogenrich, Kraemus, Erdosy, and Lisetski followed the poor example. The Big Blue only beat the Koncrete Kids in yards penalized. The final score was 54-0. The following week the Eagles went to East Stroudsburg with new fire and determination. The game was nip and tuck most of the way. Freeman made the first touchdown with a 55-yard run down the far sidelines. Warren Snyder scored next for the Eagles from the 10-yard line. Alan McNear scored the third touchdown with 31 seconds remaining in the third period. Bob Freeman ran and scored on the conversion for the extra point. With plenty of student backing, the fiery Big Blue headed for Cottingham Stadium on Thanksgiving Day to match mind and muscle against the Wilson Warriors. Robert Free¬ man, recipient of the Easton Jaycees outstanding player award, scored the only touchdown. Alan McNear and Stan¬ ley Metz both played key roles in keeping the Warriors scoreless in the last game of the season. The Eagles wound up in third place in the Lehigh-Northamp- ton League. Stanley Metz breaks away for the first down. The cheering section shows its approval of a pass interception. 15 -
