F T-fb Twill! l! Heybird, Fritters, Zoomer, Smitty, and Ralphy. A street gang, you say? A law firm, you say? A new chorus line, you say? lVlaybe, buta better guesswould be five seniors for the 1976 Tiger var- sity gridders. The 85 members of the team roared to a controvertial second place finish in the West Penn Confer- ence, behind the Gators of Gateway. A point system thatwas used for determin- ing division champions when two teams had identical records was discarded, fboth had records of 7-2-ll and the ti- tle was given to Gateway even though NA tallied more points The argument was that even though NA had the point advantage, Gateway deserved the title because they had beaten the Tigers during the season Head Coach Frank Walton and his seasoned coaching staff saw seven of their seniors honored by being placed on special teams Four players were named to the A ll West Penn Conference team, Lee Baierl and David Kroll were named to the first squad while Ed Huckestein and Gary Smith played for the second Gary lVlcCauley advanced to the All WPIAL team, and Mike Zunic, along with Ralph Eyerman were especially hon ored by being named to the All State football squad ew' A wt, 3' tefA A Coac Walton frets over a Tiger fumble 1-sits if 34351449 fr 'mat tftftsiz QW A W' to Wgfgfvyb My DIQ4 4927? iw was W if M4 gk MQW' X1 35? 7t4 M Hants ww by , ,,,t L tt,t it f t is 1 t f llsi 1 7 tttl ,wr .

t!MK9?EfTlLlW7CGD A veritable Wrestling dynasty has been set up through the tireless energy of Head Coach De- Augustino along with help from Coach Davis. The team always seems to specialize in brother acts, and this year is no exception. John and Curt Sipple, Jim and John Steinmetz and Coach DeAugustino's sons, Scott and lVlarl4, give the squad that close-knit feeling that is so vital to team unity. Knowing the way that NA totally dominates their section and the constant flow of ta- lent, one can easily assume that this dynasty will never die. 55 Ula GS - ,S ,Q Q N'-ma. .,,.
