Defensive Pioneers move in. , .. 'P With five minutes to play the fired-up Bogart- men turned near defeat into a 40-27 victory before 7,000 screaming fans at North Miamfs field. With five minutes left in the game, Wally Flury ran 16 yards to put the Pioneers ahead for the first time in the game. Ninety seconds later Flury scampered 35 yards to wrap up the victory. There was no stopping the Pioneers after that. For insurance Tommy Thomas, the big linebacker for North Miami, barreled 40 yards on an inter- ception for the final touchdown. Fieldus connected on five of eight passes for 113 yards and scored the Pioneeris first touch down on a one-yard sneak. Laxon gained 56 yards rushing while Saponaro picked up 20, including a five yard touchdown run with one second showing in the half. PIONEERS STRAIGHTEN CURLEY Saponaro scores. 'I v ,..Q..M0Si

Pioneers fight for yardage against Miami Iackson's Generals. There just wasn't any stopping Dade County's top scorer, Wally Flury, as he made touchdown after touchdown against Miami Iackson to create a complete rout over the Generals, taking them with a cool 19-0. End Letson Legs', Plant did an outstanding job during the game on everthing from catching long passes to tackling opposing team members. Also striking observers with his splendid open field form during the heated grid bout in the Orange Bowl was North Miamfs defensive half- back, Phil Caprio. Phil came amazingly close to hitting paydirt twice on punt returns. Iaxonvilleis Robert E. Lee High School swung their grid power over the Bogartmenis heads in the Gator Bowl, as their second in the state stand- ing topped all Pioneer efforts of attack. PIONEERS .IINX ,IA XSUN Pioneer Quarterback Chuck Fieldus breaks away for twenty yards against the Jax Lee Generals. 172 Arriving at the jacksonville field after several hours in the trains going up, tired and haggard they played as hard and as fast as they could, with Coach Bogart throwing all he could into it. But it wasnit enough. The Lee Generals, who were second only to Miami High's Stingarees in state competition, rolled over the Pioneers, through their defense, stopping their offense. Boarding the train with a 25-7 defeat, North Miamiis exhausted warriors returned. Their loss, by most, is considered to have been a direct result of the loss of End Bill Broeman with apendicitis, and VValter Kates, who had dislocated his shoulder.
