Every member of this rugged band of athletes has won a letter in a major sport.

Heading this organization is George Dacy, president, jim Spry, Vice-presidentg and Kenny Dorn sports the title ot secretary and treasurer. Despite the loss of many of his best players, the shortage of assistants causing him to do the work of three coaches, and the ever-increasing demands of the government to teach more phy- sical education, Coach 1.

For these and other achievements, in the face of overwhelming odds, we dedicate this section of sports to Coach 1. C. Gramley.

FOOTBALL TEAM i -A -an L ,. lst row Cahr, Liles, Atkinson, Patton, Lee, Dacy, Pennekamp, Vickers, Tatum, Brasington, Byrd. 2nd row Pierce, McLaughlin, Smethurst, Maxwell, Morrow, Scott, Rath, Lee. 3rd row Mann, Spry, Williams, Magill, Cramley, Carter, Keele. A sparkling offense and a rugged defense were the two main factors which permitted the Ponce team to walk away with victories over such notables as Andrew jackson, Fort Lauderdale, and Lake Worth, and fight Miami Beach, The Little Three Champions, to a 7-7 tie. Starting off their season with a decisive victory over Lake Worth, the Cavaliers let down when a sudden drain by the armed forces on the team left them without the services of Bill Byrd, Ty Vickers, and Raymond Lyles, all key men. Thus weakened, the Cavaliers, the following week, eked out a l3-6 victory over Dania. Still suffering from the losses, the Cavaliers fought Miami Beach to a 7-7 tie. A spirited Ponce team, playing under the lights of the Orange Bowl, lost a heart-breaker to Andrew jackson, l3-6, as defeat came with a blocked punt. The two highlights of the season came when Ponce handed defeats to Ft. Lauderdale, 20-O, and Andrew jackson, I2-O, but failed to defeat Miami Beach next week. This defeat lost them their chance to take the Little Three Championship. Outstanding all year were Herman Atkinson, George Dacy, Bobby Lee. Billy Lee, lohn Pennekamp, and jack Brasington. This is the second year the team has been under Coach Cramley and it turned in the best record it has obtained in four yearsg winning four, losing four, and tying one.
