Pigskin Glimpses o ALTHOUGH the Cavaliers didn't meet pre-season expectations, they turned the tables in their finale by upsetting Jackson, the ,Big Ten Champions, 6 to 0. The lone tally was scored by .lack Wilkins on an 88 yard run in the fourth period. Credit for stopping the Generals' offense goes to a secret defense produced by Coach Johnny Noppenburg. Ponce opened the season by completely out-passing the Lake Worth Trojans to the tune of 19 to 0. But in their second game their passing attack baekfired by setting up both of Pahokee's T.D.,s as the Cavaliers bowed, 14 to 13. The next week a strong Miami Beach eleven crossed the bay into the Orange Bowl to smear thc Ponce cripples by a score of 25 to 13. This defeat was followed by a heartbreaking setback at the hands of a light but power- ful Dania team, 14 to 0. ln their first out of town game, a critical case of fumblitis hampered the Ponce Team as they fell before West Palm Beach, 18 to 0. The following week Coach Nop- penberg sent only underelassmen to Fort Pierce to face a 20 to 0 drubbing. 'DAVE MCDONALD, first string All-Confer- ence, second string Little All-State, and third string All-City back, will probably leave his spot to .lack Stahl, while Vic Daey, first string All-Conference center, third string Little All-State, and honorable mention on the All-City Team, will turn his position over to Tom Gibson, who alternated with him this year. Chester Hunter, who held the same honors as Dacy, only at tackle, will probably leave his spot to Bud Nelson, while his co-worker, Hugh Ansley, will leave his to John Gazlay. Kirk Westcott and ,Bill Stephens will leave their positions to George Lane and Bill Wlard. .Both Stephens and Wlard earned hon- orable mention on all teams. Malcolm John- son, B string high scorer, will inherit the spot vacated bY .lack Yvilkins, third string Little All-State back. Don Thomasi and ,lack Keena's guard spots are relinquished to Tommy Fryer and Ed McGee, respectively, while Tommy Fitz- gerald will be calling them from Billy Pow- ers' position. Other seniors are Ray Pierce, Bobby Marx, Wvalter Shikany, and Ed lVlcEnany, also man- agers Bob Bartnett and Tommy Kcstler. But the rest must have done some good Lake Worth OEF' WEEE because along with a change from the short pahokee .lll 13 punt to the T formation, the seniors led Miami Beach .... 25 .... .... 1 3 the teams to a 44 to 0 victory over Lauder- Dfmif' ------------ 14 ---- 0 dale.
