The only loss was when Lady Luck turned her head and the ‘Orange and Black dropped a one point decision to our traditional rival Utica Free Academy. AMSTERDAM Showing surprising scoring punch, the team over- powered Amsterdam 26-0. After lightning thrusts by McMahon and DeMatteo, Rudy Filippini bucked over for three touchdowns. The other touchdown came when Ray Vaccaro blocked a kick and Capt. Carl Calnero recovered it. Jim Perry place kicked the other two points. Joe Mecca was tower of defense on the Rome lines, This opening game sent the Orange and Black'’ gridders on their high flying way. WATERTOWN Highlighted by highstepping Dave McMahon, the Academy turned in their first triumph over the Water- town Cyclones since 1942. McMahon made two long runs; one a 78 yard scoring jaunt, and the other a 62 yard gain after which Rudy Filippini bucked across for the touchdown. Calnero’s and Spadafora's crisp blocking was one of the high spots of the game. NOTT TERRACE Rolling up a tremendous advantage on the ground and scoring in every period, the Academy team gained a 32-12 triumph over Nott Terrace at the Dust Bowl. Rome was never headed after the first quarter. The most spectacular of the Rome touchdowns was a 95 yard kick-off return by Quarterback Nat Spadafora. The other touchdowns were scored by McMahon, DeMatteo, and Filippini. AUBURN Playing before 6,000 people at Auburn, the un- defeated Orange and Black turned back Auburn 3-0 after being set on their heels by a first quarter attack. Rome's first touchdown came on double re- verse as Joe DeMatteo swung wide to score from the 12 yard line standing up. The second touchdown came a few seconds before the first half when Spadafora threw a pass to Calnero in the end zone. Jim Perr y kicked the extra point. The RFA defenders staved off Auburn threats in the last half and the game ended 13-0. PROCTOR The Rome powerhouse journeyed to Utica to play Proctor at Murnane Field. The boys had already won 4 straight and were gunning for their fifth victory. In the first few minutes of the game the underdog Proctor team struck for two fast touchdowns before the Rome men could alert themselves. However, the Proctor team missed both conversion opportunities and the score was 12-0 at the half. It was evident that the team was inspired by the pep talk at the half. Rome came bac k on the field and attacked with their fury. Joe DeMatteo skirted end for 13 yards for a touch- down but the attempted conversion kick was no good and the score now read 12-6. An uninterrupted 72 yard run by Rome led to the second touchdown with Rudy Filippini bucking over from the ane yard line. Jim Perry faked a kick as Filippini once again bucked over for the final and decisive point. The victory was Rome's, 13-12. U.F.A. Old Lady Luck wasn't with us on this cool November afternoon. This was the game of games for both teams, for both teams had been undefeated prior to this contest. U.F.A. scored first on a one yard buck. They also added the extra point and the score was 7-0. Then Rome took the ball down the field as Rudy Filippini hit the line for the first Rome touchdown, but Utica still lead 7-6 as we missed the extra point. Shortly after the second quarter started, Rome marched some 75 yards to their second touchdown with our superhuman Rudy Filippini again scoring. Once again they missed the extra point and at the half the score was 12-7 for Rome. With no scoring in the third quarter, Utica got hot in the fourth quarter, racking up their second touchdown matched by an- other conversion. On the first play after the kick-off, the fullback passed to Pat Curly, end, who outraced the Utica secondary. On this touchdown Filippini passed to Captain Calnero for the point making the the score 19-14 in favor of Rome. However, Utica was still in the game, as they repeated the same play on their first scrimmage, and raced for their touchdown. U.F.A. missed their conversion but still held a one point lead, 20-19. The R.F.A. Gridders tried in vain to better this advantage but in spite of all efforts, they lost their first game to Utica in || years and the first game of the season. OSWEGO Rome met the Oswego High School squad at Oswego, on a muddy field. These conditions slowed the ground attack of Rome tremendously. The first quarter ended in a 0-0 deadlock. In the second quar- ter the playing was somewhat like the first quarter and the score remained the same at half time. The third quarter was like the first two quarters, with each team running the ball and then punting out of danger. This quarter also ended in a 0-0 deadlock. However, in the fourth quarter, the tide changed and Rome scored twice, both line bucks of Fullback Ru dy Filippini. A pass from Filippini to Calnero was good for the extra conversion. Rome also registered a safety in this quar- ter and the game finally ended with a 15-0 victory for Rome. This contest ended one of the best football records in the school's history with six wins in seven games. The 1947 squad was proud to have Captain Carl Calnero selected on first team of the All Scholastic All Stars and Half-back Dave McMahon selected as Captain for the second team. BASKETBALL Row |: C.

However, the next Friday the team found itself and beat St. Francis 65-42. Carl Calnero was the big gun with 28 points, 15 of which came in the last quarter. Our third game brought us to U.F.A., where the pent ups took us across 64-50. We finished out the month of December by losing to Oswego there in the last minute 53-49, after leading throughout the game. As the new year came in it brought good fortune. On January 2nd, we beat S.A.A. 68-47 for the first leg of the city championship. Next weekend, however, the Jods were unkind for we lost to New Hartford 51-49 In the last 30 seconds, despite Calnero's 25 points and Bob Goodman's job off the backboards. As January progressed, our luck improved and we defeated Whitesboro at the Y.M.C.A. court 51-44. Frank Paz- dur, shooting with deadly accuracy, was the prime factor in our victory, but again it was Bob Goodman and Carl Calnero on rebounds which assured our triumph. Proctor came next and when the final buzzer rang we led 44-39. As the month progressed we de- feated Oswego here 39-32. Venturing to Watertown the next night, we defeated them 44-35. The next op- [54] Charles Leffert Guards KENNY WILLIAMS, Capt. HAROLD GOODMAN NAT SPADAFORA TONY VAGNONI RINALDO VERO ponent was the Friars from St. Francis. They were defeated 42-36, partly through the magnificent defen- sive work of Captain Kenny Williams, the offensive floor work of Frank Pazdur, and Carl Calnero's deadly accuracy. We came up against U.F.A. next. With the help of the first quarter lead, they defeated us 65-50. Water- town became our victim again, this time 49-46. We journeyed to New Hartford and with second place in the Central-Oneida League at stake, we lost 59-46. In our next game we clinched the city championship by defeating S.A.A. 50-34. At Whitesboro, a large court and the inability to penetrate the defense found us at the short end of a 48-39 score. In our last game of the season, the academy was outclassed 57-27 by a crew of Binghamton Central Storks. This gave the squad a record of 9 won and 8 lost. Individual top scores were: Carl Calnero, 299 points; Frank Pazdur, 162 points; Bob Goodman and Kenny Williams were third with 74 points. Carl Calnero's average of better than |7 points a game, set a city record. His 299 points missed the R.F.A. scoring record by one point. 1 tine Row |: M. Berman, J. Campbell, T. Lott, P.

Hockey squad was able to boast its most successful season. One game lost to a vastly superior Nichols Academy team was the only defeat suffered by the squad. The team was hit hard by losing two members of the first line, Tom Broderick and Charles Beeching. Under these circumstances, however, we were able to win |3 out of 14 games, and also had the pleasure of winning the Clarkson College High School Tournament. Much credit goes to our great defense ably assisted by our goalie Richard McMahon, who was accredited with six-shutouts, one against a very good Colgate fresh- man team. Our substitute goalie, Marvin Berman, was also credited with a shutout against Onondaga Valley High School. Many laurels were won by the team when we ventured to Potsdam to play in the state tournament. Winning the tournament was not the only honor won by the team, as four of our players were named as members of the all-star team which was elected by the players and coach of the Clarkson College Hockey team. These members were as follows: Richard McMahon, who in the tournament was accredited with two assists out of a possible three games, a feat not often accomplished by a goalie. __ Ely Rowland, who through his great offensive play- ing was high scorer, and at all times of the tournament was the spearhead of the Academy's offensive. _ Jim Golly, in his best showing of the year, through his many assists and his smooth brand of hockey. Pat Curley, who played a great defensive game, and an equally great offensive game. Ely Rowland was named as the Tournament stand- out, a position he earned and deserves. The trophy awarded to the R. F.A. Hockey team for winning this tournament was given by our captain, Richard McMahon, to our coach, Mr. Harold Pendle- ton, for without his assistance we would never have turned in the most successful season of the academy's history. Dave McMahon, though unable to play against high school competition, was a standout and spearhead in our games against prep school and college competition.

Under the capable direction of Mrs. Curtis Bates, the play was given before a capacity audience. This fast moving comedy told the often-told but still appealing story of the problems of adolescence. The heroine, Midge Hartman, by getting herself and her family into a series of hilarious incidents, captivated the audience. She, her sister, and a charming house guest vied for the attentions of three boys, but no girl was satisfied with the one whom she got. Complication followed complication and by the time things were set right just before the final curtain, all the teen-agers had made progress in the process of growing up. The play was received with enthusiasm by the audience and will be long remembered by both the audience and the cast. COMMITTEES STAGE: J. Kirkland, S. George, C. Wolff, N. Wolff, F. Rung, E.
