SQ. CA6leK3 l9' llLl'l'I'l0l'lt 0 MIKE CARR All New England October 11, 1952 Homecoming and a victory over Vermont-what could be more appropriate on a pleasant, sunfilled October afternoon, especially if you're a '53er? This was to be the day of reckoning for the Catamounts. Whereas the Knights were down after the upset loss to Arnold. U.V.M. was playing its best brand of ball in three years. Believing the adage that opportunity never knocks twice on the same door, guard John Sully fell on a Catamount fumble on their sixteen. Four line smashes later, Carr bucked over from the one. That was a start, although the half ended with the score unchanged. But it was evident that predictions would have to be reconsidered. Vermont got a break by recovering a fumble on the St. Michael's nine in the third period, but the staunch defensive line of the Purple refused to be budged and pushed the Cats back. It was the first of four brilliant defensive stands inside our own ten during the course of the afternoon. 102
