The Quakers amazed everyone the next week when they walloped East Palestine 35-0. Bob Boone ran wild, as he gained 201 yards rushing for an av- erage of 11 per try. Moe Hollinger con- tributed to victory by blocking two punts. The Quakers looked like dismal fail- ures in their next outing as they were overwhelmed by Leetonia's powerhouse. 27-O. Big Louis J uliano led the Salem de- fense which gave up 191 yards and 14 first downs to the Bears. An unknown came to the fore as Sa- lem trampled Wellsville, 26-13. He was freshman, Ed Bozich, who paced the Qua- kers with two touchdowns. The Quakers got on the credit side of the ledger next as they toppled Struth- ers, 26-6. Ed Bozich scored twice, How- ard Herrington and Ted Boone each, once. The Quakers looked powerful despite a heavy rain which soaked the gridiron. The Barrettmen won number four against Girard after a battle of lines and punts. Big Lowell Myers blocked a kick with four minutes to go and John Szymczyk fell on it in the end zone for the only score of the game. The Quakers lost their third decision to the powerful Potters, 32-0. The battle was much closer than the score would in- dicate. Salem battled valiantly all the way, showed excellent defensive play, and several times got inside the Potter 25 yard line. Liverpool used their great weight to advantage, plus a group of fine running backs to beat the stubborn Qua- kers into submission. Louis J uliano play- ed his best game of the year against the ponderous Ceramists. In the seasonis finale the Quakers scored in every quarter, as they easily de- feated a weak Lisbon outfit. Lisbon fin- ally scored on the last play of the game. and the game ended 25-7. Statistically through the year, Salem was also on top. In total first downs, the Quakers outdid their opponents 84 to 305 in rushing, 1698 to 1315, and in scoring, 131 to 111. Only in passing did Salem fall behind, 98 to 386.

FOOTBALL Starting his third year as grid mentor at Sa- lem High, Coach Ben Barrett was faced with the dismal task of creating another topnotch football team with only four lettermen K Boone, Myers, Ju- liano and Gottschlingl. Combining his lettermen with eager but green material, Barrett was able to field a squad which could match speed with many, although they lacked weight to back it up. The Quakers started the season off with an optimistic note, as they held an overweighted Cleveland Rhodes team to scoreless tie. The tus- sle was a see-saw affair throughout, with Dan Smith and Rolland Merrick exchanging punts most of the game. Salem blocked a punt and took over on the Rams twelve. After going to the five the Quakers lost the ball on a fumble to end their only threat. Ravenna proved a little bit too fast for Salem as they racked up a 26-13 victory. The Ravens used their hard, running backs to build a 13-6 first half lead and doubled it in the last two stan- zas. Bob Boone scored both of Salemls touch- downs after long drives.
