New ooaeh New players New season The new look at Salesian fails to produce a winner Much has been said about this yearls football squad. Many have harped upon its poor showing, its inexperience and mistakes. As a final note in the epitaph of this year,s season a few words should be said about the seniors, most of whom concluded their football careers this year. First of all our co-captains John Chikos and George Boisineau, although disabled most of the season, these young men performed well, and set a fine example for the younger players. Paul Makar, Louis Wojtowicz and Stan Williams were our senior backs whose running efforts kept the Salesian offense alive. Norm Novelly, Doug Balutis and Sam Cant, are three seniors who blocked very consistently on the strong side. At split end we had the capable hands of Roland Mabin and Greg Huddas. Huddas, a late comer, did a fine job and Roland, a tough, aggressive ballplayer, often sparked our defensive unit. On the weak side of the line we had Abe Aziz, a guard whose performance earned him All-City honorable mention honors. Also opening holes on this side of the line was kicker, tight end, Chris Downey, who together with Abe, turned the weak side of the Knightys line into the strong side. These men were not outstanding stars but they were good players, and they were so because they had the desire to play and a great deal of pride in themselves. EM .,,. The viciousness of the Austin game is reiiected in this bruising tackle made by Sam Gant and Paul Makar on an Austin player after he had fielded a Salesian punt. Although the Knights hit hard, they still came out on the short end. After the snap Jim Frankoski prepares to pitch the ball to Stan Williams. Due to the effective blocking on the line, the timing of the quarterback and the powerful running of Williams, this play netted a good five yards - teamwork once again. 119

Varsity is ever-present menace for central title ' , .51 Iunior Varsity quarterback Pat McGuckin arches the pigskin over the outstretehed hands of an aggressive Notre Dame defensive end. Pat's cool head in situations such as this often paid off in valuable first down yardage, to keep a drive alive. Sophomore quarterback Pat iVicGuckin and sophomore halfback Ralph Bedogne streak past a tardy Notre Dame defender. These promising young ballplayers were offensive standouts throughout the season and appear to have a bright future with Slesian's Varsity in years to come. fi lm 9 121
