Despite losing the first game to Cathedral 39-0, the Golden Bears were inspired by and learned much from the hard hitting team. Traveling to Brazil with determined minds and high spirits, the gridsters fought unceasingly to the final minutes. The Bears, spearheaded an attack late in the fourth period to even out the score but fell short by one foot, dropping behind 19-13. Losing their first and second games, the Bears took out their vengence on the power- ful team from Gerstmeyer. The Bears, led on the gridiron by their powerful defensive line headed by Steve Chernay and Brent Anderson, held the Black Cats to a meager two first downs and a total of 65 yards rushing. The two rugged teams battled con- stantly the full 48 minutes. The Bears proved their superiority by whipping Tech 14-0, thus allowing Schulte to keep the Tech and Schulte Key for the fourth straight year. Quarterhack Clarence Reedy bolts his way X to pick up yardage against Cathedral. 54

Sports events ranging from volleyball to football occupy the annual calendar. School life would be very dull and trying without an outlet for our abundant, unused energy. In fall our vociferous enthusiasm fills the crisp evening air as our team carries the pigskin into the victory zone. During the winter season, that energy is confined within the boundaries of a gym, while the feverish excitement of basketball disintegrates any trace of indifference. When March winds begin to blow, pre- paration for the track season begins, and the smell of linament hangs in the dressing room air. Although the student body at- tendance at some of the spring events drops slightly, those there represents all our wish- es and hopes for success. True, these sports provide vigorous enter- tainmentg but beyond this our teams ex- emplify for us the Catholic ideals of sports- manship and complete our social growth. port . . .

The traditional 'gBattle for the Bronze Helmet between the Golden Bears and the Red Streaks of Wiley was climaxed by an overwhelming victory 41-20. The Bears showed a fine performance on the ground by gaining over 300 yards with Jack Duby, John Gedrick, and Jerry McCormick shar- ing the load equally. The Bears' quarterback, Clarence Reedy, performing with a badly sprained ankle, led the Golden Bears past Crispus Attucks 7- 6, with Mike Ferency booting the pigskin for the extra point that separated the teams. The Bears defense with Jim McQuade and Brent Anderson succeeded in stopping the Attucks constantly at the line of scrimmage.
