Servite 25 St. Joseph 0 The Panthers really were the cats that swallowed the canary--er, the Blueiay. ln the last contest between the two schools for the Fleming trophy,Servite trounced the St. Joseph contingent by the score of 25-O, the highest of the series. Nick Serra started the ball rollir.g with a T3-yard trip into the zone. The play of the game came in the second quarter when Paul Maloney intercepted a St. Joe pass. He was trapped quickly but later led to Chuck Gleason who made a beautiful 47-yard run to the Blueiay two-yard line. Two plays later, Gleason blasted over for the TD. Paul Maloney scored twice in the fourth quarter on a 45-yard romp and then on a pass from co-captain, Nick Serra. Black Kittens Get Their Bull 2 A v if 'C' A., wifi- ff? iz Lib N-Cm.. Larry Vargo Offense and defense are the same to this lanky 6'2 , T85 lb.iunior end. lf there's a man with a different co- lor iersey standing, Knock him down, is Larry's motto. Larry scored a touchdown in the Charles game but is still wondering what happened in the St. Florian tilt. Head iniuries received during that battle left him with a two-day case of gridiron amnesia. Elected co-captain for the '56 season, Larry promises big things for the future of Servite in football.
