South High's Bulldogs ventured successfully into eleven man football this year for the first time in the history of the school. Racking up a total of T53 points to their opponents' 20, the Bulldogs finished up the season in second place in the new Saratoga County Football League sporting a 5-l record. Their only taste of defeat came at the powerful hands of Ballston, who gained the championship without a flaw in its record. Lead- ing the scoring department for the Bulldogs was Russ Chase, a fleet-footed halfback, who scored four touchdowns during the regular season. Russ was closely followed by Gary Duell and Bill Opal- ski, both backfield men, and Fred Bullivant, end, with three TDs each. Jim Cutler and Andy Hus- .lim arik had two, while Bill Cutler, Ed Prouty, Stewart and Ed Cridge followed the parade with one each. Building up impressive scores in nearly every contest, the Bulldogs had little trouble in sub- duing the majority of their opponents. Being scored upon only three times during the season was fine credit to the defensive powers of South High. Outstanding defensive talent was shown by Bill Cutler, Don Allen, Keith Short, Hank Ru- dio, and Big Milt Beakbane. Reserve powers on defense were Greg Farry and Jim Stewart. South High's title hopes were dampened when ace quarterback Gary Duell suffered a fractured leg in the all-important Ballston garne. ln the same contest, Fred Bullivant, first string end, suf- fered an iniury to his arm. Bill Opalski and Jim Cutler filled these positions in fine style for the remainder of the season. Coach Lyle Gray capitalized on the assistance of Murry O'Neil, championship soccer coach, in turn- ing out one of the finest teams in the area. Coach Gray drilled the backfield and Coach O'Neil the line. :za 1,5
