THE FOOTBALL SEASON The football season held perhaps an unjust amount of disappointment, discouragement, and poor weather for South Kent, but still the team never gave up. That is quite a feat for a team that suffered seven losses. An experienced team from Millbrook won the open- ing game 21-6. Millbrook scored touchdowns in the first, third, and fourth quarters. The Cardinal and Blacks' lone tally was the result of a short pass over center to Pete Richmond. The second game was a close one but Wooster won 14-12. Towards the beginning of the final period with the score 14-0 Pete Tulloch passed to Pete Richmond I Co-captains, Allan . . . . . . and Richardson Y a t '. .' .,.. t A ' 3 Coaches, Brown . . . . . . and Adkins for a gain of fifty yards. Gill Peabody then crashed across the goal line for a touchdown. With four minutes to go South Kent regained possession of the ball on its own 45-yard line. A passing and running attack marched the ball to the opponents' four yard line from which Gill Pea- body plunged across for South Kent's second touchdown. On the following Saturday a strong Westminister team overpowered the Cardinal and Black 31-7. South Kent scored its only touchdown in the last period. Dave Wheelock plunged across after a pass from Pete Tulloch to Nick Frost had set up the play.

YEARBOOK 1956 Pete Richmond tackles Westminster. A week later Salisbury defeated Pigtail 20-12 in a clean, hard-fought game. Having allowed Salisbury thir- teen the first half, the Cardinal and Black began to iight back in the third quarter. Gill Peabody drove through the line for South Kentis first touchdown. Salisbury scored once more in the next period. Towards the end Nick Frost snatched a pass from Bill Farish for South Kent's final tally. Against Canterbury the first half was marked by sloppy tackling which allowed three touchdowns to score. In the second half the Cardinal and Black put up stronger opposition, but it was a case of too little too late . South Kent scored at the end of the fourth period when Pete Tuloch threw a pass to Gill Peabody for sixty yards. Kibby Hyatt recovered a fumble for the extra point. 'Final score: Canterbury 28, South Kent 7. Berkshire won the next contest 39-7. The team did not show much of the spark that it had in previous games. In the final chapter Pete Richmond threw a pass good for forty yards to Nick Frost who scored the only touchdown. The Gunnery game is the game that will be remem- bered from the 1955 season. It was a well-played, hard- fought, spirited game in spite of the snow that continually fell throughout the game. Nick Frost runs away from Gunnery. Bill Farish against Salisbury. ns sl: ' Gill Peabody gains against Westminster.
