Although we had two losses, a great deal was learned from both. The Chief was determined and full of nerve. From his original goal he would not swerve. A great athlete, was forced to retire On his spot went a sign, For Hire . Tom Ryan, a tremendous competitor, a team member; For the team, he would constantly be a glowing ember. The Chief 0-2 then began to ramble. The NEW DEFENSE was worth the gamble. The Chief zeroed on Lions of Albright And succeeded in making it an all dark night. Big Jim Feijo was setting his nose, John Hanff and George Adams were playing like pro's Dave Hawkins at backer and Rick Blangiardi at tackle. Made hits on the Lions that would indeed crackle The Albright backs were held in check Mike Lusignan at end was catching passes like heck. Mark Kingdon dragged three men to pay dirt The Chiefs left Pennsylvania without a hurt. Equinas Homer is (Colby Mules) was our next test John Kozlowski and Willie Boynton were at their best. Our defenses again held the Mules at bay Curtis had four - a hell of a day! We left Maine with two wins in a row.. . Northeastern was next and we were ready to go. We rolled into Boston psyched up as could be. And stuck on to the Huskies much like a flea. John Curtis caught seven, a sight to behold Dave Buddington was too much for N.U. to control The defense was rolling and gaining steam The goal line stand was the best the Chiefs had seen. We finally came home, 3-2 for the season; The Aces were next and we needed no reason. Roger Lambert started off with the hit of the day, Glenn Dumont was shook up for the rest of the way.
