Martin, Everett unior Varsity Football CC His YEAR,S Junior Varsity football season may be summed upf, remarked Coach Ed Hino, was rather disappointing. Tom Beddow, Bob Hardaway, and John Lacey played well, but the rest of the squad didn't work up to its potential. Finishing the season with two wins against five defeats, the J.V.'s record was perhaps misleading, for only two of the losses were decided by more than one touchdown. In a rain-drenched opening contest, the Blue offense coulcln't get started, and Georgetown Prep squealced by, 6-0. The Saints faced Springbroolc next, and once again found the opponent's defense too much, as they lost l2-0. In a hard-fought battle, the Blues lost to Episcopal on a late Maroon touchdown. After George Hillow scored on a one-yard plunge in the first quarter, the defense held for three quar- ters until Episcopal recovered a Blue fumble on their own forty-yard line and went on to score in two plays. In their next game, bad weather and field conditions helped O'Connell edge the J.V., 6-O. Ending a four-game losing streak, the team trouncecl St. Stephen's, 22-0. The defense, led by hard-charging Bill Bible and Ralph Patterson, played its best game of the season. The J.V. continued their winning ways against Sidwell Friends with a 36-20 victory. The Saints started rolling as soon as they got the ball and scored on the first play from scrimmage. I-Iardaway and Lacey both tallied twice, and Ingersoll once, conversions were made by Bill Yates and Hardaway. To finish the season, the Blues succumbed to Landon, 12-0. -JOHN LACEY 76 ATHLETICS 1963

The Western game was mostly a defensive game, Polak made the only score on a five-yard plunge. The offense, however, had two good chances to score, but they were held within the ten- yard line by right Western defense. Georgetown Prep, IAC Champions and 7th ranked in the city, squeeked past the Blues. The final score was 14-6, and Polak's touchdown run, which should have tied the game with a success- ful conversion, was called back because of a penalty. The following week the Varsity defeated St. James 27-14, at home. Co-captain Hobart inter- cepted a pass and ran 32 yards for a touchdown, and John Paulson raced 80 yards for another score. Episcopal, ranked number one in the city, smothered the Varsity, with All-Metropolitan Ed Carrington catching seven passes, one for a touchdown, to lead the Maroon to a victory over the Blues. Dan Woodruff and Will Polak scored the only Blue touchdowns. For the past several years, Coach Wild has scheduled different team for the fifth game of the season, this year we met St. Anthony7s, The game was played at John Carroll High School's rocky field, and we managed to win, 13-0. Co-captain Rubino showed his fine ability in this game when he raced thirty yards for a touchdown, he was the big gainer for the Blues. George Damon kicked the extra point. Rubino again led the Blues to victory the following week against St. Stephen's. He scored two touchdowns, and Woodruff one in a game at which St. Albans had more spectators than did St. Stephen's, although the game was played on the loser,s field. Playing one of the poorest defensive games of the year, the Blues eked out a 22-22 tie in the homecoming game against Sidwell Friends. Sidwell's Tom Pyles scored on a 78-yard run, but the Blues came back with the offsetting touchdown after a 33-yard pass from Goodman to Symington. The game went on in this seesaw fashion for the rest of the afternoon. The Blues had the upper hand during most of the game, but had to hold off a Friends drive at the end. The big game with Landon was probably the most exciting of the season. Since Prep had al- ready clinched the IAC title, the game was being played for second place. It was not until the final quarter that Joe Bailey faked a punt and passed to Doug Ruggles to set up the only score of the game. The Blues outplayed their rivals throughout the game and had the ball within the ten- yard line four times, but could not score. At the banquet the night after the Landon game, Co-captain Rubino was awarded the Doc,' Green Award for his inspiring play throughout the year, and Bob Brooks was named next year's Captain. -DoN SYMINGTON.

The team showed more qualities than mere 'elifef' as it swept through an undefeated season, marred only by a tie with Landon. The Blues started the season with a victory over Georgetown Prep, 23-6. Georgetown drove 63 yards for a score the first time it had the ball, but touchdowns by Taylor Chewning, Tim Gold- ing, and John Hurd gave the victory to St. Albans. In their next outing, the team defeated a weak Episcopal squad, 25-6, with Hurd passing for two touchdowns and scoring two himself. The team continued its winning ways against St. Stephen's, 6-0. Hurd scored the lone touch- down on a 75-yard run, but it was a tight defense that halted a Red drive late in the game and preserved the victory. St. Alban's tied Landon, 20-20, on a rainy afternoon in a game which, according to Mr. Gro- cock, 'Qcould have been won under playable conditions. Blue touchdowns in the seesaw affair were scored by Bill Adams, Bill Asher, and Dave Baker. Mr. Grocock remarked at the end of the season, I am extremely pleased with this team. The line was excellent-playing hard-hitting, steady ball all season. -BILL Asi-IER TI-IE ALBANIAN 77
