VARSITY FOOTBALL Although the Saints' varsity football squad cannot boas't of an enviable record this season, the team, its captains, and the coaches deserve much credit for the hard work done and the great spirit maintained throughout the season. Unfortunately, the team faced hard luck as well as superior competition in the majority of its contests. The Saints dropped their first game to Sidwell Friends, 39-14. The Red showed only occasional spurts of good teamwork, scoring once in the third quarter and once in the fourth. Spangler scored the hrst six points on a handoff, and Foster converted for the extra point. In the last quarter, the Saints' attack was more effective than in previous periods, despite a sixth Sidwell tally. Foster carried the ball for the final SAS TD after a series of running plays had brought 'the ball to Friends' four yard line. His extra point try was good. SAS showed improvement in the following game, although they dropped a thriller to Baltimore Friends, 15-7. Friends were the first to break into the scoring column, getting their TD on a 20-yard pass. By sheer drive and several beautiful passes, SAS battled for a score in the third period. Foster's kick tied the score at 7-all. In the early moments of the fourth quarter, a Friends' tackle intercepted a lateral intended for Spangler deep in SAS territory and scored easily. The conversion was blocked. The Saints managed to push across another touchdown in the closing moments, only to have it nullified by a penalty. The game ended with SAS battling to score and Friends fighting to hold its lead. On October 10, the Big Red lost its third consecutive game in a hard-fought contest by a score of 25-7 at Sanford. After the ball had changed hands several times, Sanford tallied on a series of line bucks. Four plays later, Sanford scored a second time and converted, making the score 13-0. In the second period Sanford shifted to a passing attack and scored again. The try for point was blocked, and the score was 19-0. Sanford's fourth tally came on a 57 yard run in 'the third quarter. Early in the fourth period, the Saints drove to the Sanford 13. Two line bucks by captain Brumbach gained 'the Red its tirst score of the game. Foster converted, making the score 25-7. Penalties and blocked passes prevented the Saints from scoring again, and the contest ended with the score unaltered. The next game, with Wilmington Friends, was perhaps the most evenly contested game the Saints played all year. The Saints received the opening kick-off, and on the second play from scrimmage a beautiful pass from Brumbach to Battin went 60 yards for a TD. In keeping with the now firmly established SAS jinx, the touchdown was called back on a back-in-motion penalty, to the great dismay of the screaming St. Andrew's fans as well as to the team. Although the Saints continued to fight, they were trailing at the end of the first half, 13-0. A newly inspired squad left the dressing room to enter the second half. The first ofticial SAS score came on a line plunge by Brumbach in the middle of the third quarter after a series of passing and running plays had clicked. The kick was wide. Midway in the last period, a tricky reverse by Spangler and Foster netted the Red 60 yards and put them five yards away from pay dirt. Three plays later, Spangler racked up the TD on a handoff. The conversion, which proved to have been
