Senior Eleven The Sr. 11 squad this year, handicapped by a lack of experience, lost all four of its games to faster, older, and more skillful teams. On Oct. 6, the team opened its Eeasqlon with a 30-0 loss to Middletown on the home el . The second game, against William Penn, a fast team with a lot of football knowledge, was hard-fought but dropped, 20-0. The Midget Reds journeyed to Wilmington Friends on the 2nd of November and played the best game of ball they had played all year, but were overpowered by a much larger team and lost, 23-O. In the final game of the year, a return match with William Penn, the team showed the tremendous im- provement in playing skill which it had made under Mr. Weigand, but did not show any improvement in the prevention of enemy touchdowns and ended the season with a 27-0 loss. Six Man This year's Six-Man football squad began its battle for the cake in October after a period of practice scrim- mage. The hrst game, an exciting contest decided in the last few minutes of play, was won by the Red team under the able leadership of M. Quillin. In the next games, however, the Yellow team, sparked by the in- vincible John D. Cogswell, took and maintained the series to end the season the winner of the cake. The Yellow team consisted of: Shettle, Q.B., Cogswell and Court, H.B.g Vermilye and Levington, C., and Abbott, David Barron and Duke, End. The Red team included: Quillin M., Q.B.g Rowland and Brownell, I-LB., Hulick C. and Rightmyer, C., and Goiran, Thomp- son and Richard Barron, End.

IUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL The St. Andrew's junior Varsity season was fair, as Coach Hughes' team won three and lost three for a .500 mark. Though the Little Saints were outscored on a season basis 84 to 53, this total is not indicative of their ability. In the hrst game of the season, played at New Castle against William Penn, the squad was up against a team which greatly outweighed it. After star guard Bob Richards was injured and removed from the game, the defense deteriorated. When the game was over, the score was 40-0 against the Little Saints. The team came home anxious to work harder to erase this defeat from from their record with a win in their next game. The second game of the season was played against a strong Caesar Rodney team. The Little Reds ran roughshod over the Riders. Touchdowns were scored by Close, Robinson, and Nuckols. Macintire and McGif'fert contributed one extra point each. The team had avenged its initial drubbing with this win. The third game of the season was played against Tower Hill. The j.V.'s played a hard game only to lose, 12 to 6. A 45-yard pass from Teuscher to Close capped an 80-yard march early in the fourth quarter to account for the Little Saints' lone touchdown of the game. Tower Hill scored two touchdowns on reverses. The extra point attempts were unsuccessful for both teams. Though the team was slightly outsized, they did not allow that to daunt them. They fought right up to the final whistle of the game. The next game was played against Wilmington Friends. This game between the Saints and the Quakers was perhaps the closest of the season. The Quakers had a statistical edge on the Little Saints on the basis of their one touchdown win over Tower Hill several weeks before. Though unwilling, the junior Varsity was the receiver of the bad breaks during the game. They dropped the game by the heartbreaking score of 13 to 6. More than once the jayvees were within five yards of the opponents goal. The final play of the game was a thriller. Bob Nuckols intercepted a pass on his own 10 yard line, and raced 88 yards to be tackled on the 2 yard line. The Jayvee reached its peak when it topped Sanford at SAS three days after the Wilmington Friends game. The Jayvee was clearly in command of the game during the entire first half, in which the SAS eleven rolled up 20 points. The second half was played equally well, and in the third quarter both teams were held scoreless. The Sanford offense finally started to roll in the fourth quarter. The Sanford attack was aided by a trick play which the team had not seen before. The attack garnered Sanford two touchdowns and one extra point. Nevertheless, the final score was SAS 20, Sanford 13. The final game of the season was won by a forfeit when the team we were to play told us that the game had been cancelled when we arrived at the scene of the game. This game which we won by forfeit ffrom St. Peter'sj rounded out our season and assured us of our .500 finish. The team was ably led by co-captains Howe Lagarde and Peter Kadzielewski. Lagarde sparked the line with his brilliant tackling, while Kadzielewski, along with Rick Teuscher, quarterbacked the team. The headcoach, affable Blackburn Hughes, was ably assisted by his two line coaches, Mr. Chamblin and Mr. Pell. The team was managed successfully in the eyes of all - with the exception of those who desired Manager Webb or his assistant Al Peirce to provide cold water at the practices.

The Soccer Season Led by co-captains Kit Cain and Charley Barclay, the 1954 soccer squad wound up the winter term undefeated. In the first game with Phelps, the teams, very evenly matched, managed to score one goal apiece. The Saints came through, however, in an overtime period, to break the tie and wind up the game with the score 2-1. In the next game, an unusually good scrimmage with a Middletown High School team, the SAS team scored 4 goals to Middletown's 2. Two weeks before the end of the season the squad again played Phelps School, this time on the Phelps held. The Saints scored early in the game and then again in the third period. Phelps also scored in the third quarter. 'In the last game of the season, the SAS second team played a much improved Middletown squad to a 0-0 tie. Unfortunately, the two games scheduled with Wilmington Friends were both forfeited by Friends because they were unable to get to SAS on the days of the games. llltiirtff THE SQUASH TEAM Nuckols, R., Mitchell, G., Peterson, Hathaway, Brumbach, Whelihan, Mr. Hawkins.
