arsity Football The Big Red under the leadership of co-captains, John C. Turner and Sheldon Bruns, and the coaching of Mr. Harold D. Nicholls, assisted by Mr. James E. Winters, produced one of the best football seasons at St. Bernard's in many years: six victories, one defeat, and one tie. On October 8, 1949, the Saints met a determined Oratory eleven, at Summit, N. J. Feeling each other out during the first two periods, the visitors went to work in the air. A pass to Tingle from D'Apolito, another to Oliver by Tingle, and the last T.D. pass to Tingle from Oliver, accounted for the scores. The extra points were by D'Apolito, and Dunning. Final score: S.B.S. 20 - Oratory 0. Hun School was our worthy opponent on the home field, October 15. Starting off early with a touchdown, Hun remained in the lead until the final minutes of play, when a touchdown pass from D'Apolito to Clarvoe tied the score. Final score: S.B.S. 6 -Hun 6. The disastrous day of the season was October 22, when a strong Delbarton team trounced the Saints for the first and only defeat of the season. Two T.D.'s by Havas, one by D'Alia, Callahan, and Foley, with Callahan converting three times, accounted for the final score: S.B.S. 0 - Delbarton 33. Entertaining the Blair Academy Jay-Vees on what was supposed to be an open date, October 29, the Big Red bounced back to beat Blair. All three S.B.S. touchdowns were made by the running of quarterback Tingle, who scored on 5, 20, and 30 yard runs to put the game on ice. The line played an outstanding game and their blocking was all that Tingle needed. Final score: S.B.S. 18 - Blair 6. ln a free scoring contest on November 5, the local varsity defeated Solebury School. The Saints were sparked by the hard running of D'Apolito and Horner, and the accurate passing of Tingle. Clarvoe, the Saints' ace pass receiver, grabbed the ball in the end zone for the final score, after D'Apolito scored three, and Horner and Tingle each getting one. Excellent play on the part of the line and their ability to open holes was a deciding factor of the game. Final score: S.B.S. 37 - Solebury 20. November 11, 1949, saw the Saints defeat Morristown Prep for the first time in twenty-seven years. D'Apolito paced the attack with two scores and Horner one. Tingle passed to Clarvoe for the other score. One conversion was made by D'Apolito. The final score: S.B.S. 25 - Morristown Prep. 0. Traveling to Locust Valley, L. l., on November 19, the Big Red won the fourth game in a row and the fifth of the season, by beating Friend's Academy. Tingle scored three times and passed to Horner for another score. Friend's tried to keep up as they scored three times on short runs. The final score: S.B.S. 25 - Friend's Academy 18. The last game of the season was played on Thanksgiving Day, November 24. The Big Red won in a mighty tussle with the Alumni. The game was pretty close in the beginning, but then the Saints started to roll. With D'Apolito, Horner and Tingle doing most of the running, the Red Wave slowly crept over the old grads. Two scores by Tingle and one by Walter accounted for the touchdowns. The extra points were by Dunning and D'Apolito. The final score: S.B.S. 20 - Alumni 0. T421
