Varsity Football On September 30, 1950, the Saints began the season against a heavier Oratory team, on the home field. Oliver passed to Pote for the first tally of the season. An in- terception by Oliver and touchdowns by both Oliver and Pote accounted for the home squad's scoring. Reo, Oratory wingback, made the visitors' only score of the day. Both teams failed to convert in all tries. Final score: S.B.S. 24, Oratory 6. Monclair Academy was the visiting team for a heartbreaker. Oliver and Pote were out- standing in both passing and receiving, scoring three touchdowns for the Bernies. After a half, the score was 19-6. The second half proved disastrous for the home squad, with a spinner play scoring three more for the visitors. Final score: S.B.S. 19, Monclair Academy 25. Hun School proved too much for the Big Red of St. Bernard's as the former rolled up a 33 to 12 victory at Princeton. The Saints showed brilliant spirit as the combination of Oliver to Pote again worked precisely to score the Saints' lone tallies. St. Bernard's next took on the very strong Delbarton team. In spite ofa hard battle by a lighter and less experienced team, Delbarton's Jasavinsky and Coultas had control of the whole afternoon. Final score: S.B.S. O, Delbarton 32. On a swampy Solebury field, the Nichollsmen were held scoreless for the first three periods against the first and second period scores at New Hope, Pa. Despite a fourth period touchdown by Colton and a powerful last minute drive, time ran out on the visitors. Final Score: S.B.S. 6, Solebury 12. The Saints next encountered a very experienced Morristown School squad, which proved too tough for our line. Colton scored the lone tally for the Big Red, who in spite of it lost the contest by a score of 18 to 6. The second and last win of the season was at the expense of the visiting Friends Academy, on November 18, 1950. Billy Pote had a field day by scoring all five of the Saints' tallies against only two by the visitors. The home squad completed two conver- sions to the visitors' one, making the final score: S.B.S. 32, Friends Academy 13. The last game of the year, the Alumni vs. the Varsity, proved disastrous for the Saints. The Alumni, with eight college players, were in sparkling condition. D'Apolito pushed three tallies across, while Kaus scored one. The Saints were in scoring position more than once but were held back on all tries. The Alumni squad consisted of Peter Basilion, Joseph Meyer, John Wade, Raymond Hyer, Anthony D'Apolito, Theodore Tingle, Oscar Kaus, Jr., Bernhard Bartholomaus, Edwin Nicholls, Roy Trundt, Lewis Garmize, John Turner, Ronald Wagner and Alan Whatley.
