Call to Catholic Action e It is the baitIe-cry of Victory. e William I. Smith, S. I. ?gamaee St. Joseph finished in fifth place in the Valley Parochial Football League, sporting a record of 2 wins, 1 tie and 5 losses. The Buccaneers opened the season with a bang scoring a 13-0 victory with St. Mary, Bay City. Then before an overflow crowd at Forbes field, St. Joseph was upset by SS. Peter and Paul Midgets. Trailing 7-6 with only 2 minutes to play, the Bucs roared down- field, only to be stopped 1 yard from a touchdown, by the final whistle. The Buccaneers rebounded to top the Irish of St. James, Bay City, by the tune of 13-0. St. Joseph was never in trouble, and failed to roll up a big score, because of repeated fumbles. On October 20, the boys from the First Ward were thor- oughly thumped, 27-0 by their west side rival, St. Andrew. The Buccaneers were decidedly off form, and the Orangeiackets took advantage of every break. The St. Joseph Homecoming game was spoiled by an in- vading Bay City St. Joseph eleven and a driving rain. The league Champion Yellowjackets gained their seventh straight triumph in repelling a determined Buccaneer team, 18-0. St. Joseph, stalwarts of the grid- iron, came from behind to tie a highly favored St. Mary Saginaw team 12-12, The Buccaneers played their best game of the year leaving the crowd spell- bound with a last minute passing attack that tied the score. Co-Captain Bob Packard was voted the most valu- able player by his teammates. Guard Don Schabel and Co-Captain Roy Dunn were placed on the All Valley Team. Honorable mention went to Joe Barone, Norm Myckowiak and Johnny Passariello. Firs! row, left to Right: E. Seaman, Manager; J. Pussuriello, W. O'Brien, H. Preuter, D. Greonyu, J. Soria, R. Ceia, R.
