arsity Cggootball If ever St. Paul's needed a win, it was against Poly Prep. The Red and Black had gone into the game with a 4-3 record. The first winning season since 1952 was iust 48 minutes away. And, an Ivy League first was far off but visible if Hackley should beat Riverdale. With the first half almost gone, FB Mallett crashed the line behind C Willoughby to reach the five-yard line for a 52-yard gain. The score was never made. Early in the third period Poly wended its way from the Saints' 40 to the 12. Kraus scored on an unexpected play! There was no extra point, Three times afterward St. Paul's tried to reach Poly's goal line-in vain. Once again St. Paul's tasted defeat. The record of the '58 squad was the best achieved in six years. lt had accomplished a tied season, 3-3 in the League and altogether 4-4. It outscored its opponents 133-101, again breaking a six-year precedent, Individually its members re- ceived more recognition than any of their predecessors since the lvy League's start in 1949. Why the losses then? It's in- definite. Possibly unevenness played a part, overconfidence may have iniected itself. However, at times St. Paul's played excellently as it did against Horace Mann. The game with Horace Mann, last year's champions, was the season's opener. St. Paul's won 20-7, Two Sancti touch- downs were made in the first period, one in the fourth. RG Lister's recovery of a Mann' fumble began a 52-yard march that ended in seven points. FB Carver scored the next one behind RT Adams after asmarch of 53 yards, Matthews making the conversion. In the last period LE Gibson caught a pass in Horace Mann's end zone. But at times St. Paul's played poorly, as it did against Hack- ley, Before 32 minutes were gone, Hackley had 32 points. In the second half the Red and Black tried a comeback. They moved 155 yards to score three times. Mallett scored twice around right end, Matthews once. The third quarter conversion was good.

The first loss, that against Riverdale, portended the disap- pointment the Poly game reaped, St. Paul's was favored, it lost 28-7. The single Red and Black touchdown was in the fourth period when HB Malmstrom passed to end-placed Haynes. Caryer ran the conversion. Of the other Ivy League games, both were victories, both white washes. Trinity was scored upon in the first two quarters for a I4-O rout. MalIett's TD was only eight plays away from a fumble recovered by LT Whittaker, the second was scored on Malmstrom's seventy-yard run. Carver and Mallett made good their conversions. The same three scored the points for the 20-0 win over Stony Brook. Each player made a TD with Carver making the conversions. The second loss of the season was to extra-League Friends' Academy, 28-14. St. Paul's tallied at the opening and the close of the game. Two plays after a pass interception Mallett scored. Carver ran his 8th conversion of the season. LG Hed- rick secured a fumble and two plays later Mallett scored again. The conversion was good. The first non-Ivy game was played on Oct. ll against Woodmere Academy. The contest was no contest, it was a runaway. Touchdowns were scored by Mallett, Clayton, Malm- strom, Ludlow, Gibson, Frey, conversions were made by Car- ver, Matthews, and Hein. The end game score was 39-0, It would be difficult to list the achievements of the St. Paul's defense in general and linemen in particular. Yet this year's linemen won more honor than any of their predecessors since the League's inception. Mike Adams, accorded the most praise, was picked for four first teams, Bill Lister was chosen for a sec- ond team and an Honorable Mention, while Tom Monaco lLTl made a second team, Four backs received ten honors: Jeff Mallett, the Fathers' Association's most valuable player winner, made two first teams and three Honorable Mentions, Dave Carver and Wes Matthews one Honorable Mention, and Ivar Malmstrom two Honorable Mentions. Fifteen boys received varsity letters: Adams, Carver, Clay- ton, Gibson, Haynes, Hedrick, Lister, Ludlow, Mallett, Malm- strom, Matthews, Monaco, Steinhauff, Whittaker, and Wil- Ioughby.
