before they could capitalize on their newly gained ground. Even though both Frey and Hayes scored in the second half, it was to no avail as the men from Brunswick left the field victorious by a final soore of 38-13. Captains Foster and Moulder led the re- venge-seeking team against Trinity-Pawling on October 29. Early in the first quarter the Saints took advantage of a TP fumble and Macintyre scored from the 10. Before the end of the quarter, however, Trinity-Pawling had also scored and the score stood at 7-6. In the second quarter, on a kick partially blocked by ' Varian, Howe grabed the loose pig-skin and raced for a touchdown. TP tied up the score at 13 all, and from the middle of the third quarter until the end of the last quarter the score remained that way. The ball changed hands many times, but neither team could score. Then, with seconds left, the TP team burst through for a tally from the 1, handing the Saints a 19-13 defeat, the second of the season. .1 On November 5, the Saints wiped up a rain-Hooded field with the Mountaineers from Storm King. After the Saints scored, the Storm King men plugged up the Saint's run- ning game and forced them to the air. Shostal connected on several beautiful spot passes, eventually leading to another score. Macintyre bulleted over from the 10 in the fourth quarter to make the Enal score a lop-sided 21-0. November 13 was the date for the final game of the season against Saint Luke's. Again on a muddy field, the Saints were defeated by the score of 13-6. The Red and Gray from . New Canaan time and again tried to smash through the line but were stopped. At the end of the half it was a scoreless tie. Early in the third quarter our rivals from Connecticut scored on a screen pass from the ten yard line. The Saints then bore down and stopped the in- vaders until early in the fourth when the Red and Gray again tallied. The Hill- toppers, now down by 13 points, started to move and finally scored on a long pass. However, this was to no avail, for time ran out on them before they had a chance to score again. Although they were defeated, the Saints played one of the best games of the entire season, in spite of the fact that they played a much stronger team. This year, as in the past, the Saints' fielded a strong, well-conditioned, if somewhat in- experienced, team. , Although the record was not particularly impressive, everyone gained the needed ex- perience for next year and perhaps future years of college ball. The prospects for next year's team retuming are excellent, and pro- viding they play heads-u ball, the class of '57 should be able to proguce a fine season. THE MITRE ' 37

When the opening game against Oakwood finally arrived, there were thirty-three men in uniform, well trained and eager to play. VVhen the Saints took the field against the Cguakers from Oakwood, the playing field was thoroughly rain-soaked and mu -ridden. The spirit of the team was terrific, and backed by a tremendous Parent's Day crowd, the Saints rolled Oakwood 19-0. This game forecast the type of line play that was to pre- vail throughout the year. Time and again the Saint's line, consisting of Skip Howe, Bill Hayes, Tony Kloman, Tilly Foster, Roy Enz, Ceorge Varian, and lack Butler, nailed the opposition for losses. Neither team could break the scor- ing tie in the first quarter, but, in the second period, after a sustained drive, Macintyre scored from the 1. In the second half Frey scored on a punt return, and Skip Howe intercepted a pass and scored the final tally of the day giving the Saints their first victory of the season, 19-0. The next game was with Brunswick on October 22. Here the Saints met the biggest and most powerful team they were able to play all season. Time and time again the hard-charging men from Connecticut crashed through the Saints without much opposition. The S. P. S. team caught fire right before the half, and with a fine run b Norm Pritchard, they began a march that the clock cut short 36 THE MITRE

Varsity Basketball The 1955-1956 basketball season was one filled with ifs and it should haves. The record, 4 and 10, does not show the team's capabilities. Although the majority of the games were lost by close scores, the blame for these defeats cannot be placed on any one person. The Saints fought hard, but it seemed they were unable to come through with the winning drive when it was most needed. The team, under the management of rookie coach Bob Schlett, showed a willingness to fight, but often they could not overcome the complexes of the so-called big teams. Prior to the Christmas holidays, the team lost its only two scheduled games to Haldane and Hackley. The Hackley turned into a rout as the well- drilled men from Tarrytown fast-broke the to death. However, this ' was Haldane game. The score and was dead- game. In the over- baskets and went These two' served to demor- to have the men the holdidays, the took Scarborough, and quick succession.
