over from the 3 to register the first score of the day. Harry Field stopped the same Mr. Ferri when he tried to rush the P.A.T. and kept the damage to 6-0. On the ensuing kick-off, Dave Connor foiled an attempt at an onside kick by fall- ing on the pigskin at our 47, so the Red and Black put on a sustained offensive that tied the score. A short pass from Green to Deignan began the attack, power plunges by Murph kept it rolling and a long-awaited penalty against St. John's for unnecessary roughness helped considerably. When Bob had consumed 13 yards in two cracks over right tackle, Tom Green wisely varied the attack by flipping a short pass to Hilt Collupy over the goal line and the count was dead- locked at 6-6. Bob Joyce tried a pass for the extra point, but it failed to click. Almost as soon as the second half opened, the officiating began to assume most prom- inent proportions. Earlier in the day, Gene Pierotti's father had been banished from the lines for trying to protect our rights in his capacity as stake-holder and Mr. Frank Coyle had to replace him at the insistence of the referee. On the fourth play of the third period, Ed Fleming uncorked a pass which Andy McAuliffe intercepted but the whistle blew and a double penalty was called: clip- ping against St. John's and uroughing the passer against St. Sebastian's. Feeling that the penalty was charged to him, jim Ryan asked Why ? and was promptly put out of the contest for the day. Unable to gain, the home team kicked to our 11 but, when Andy attempted to punt out of danger, the snap- back was off the beam and he was smothered on our 8. Immediately afterwards we lost the services of Hilt Collupy through injury and two plays later Fleming passed to Opper- man for a touchdown. This time Ferri hit left tackle and made it, 13-6. A fumble on the following kick-off was recovered by the Prep's Beichert but it did no harm for Bob Murphy intercepted a Fleming pass on the very next play. Shortly thereafter, however, Andy's punt was blocked on our 24 and the double lateral play that followed produced 8 yards for St. john's together with 15 yards called against us for piling on . With the ball on our 1, Ferri hit center for a score and a line plunge added the point after to run the total to 20-6. Early in the last period we hung up our last score of the game, chiefly by virtue of a 44 yard run by Andy on the Villanova Play . This piece of strategy had advanced the pigskin to the Danvers 31, whereupon Andy danced through ROYAL ROOTERS AT CRANWELL -I Q5 1-
