Here Coach DeLuca tells a player how to correct a mistake. l02 FOOTBALL The 1960 football season at St. Vincent, while not an outstand- ing one, was not without its great moments. The impressive early- season victories over highly ranked Carnegie Tech and Geneva portended greater things to come for the Bearcat squad and its veteran coach, A1 DeLuca, then a heartbreaking loss to Cali- fornia State Teachers seemed to crush the spirit of the determined squad. After that, the Green and Gold managed to pick up two wins against two losses and a tie to finish out the season with a four-three-and one record. The season was not, however, without its individual stars, namely Mike Scatena and Billy Wydo. Halfback Scatena cul- minated his college career with a host of honors which included honorable mention on the Little All-American team, third string on the All-Pennsylvania team, the Curbstone Coaches' Most Valu- able Player in the Tri-State Award, the Most Valuable Player in the West Penn Conference Award, and a place on every all-op- ponent team. Wydo, a junior guard, garnered honorable men- tion on the All-Pennsylvania team and landed the first string guard position for the second consecutive year on the West Penn Conference team. Tackle Bill Beck joined Scatena and Wydo on the West Penn Conference team also. St. Vincent opened the season against Camegie Tech, a highly-regarded team that had sustained only one loss the season before. Led by Scatena's two touchdowns, the Bearcats pulled out a 13-12 triumph. A week later the gridders engaged Geneva, a team ranked fifteenth among the nation's small colleges. Putting on what was undoubtedly the best second half in several seasons, St. Vincent toppled the undefeated Golden Tornadoes 14-6. Al DeLuca's hopes for an unmarked season ground to a halt the following week when the undefeated California State Teachers squad squeaked out a 6-0 victory. Athletic Director Fr. Roderick, Head Coal
