Triadelphia moves the ball, but only good enough for a 6-6 tie. A Triad being given an assist . . . to the ground. A Moundsville carrier stopped in his tracks. 1958 tatistics The Union Orange and Blue closed the 1958 gridiron campaign with a -1-5-1 record. The statistics were exceptional in view of the record. The lronmen gained a total of 3,112 yards in 157 carries for an average of 5.9 yards per carry, while the opponents carried the ball 502 times for a total of 2,836 yards, averaging 5.6 yards per carry. Union scored a total of 132 points in ten games for an average of 13.2 points per game, while the opposition scored only 86 points for an average of 8.6 points per game. Bob Butts was the leading ground gainer, tearing out 1,349 yards in 198 carries for an average of 6.8 yards per carry. Ronnie Warble was runner-up in this department, ripping through the defense for 561- yards in 83 carries for a 6.79 yards per carry average. The trained toe and fleet foot of Jack Pennybacker was a valu- able asset for Union this year. Jack, punting consistently every game. averaged 31 yards per punt during 1958. He also caught ten passes for a total of 77 yards. Eddie Warble scooted for 22 yards in receiving 2 passes, and cflessv Padlow pulled down two for a total of 26 yards. Ron Warble received fl' passes for 55 yards. Ron Yanik was on the heaving end of 35 of these passes, completing 15 of them for a total of 96 yards. These statistics are much to the credit of our lronmen, and help to offset some of the distaste of defeat. By way of sum- marization it can be said . . . the coaching was outstanding, the effort supreme . . . the good fortune minimum.
