l i l Coach J. Stanton Keck Ben Paul Ass't Coach joofdaf This was another good year in football. Coach Stan Keck, now listed in football's Hall of Fame as a Princeton All-American great, and Assistant Ben Paul sent their pro- teges out into the gridiron nine times during a season of im- ponderables-seven times against teams of the Yellow Jack- ets' own calibre-and the Orange Wave brought home five victories. The experts say that with a few more breaks it might have ben even a better year. But there was much joy this past fall, especially at the home encounters, for the Jackets kept the home slate un- blemished-as it has ben since 1942. The rallies and spirit of the students had much to do with it, too. West Virginia U. was really out of our class, we aveng- ed a previous loss to Geneva, the trip to Randolph was a picnic, we should never have gone to kent State U., Home- coming was complete with a win over West Virginia Wes- leyan, and St. Vincent was a little more alert than our Jack- ets. After leading by a TD at halftime, Niagara U.'s Eagles rallied to win, 21-13, when our pass defense faltered. Pete Balaban's running featured. Sutton, White and Hrutkay scored as we tumbled Westminster as we showed our best offense of the year. An altercation caused Bill White a broken law. Before the Upsala game on Armistice Day, Miller, Kreuter, Tornabene, Castialia and Janis ran the traditional last lap. Two last period TD's on long drives and a blocked punt brought the season's record to 5-and-4.
