HE Wes eleven initiated its ,51 cam- paign in an impressive manner, bowed out eight games later in a spectacular 01i- max7 and sandwiched a mediocre season in between. Under the leadership of Captain Bill Me- Cluskey, the Cards started the season with an auspicious 28-6 win over Middlchury. The Visitors from Vermont were hopelessly outclassed throughout all four quarters, net- ting but two first downs, while the VVesmen gained at will. Friek Soule unleashed the most exciting run of the day, as he skirted left end and scampered fifty yards for XVes- leyanis first score. For the first half of the Bowdoin fray, it appeared that the Wesmen might continue their winning ways. The Polar Bears, how- ever, capitalizing on an effective two-pla- toon system, changed the complexion of the game quite convincingly in the second half as they drove for four touchdowns. The Cards made a good showing against a strong Coast Guard contingent, which was to finish the year with an unblemished re- cord. Sparked hy the stellar passing of Johnny Brigham and the receiving of Dave Jenkins, the XVCHan outplayed their oppon- ents, hut lost herause of their inability to gain inside the oppositionis 20-yard line. The Wesmen boosted their record to the .500 mark as they took the measure of an aggressive Upsala squad in a rugged, 'tno holds barred,7 contest. Standout for the Cards was fullback Ric Sardo, who booted four placements and raced the opening kiek-off ninety-one yards for the longest Wes TD of the year. The Wesleyan-Amherst thriller was a credit to the teamis fighting spirit. Trail- ing 21-7 at one point in the second half, Coach Daniels7 charges rallied for a spec- tacular finish in the final quarter.
