V . . iff ffl Despite the problem of having only three returning varsity veterans, the 1960 Eagles, under the direction of Coach Roger QDutchl Ouderkirk and Assistant Coaches Wilensky and O'Brien, went on to have a successful season. The Eagles combined a great deal of spirit, hustle and light to compile a fine record of 4 wins, 3 losses and l tie. Highlights: EAGLES - West Islip - Great team spirit evident as Eagles came from behind for an exciting 1-point victory. The running of Henry Zukowski and John Salvaggio sparked the team. Also a major factor in the victory, the great line-play of Len Sears. EAGLES - Patchogue - The play of the defensive line and a key pass interception by Phil Bassi, together with the great all-around play of Mike Kelly, told the story in this victory. EAGLES - Lindenhurst - The block of a Linden- hurst punt by Len Sears, setting up the tying touch- down, was the high-point of a clean, hard-fought game played under the lights in a deep fog. EAGLES - Bay Shore - Bay Shore's all-around speed proved too much for the Eagles as they suffered their first loss.

John Sal- vaggio and Richie Utter lead the offense, with great drive and hustle exhibited on every play. EAGLES - Amityville - Eagle comeback in second half fell short as early Amityville lead prevailed. The passing of Phil Bassi and the receiving of Jeff Fallon and Warren Kelly were outstanding. EAGLES - Gopiague - The overall speed of the Gopiague backheld proved the downfall of the Eagles. Line play of Len Sears again tremendous. EAGLES - Babylon - Great Eagle spirit evident once again, Outstanding performance from quarter- back Phil Bassi, despite a broken ankle. Only score of the game came on a pass from Bassi to Fallon and then a lateral to Henry Zukowski who sprinted 30 yards for the touchdown. f. 'Q-, , fy -K in I V , V f-f,.
