FOOTBALL 1963 For the second time in as many seasons the Wildcat football team ended with a 2-5-1 record. The team was coached by Mr. Montanile, who was assisted by Mr. Rosano and Mr. Youmans, and co-captained by Ray Warenda, Pete Collins, and Tony Muraca. The latter was not able to play because of a shoulder injury. The Cats defeated Crosby and Newington by scores of 14-0 and 26-6 respectively for their only two victories. In the big game with Middletown High School the Cats, who were picked to win by only one out of every six people in a poll taken by the Middletown Press and were three touchdown underdogs, upset the Tigers and held them to a 0-0 tie. The Joseph M. Lucey Memorial Trophy will be held by each school for six months. Dan Mara won the Johnson-Miller Trophy for his outstanding perform- ance in the game. Teaming with Collins and Warenda on the line were Tony Jucenas, Pat Milardo, Jim Mac- Donald, Dan DiStefano, Kevin King, and Don Nelson, while Jim Moore, Jim White, Louie LaRosa, Dan Mara, Mike Imme, John Messina, Curley Ready, and Bob Warmesley comprised the backiield.

The Albert-Leary Award was presented to Pat Milardo as the most improved player on the team. Jim MacDonald and Dana Wilson were elected co- captains for the 1964 season.
