The
Fifth.
| Quarter

FSte AlDdHese, Lne gflZZIeQ VeteT-
an of the amateur athletic scene in
the city of Columbus, paced the
sideline during the st. Francis, st.
Augustine game. The clock showed
two minutes to play and his lads
were trying desperately to hold
on to one point lead. Suddenly
he stopped and looked at us with a
half grin: Why" said he. did |
ever start coaching again?"
We laughed because we knew
that no was referring TO fhe fact
that his gray hairs were multiply.
ing during this season. This was
fhe third game that his St. Fran
els team was either one point or
one touchdown away from fhe
other team. But we knew that
Pete was glad TO be with the
boys because IFS his first love.
TruthfulIy though, the game was
enough to give any coach gray
hair. st. Francis, with TOM YOUNG
and SHERIDAN CAPPOINI do
ing the work, gave o very fine per.
formance against a very good st.
Augustine team. The Linden lads
were all out to win after dropping
their first contest to a good Holy
Name team by one I'd.
It looked very much like they
would come through when Bill
SCHRAMM ripped off tackle for As
yards late in the last quarter but
the threat was STAYED off when st.
Francis recovered a tumble. Jack
White, the st. Augustine coach,
still feels that he has a great team
and we agree. They will cause
trouble in the league before the
season is over.
BIG GAMES
But WoW-what a league is
the Assumption loop. All four
contests played last week were
won either by q touchdown or by
one point. This weeks schedule
OF battles was q terrific one and
We are of the opinion that fhe
games played will have q lot TO
do with the way the league will
lily end.
The same day that we witness
ed the st. Francis, st. Augustine
Game, st. Christopher was deci-
sioning st. Catharine on the other
field at Goodale by a close. one
touchdown score. The two Pre-
sentation League giants engaged
in a very spirited contest with
PAUL SIPE accounting for both of
ST. Christopher's tbs.
The game could have been a diff
ferent story if the East End lads
could have held on to the ball. st.
Catharine team has probably one
of the best passers in the elemen-
tary leagues in the person of
STEVE HAAGMAN. His tosses
which we're accurate and long kept
st. Christopher coach Tony Zier
unhappy all afternoon. But his re-
ceivers just couldn't seem to con-
meet so Tony came out alright
In fhis same league on the
same afternoon St. James was
proving once more what was said
of Them by many observers OF
early season games: that they
have fhe best team in fhe league.
They piled on immaculate Con-
eeption 70 the rune OF 1s 10 0.
Well only one team seems 10 be
real ready TO argue thar point
ard by fhe way, that argument
took place yesterday. Who was
right?
We will here name ED FAIR
CHILD of Holy Rosary as our
choice for coach of the week.
Here's great guy and a mighty
good break for Holy Rosary. Eds
career in football at Rosary High
was a great one and he is using
his knowledge to help the Rosary
youngsters. Ed is now a student
at st. Charles College. We watched
his Rosary team measure st. Pet
er's strength and overpower the
team by 13 to z score. Ed told
us to watch his new formation
the split ''T' (as in eye). We watch
edit really worked but, we won
der what will be next; the Rosary
kids do too. AS for the game.
ROCKY SHEERAN'S leadership
for the little Crusaders spell
ed defeat for st. Peters even
though Bellisari and gang worked
very hard
