Remember: If you can't boost,
don't knock.
We said last week that Won
would like the Buccaneer Football
Team Of 1852, regardless Of their
win or loss record. The better we
get to know the coaching stan, the
more convinced we are that every
one will remember 1852 as one of
the most enjoyable football sea-
sons in many a year.
We hope our readers are already
we'll acquainted with most of the
members of the squad; the candi-
dates for the team; the boys you
will watch manipulate the Leslie
Naumann-Brown ''T" Formation.
Now let's get to know these three
coaches who are working so hard
and working the boys even hard
er-as they get ready for what we
predict will be one Of the most in
teresting and most exciting foot
ball seasons we have ever seen at
the Lake Avenue School. Before
we give you a 'thumg-nail' sketch
OF these coaches, we want to go on
record of NOT predicting a winning
season. In fact, while we are hop
ing, we are not even predicting
more than two wins, but we will
stick our necks out right here and
now to warn every team played by
the Maroon and Gold-frOm Reho-
both on October Srd to Dover on
Thanksgiving-that they will have
their hands full from the kick-off
whistle to the final gun.
