HOMECOMING
Cheerleaders stir up
excitement before students
leave for the
Homecoming game.
Wesleyan's Tigers relied on the passing of quarterback Dick Schmitt to
down the Broggermen and keep their
undefeated string intact. The result was
a 19-13 victory, dampening the Ambrose homecoming festivities.
The two teams traded early touchdowns, the Tigers scoring on a long
pass. Jack Brookhart sprinted up the
middle of the field for the Ambrose
marker. Brookhart's dash covered seventy yards. Both teams failed on the
extra point attempt.
A pass from Jack Abbott to J. J.
Hanrahan covered 18 yards and gave
the Bees a 13-6 lead after Mitch Ware
booted the extra point.
A fumble by the hosts set up the
tying marker as Schmitt passed to Al
Abbadessa from nine yards out. Hester's PAT attempt was good.
After the Ambrose offense bogged
down midway in the final canto, the
Tigers made their final bid for victory.
Unable to move the ball on the ground,
Schmitt, once again, took to the air
and connected on a 40-yard aerial for a
marker, sewing up the contest.
Captain Bill Kenny leads
team out of locker
room to start second half.
