Perhaps that’s a cr\ lhal is reminiscent of the banners around
Shea Stadium this fall (break up the Mets!), but old aches and
pains themselves gave the students a bit of a shock with their fine
showing in the faculty orientation football game.’
If you missed it, you missed a treat. What with Coach B
Wildered teaming up w ith his able assistant “Sunshine Superman"
and Joltin' Joe, the trio-formed a blitz that was a personification

* Of course, not all the credit for
the fine victory posted by the
faculty team goes to the defense.
The offense was potent, and at
times even explosive.
All-stars like the Trembling
Dean, Stone Man, and the Money
Man contributed their share for
the annals.
The list goes on Super John,
the Quiz Kid, Stuinblin' Steve,
And D, A Little Soul and that
other fellow.
But the coolest head and the
sharpest eyes and arm belonged to
a Bare. There is more to be said
about that' arm. After failing to
connect on a bomb to open the
game, a Bare came back with a

“.Oohs v and “Aahs” from the sidelines. Is this going to b£ the

No happy day for the orientators.
And now it’s time for the defense to go to work, and they do.
That pass rush put on by B Wildered and Joltin' Joe has the
opposing QB on his toes, and on the run.
Oops! Fifteen yards against the Dean.
For offsides? No, that’s a five yard penalty. Good going refs,
you’re really on the ball today. Yes, we all know he’s not suppos
ed to step in the lane before the ball hits the rim.
Some how that offsides penalty has now convinced Joltin' Joe
, that his charge is not fast enough. Out of the slick bottomed
sneakers and into the Bare feet. That should produce some re
sults. Gonna be interesting anyway.
Strong rush on the quarterback — Interception by Coach B

Good job by the defense again.
Well, a punt by. the faculty — that’s strange..
A perfectly executed blitz by the defense again - Interception

Comments on the sidelines about the last interception:
"You see, when you gel the rebound, you’re supposed to

Profs Win 13 to 6
by Don Nottingham
ThC faculty, led by quarterback Bill Abare, swept by the stu
dents 13 to 6 in a hard-hitting game. Ronnie Bennett, the student
team quarterback, wAs rushed,hard all afternoon by Dean Joe
Hendricks and Coach Bobby Wilder. Off and on blitzes by the
faculty came at Ronnie almost every other play, giving him little
time to get off an accurate pass. „ •
The faculty scored their first touchdown early in the first
quarter on a long pass from Abare to Lou Johnson who was
helping out the short-manned faculty team. The play started as a
blocking back pass by Johnny Mitchell, but Mitchell flared back
to Abare when he was rushed hard.
Later in the quarter the student team staged a drive to paydirt.
Ronnie Bennett threw the short pass to Chuck Brewer to tie the
score at 6-6 at the end of the first quarter. The quick, hard-hitting
rushes<by the faculty made the difference during the remainder of
the game. In the middle of the second quarter the faculty scosed
the deciding blow. .Abare hit. Andy Robinson on a short pass In
the end zone, then came back and made the extra point on a pass
to Jerry Lee.
The last half of the game was a succession of attempts by the
student team for a score. When they did get down near the goal,
though, passes by Ronnie Bennett were intercepted.
Faculty rush hurries Ronnie Bennett’s throw as excitement mounts.
