Midc h Popular Noontime Activity North Shore Symphony Plans To Present Concert

The music r om has attracted more students than has any of the other noontime activities. There has been an average of twenty-one and a hal f people ev-ery day.

This proves that there are a good many students i n our school who real ly appreciate good m u -sic. A few students went to the music room to hear swing and were disappointed the first minute or two ; after that they were t h a n k f u l that they had found a place to hear real music.

I f the interest keeps growing as fast as i t has i n the past few weeks a music appreciation course may be started to supple-ment the noontime concerts, at which the w e l l k n o w n symphonies and operatic arias have been played.

Among the composers whose works have been heard are Dvorak, Beethoven, Wagner, Smetana. Bach, Tschaikowsky, K.reisier, ana Strauss.

The N o r t h Shore Symphony Orchestra again held its weekly rehearsal under the direction of Oscar Sodero i n the Manhasset High School on Sunday after-noon. The students f r o m this h igh school who have attended the rehearsals so far are Angela Manso, Fred Smith , H a r r y HeLf-r i ch , Jean Swain, and Dick K i r k -up. Many residents of Port Washington play i n the orchestra, and there is s t i l l room for a great many more, especially viola, French horn, and double bass players.

The Symphony plans to p re -sent a concert some t ime i n the near future , and is now w o r k i n g on Schubert's Unfinished S y m -phony, Liszt's Preludes, and Weber's Oberon Overture.

Miss Wi ley spoke of her s trug-gle for recognition w h i l e she was s t i l l i n h igh school.

Committee Named To Investigate Handbook G. O. Is Planning To Publish Handbook For Newcomers About Port High School

A t the November 21 meeting of the student council a co i . i in . t -tee of three was appointed to look into the possibilities of p u b -l ishing a student handbook. This handbook would contain in forma-t ion about school i n general and its extracurricular activities that should be of interest to students entering this school. The com-mittee has since been expanded to include the fo l lowing m e m -bers: A n n H a r t e l l , Jean Swain, H o l m Hinrichs, Warren Baker, and Owen Thomas, chairman. Since many other schools have such handbooks, the committee has sent to twenty- f ive other schools in the state for a sample copy of its handbook to aid them i n planning ours.

I t is hoped that the first ed i -t ion of the handbook w i l l come out i n January. This first ed i -t ion w i l l be given to each student i n the school, but subsequent ed i -tions w i l l be given only to en-ter ing sophomores. The hand -book w i l l be revised at two year intervals. Small changes between publications w i l l be taken care of by inserts. I t is Hoped that the p r i n t i n g can be done by a shop project financed by the G. O. fund .

The handbonlr w i l l al—-• "'>n+qin in formation about the various curricula, the school clubs, the athletic, art , dramatic, and music departments, the G. O. constitu-t ion , a floor plan of the school, the school songs and cheers, and other miscellaneous rules and customs.

Noontime Dancing A week ago last Wednesday the noon-time dancing that

the Student Council has sponsored was held for the second time. The music was furnished by a student orchestra, who have as yet not had very much experience, but who, in spite of this, do play well.

F o r an enterprise such as this, which is rather novel in this school, one cannot expect a huge crowd on the dance floor. However, it seems that the great majority of the stu-dents in the cafeteria prefer hiding themselves in their own little groups and criticizing an orchestra that is doing its best rather than getting up and dancing and thus expos-ing themselves to the unmerciful stares of their fellow stu-dents.

Many students might attempt to say as a defense that "none of our friends are dancing" or "what 's the use of danc-i n g ? " or "why waste energy?" but all these alibis, and al -most all others, are really only dodges. The truth seems to be that the school populace is afraid of being seen.

We hope that this Fr iday a few "studes" will take it upon themselves to start the ball rolling a little more than it was on Wednesday, so that crowd psychology will over-come the inhibitions of the "cafe loungers".

Suggestions For Christmas Gifts

Since "Franksg iv ing" Day, N o -vember 23rd, the American peo-ple's trust i n things " t r i e d and t r u e " seems to have vanished, i f not completely, then f a i r l y thoroughly. I f the almost' sacred Thanksgiving holiday, the oldest American t rad i t i on , could be "moved d o w n " to accommodate the American businessmen, any-t h i n g can happen, they say. " I t Can't Happen Here " said S i n -clair Lewis , ah, b u t M r . Roose-vel t proved h i m wrong . The ac-commodation M r . Roosevelt made for the American businessman seems to have put h i m on his guard, for one enterprising i n -d iv idua l inserted i n his store w i n -dow this sign, "Do your Chr i s t -mas shopping now, tomorrow may be Christmas."

F r o m the survey taken f rom a dozen or so assorted " G i f t Cata-logs", i t wou l d seem that the de-partment stores' idea of "Heaven" on Christmas morn for Mother wou ld be a m i n k coat, perfume, and a house coat; for daughter, a m i n k coat, i f not m i n k , some such " f l a t t e r ing " f u r , perfume, and a house coat. For father they have a lovely, practical , unusual assortment of smoking jackets, slippers, and ties—a combination of w h i c h wou l d send any male into ectasies of delight, i f not ectasies, at least, del ight . A f ter every Christmas, mother or sis-ter, or brother, or daughter says that next Christmas Father w i l l get something " o r i g i n a l " , and ev-ery year finds h i m w e l l supplied w i t h "Christmas t ies" , and such.

Up To The Minute It 's very simple to say w i t h a

nice long column, I need to f i l l up space, but darn, it 's hard to t h i n k of what to w r i t e . I wrote a long one last week and they cut out hal f of i t .

Miss Svea Olson and I r v i n g Peterson, both former students of Port High School, were marr ied on Saturday afternoon. The bride wore an ivory satin gown w i t h a sweetheart neckline, leg o' m u t -ton sleeves and a long t r a i n f r o m a bustle, and a tu l le ve i l . The bride carried a muff of gardenias.

The maid of honor, I n g r i d O l -son, wore the same type of dress w i t h a jacket i n lavender taffeta and she carried a muff of roses and violets. The bridesmaids wore American Beauty dresses just l ike the maid of honor and also car-r ied muffs of violets and roses. The muffs are quite a unique idea and i t made the whole affair very effective.

Evening dresses are going to be a matter of great interest now that Christmas is r o l l i n g around. W i t h dances and parties every night you w i l l have to have a change. I f you are the clever type and make your own clothes you are very lucky because w i t h one pattern and a great deal of i n -genuity you can make one dress look l i k e three. The a l l impor -tant part of whether you should be covered up or cold as far as evening clothes go is up again.

For some informal dances sad-dle shoes, sweaters and skirts are out. These things have their place i n the school room, but for the up and coming F r a t r y Hop this costume is not the th ing .

The Cross I Serve By M A R G A R E T DUMPSON

I I t 's t ime to help the needy.

W i t h the things they cannot buy, Money for food, money for shel-

ter. Wel l , I guess you a l l know w h y .

I I Oh a l i t t l e penny w i l l help so

much. Yes, a l i t t l e more i t w i l l too,

Of course as much as you can spare.

But that is up to you. m

Just t h i n k that you yourself are poor.

There's nothing le f t to eat. No home to be kept i n ,

You are l i v i n g i n the street. I V

Now t h i n k of yourself w i thout the clothes,

To protect you f rom the cold, Or t h i n k of yourself w i t h o ut the

money, To buy the clothes that are

sold. V

Oh, I know i t w i l l feel so good, When you sit down to eat,

To know that you have helped someone

To food that tastes a treat. V I

Wouldn't you l ike to go around. A n d say, " W e l l , I 've done m y

best"? Of course you would , there is no

doubt, You want to be just l ike the

rest. V I I

Can you say, " I ' ve done m y part , A n d I have done m y very

best"? Then I am sure y o u ' l l feel so

great. To leave to them the rest.

vm I've served the Red Cross of m y

county, A n d I have 'helped the people

of m y town. Now the needy, they are up ,

A n d sometime, may help me when I am down.

Port Profile Louise Moore's seventeen years

have been spent i n New Y o r k Ci ty , St. Petersburg, Flor ida, Great Neck, and finally Port Washing-ton. She has two brothers, and collects everything "under the sun", inc luding stamps. Among her favorite recreations are d r i v -ing (a car) and swimming at the Sands Point Bath Club ( i n sum-m e r ) .

Because of the interest she has in other people, as w e l l as her tact and charm, Louise has found her way into various school clubs and activities. (She was, as you may remember, recently elected to the Celerity. ) She is also a member of Clio and vice-presi -dent of the Circle. Despite the fact that she someday hopes to w r i t e , "sheer laziness on her p a r t " has prevented her j o in ing the Port Weekly staff. "Miss" Moore is registered at Smith where she w i l l w i l l continue her studies, and major i n English. Louise is one senior who w i l l be greatly missed by many of us. Just the same ( i n event of her graduation) we wish the g i r l lots of luck.

Have Decided To Be An Architect

By A N N E R O S S I have decided to be an ar ch i -

tect; not the usual k i n d , of course, but a new type, unheard of be-fore. For my particular special-ty w i l l be the bui ld ing of schools for the comfort and enjoyment of the pupils. Below are the first brief plans of m y dream school as I planned them i n study t o -day.

I n the first place, the p lo t of land chosen for the school should be about 1,000 acres, to al low for f ox -hunt ing and r id ing . F u l l y two - th i rds of the l o t shall be densely wooded, and sans swamp, sans mosquitoes, sans poison ivy , and sans a l l the other "undesira-bles." The school itself shall be situated on a l i t t l e ridge, and shall be constructed i n a r a m -bl ing style on several levels. There w i l l be three main b u i l d -ings: the main classrooms, the gymnasium, and the cafeteria. I n the classroom, the chairs w i l l be comfortably padded w i t h leather, the rooms decorated tasteful ly w i t h w a r m and i n v i t i n g colors, and a l l the rooms shall have open fireplaces. This system of heat w i l l be practical only i f the rooms are b u i l t on a small scale, so that they w i l l be ent ire ly heated.

The cafeteria is decidedly a problem. B u t after much pon -dering, I imagine that I w i l l plan i t as a lodge, a sort of open house w i t h two huge fireplaces, one at each end. The tables and chairs shall be made log-cabin style, and the entire effect w i l l be quaint and rustic. The g y m -nasium w i l l be very large, con-taining equipment for a l l the usual indoor sports. Outside, there w i l l be an ample field and several tennis courts, just as the physical education instructor wishes. Below the gym w i l l be vast' locker rooms, w i t h t i l ed showers and ind iv idua l dressing rooms. The other hal f of the bui ld ing w i l l be devoted to a 50-yard swimming pool w i t h two d iv ing boards, and the stables, w i t h a dozen or so horses.

Thus we have our dream school. M y idea behind the project is that such abundant op-portunities for pleasure and good times should be an incentive to study and good grades. B u t would they be?

This week we welcome a maga-zine to our advertising, SONG H I T S . Each month i t appears w i t h the lyrics of the current ly popular songs, plus many other interesting features. Among them are reviews of current record-ings, previews of musical movies, articles on personalities i n the music business, and now a new item—the " A w a r d of the M o n t h " , a plaque that is presented each month to the orchestra leader, vocalist, or songwriter who has been most noticed dur ing the previous month . Give SONG H I T S a t r i a l — i t certainly seems l ike a good magazine to us.

Ode To A Keyhole Well , here we are back i n

school after a nice long vacation. Dur ing the holidays many things of interest happened. Among them was the annual A l u m n i dance at Manhasset. There were a few Port couples there and also a large congregation of stags f rom our own school. " D u c k " Swan and Midge White, Ray F in lay and Nina Cox, M a r y (undecided) Nicholson and B i l l Edwards, also Ruth Scholl and Bob Heinel (Oh Quiz) , wh i l e " I v y " Iverson, Doug Donald, B i l l Shawcross, George Quisenberry, Danny B r i m m , and " Y i d e l l " Kearton were the neces-sary stags. Gertie Edwards seem-ed to be the center of attract ion for Doug and " I v y " . The music was excellent and maybe i t wou ld be a good idea to get the same band for some of our dances.

The Glen Cove game, one of the most tradi t ional games on the Island, drew a large crowd of Port rooters. As you know, we had something to ye l l about and I t h i n k the team deserves a lo t of credit. Among those present were Carol Van Zandt and Henry Frost Phyl l is Warren and Kennie Dillenbeck, Steffie K u r e j w o and John Kehoe, Henry Peper, Sonny Morrisson, Bucky Lewis, " B u t c h " Cramblet, Russell Mort imer Beck-ley and V i r g i n ia F in lay , B i l l Ames and Alethea Hamm, "Pop" Bangs, Fluf f Harrison and some out of t ow n g i r l . Jean Rankin , M o l l y Copp and Helen Davis were a pretty threesome a l l l ooking for boys.

I t seems that after the game there was a fight w i t h B i l l y Shaw-cross and M i k e Contino tak ing no small part i n i t . The boys claim that i t was i n self-defense.

Fr iday night a group of plays were presented at the St. Steph-en's Parish H a l l and after the program there was in fo rmal dancing and refreshments. Our Senior play was presented again and i t went off just as success-f u l l y the second t ime as the first. A few items of interest were Jack Ferisi and Natalie Porter cal l ing and waving back and f o r t h across the ha l l , "Doc" Ehre adding "his a l l " to the entertainment. B i l l Shawcross and M a r y ( s t i l l u n -decided) Nicholson going a l l r ight , (never m i n d T i n k l e ) , Jean Rankin looking very nice w i t h a jun ior h igh boy, Pete Loiseaux, and Howie Stephenson and R u t -lage Ray enjoyed the dancing very much.

We were requested not to say anything about a hen party at 34 I v y Way two Saturdays ago by some anonymous source so we find i t necessary to say i t was quite a success but don't do i t again or else.

Haro ld Johnson, Jean Mel lor , and Doug Donald went to the " b i g " c i ty and saw the Columbia-Colgate game. They say that they had a good t ime. "Zeke" Ehre saw the Vi l lanova - Manhattan clash and he, too, enjoyed h i m -self. Norman Seifts, Danny M c -Carthy, Francis Hedges, and Tony Salerno were another group that saw the Columbia-Colgate t i e . A l l - i n - a l l i t was a b ig day.

Charles H e w i t t had a small gathering Fr iday and that t a l l mother ly - looking g i r l was not there. She must have had a n -other date, eh Charlie? Instead some other "deb" took her place. John Bonnin and M a r y jane Ford, Snookie Kissam and Gert E d -wards were the rest of the party . W i l l i e Griffes and K e n Iverson dropped i n for a wh i l e .

Herr Baron Schoenborn, when asked i f he'd continue to date a g i r l after six months of not being kissed, responded, "No—^I l i k e mine rough and ready!"

Notes on Use Senn—she and Ray Fin lay (who, incidental ly, dated Nina Cox for the Manhas-set dance last Wednesday), are now merely friends, wh i l e B i l l Griffes is resuming his old post of the n i n t h and tenth grades i n Use's date book.

Basketball Teams, Captains, Chosen

W i t h no further ado or p r e -l i m i n a r y mishaps the basketball season has gotten under way. Af ter hectic arguments and coax-ing fourteen boys finally have been dragged into choosing teams. They and the names of the ir teams are as follows: Joe Deliavecchia—So. California Jul ius Picardi—Alabama Dick C r o m w e l l — A r m y Pat Caruso—Pittsburgh Theo Robinson—Stanford J i m O'Day—Navy Joe Phil lopone—Notre Dame Buddy Ve i t—Fordham Red Seifts—Columbia Chester Nakelski—^Yale Walter Zebrowski—N. Y . U . Harold Kel ly—C.C.N.Y. Bob Walter—Princeton Bob Bohn—Dartmouth

The first seven teams make up the American League, w h i l e the last seven make up the National League. The winners of each league w i l l p lay i n an i n t e r -league playoff at the end of the season.

Prognostications By B E T T Y A N D E R S O N

Most schools t u r n out a few Presidents or a Senator i n the course of t ime, and f rom the ap-pearance of the crowd here now, i t looks as i f Junior H i g h is go-ing to set a record.

I won ' t say we're a l l A number one students, but w i t h people l i k e Homer A l l i n g t o n , and P e t e Loiseaux around, how could any-one help but have br ight hopes for the future?

I n case anyone doesn't know i t we have an actress-to-be i n our midst. Our w o r t h y editor has some very decided ideas about that, unless she becomes too i n -tr igued w i t h gossip columns i n the meantime.

Eve lyn O'Nei l l w i l l probably blossom for th as a poet, i n fact she's headed i n that direction r ight now. As for artists and m u -sicians,—we have them galore. I n fact our musicians keep M r . Christopher quite w o r n out.

There's one boy i n 9 B , — I wouldn ' t t h i n k of mentioning any names,—who shows a de-cided talent i n the field of wise-cracking, and who wouldn ' t sur-prise me a b i t by becoming a second Jack Benny. A n d jus t by way of in forming you, his teach-ers wouldn ' t be surprised either.

I haven't mentioned Scientists yet, have I? But as we face the combined forces of M r . Mark le , Miss Armer , and Miss Kinne , i t seems inevitable.

The rest of us, I guess, won ' t be very smart, and won ' t be very dumb, we ' l l just "get by" . We are the most common i n spite of a l l our teachers' efforts.

Dinner Is Served! By B E T T Y A N D E R S O N

Twelve o'clock means one th ing —lunch , and lunch means several things—a jab i n the ribs, a bowl of soup i n your lap, a place be-tween two elbows and five or six feet, and a cafeteria that r e -sembles a mad-house. Now I ' m not t r y i n g to be gloomy,—don't mistake me. I ' m just t r y i n g to make the best of a very sad state of affairs. The first d i f f i culty you encounter is t r y i n g to get w i t h i n reasonable distance of the trays, and your efforts are greeted w i t h w i ther ing glances and several gentle(?) shoves, supposedly to remind you that there are a few hundred ahead of you and just as many behind you,—al l w i t h the same ideas. B u t i f you do manage to get your lunch and a tray, and st'ill be i n one piece ( i f wonders d idn ' t happen we'd a l l starve)—you mustn't t h i n k your troubles are over. Oh, no. They have just begun. You s t i l l have to get out of the mob, and it 's just as hard as get'ting i n , only this t ime you're going one way and everyone else is going a n -other.

A n d then there's the t r i f l i n g matter of chairs. Most people, unless they've been horseback r id ing , prefer s i t t ing to standing. We outnumber the chairs two to one, so there's quite a Bat t le Royal before everyone gets set-tled. Some of the chairs are a l -ready beginning to show the strain,—and it 's rather uncom-fortable to sit i n a chair that's deciding at the last minute whether it 's going to stay i n one piece or not.

Oh, w e l l , w h y complain???? I t might start something, and any-way—we're lucky . What i f we had to wash the dishes???

From Reader's Digest Child's Def in i t ion : A n adult is

Thai Awhd Ride By FRANCES K I E R N A N

H o w I remember the day! It stands out i n m y m i n d l i k e the last t ime I was paddled. You see, i t was the day I endured the torture of the t imes—My First Horse-Back Ride!!

I left for school that morning, a l l dressed up, and f u l l of en -thusiasm over the prospect of getting on a horse the size of a s l ight ly over-grown Shetland pony, and being able to w i n a blue r ibbon i n a horse show.

But , oh, what a surprise was in store for me. When I was finally mounted, that terr ib le brute of a horse t 'umed his head, glared at me w i t h a vicious t ium of the lips that made m y teeth play t i d d l y - w i n k s , and then started off at a gallop ( I found out lat'er that i t was a t r o t ) . I don't know what happened after that. Slowly, slowly, the hour crept by. I don't believe I have gone through such a long hour, before or since. A n d a l l d u r -ing that hour I suffered. I bounced; I bumped; I listened to the inst'ructor w i t h ears that didn 't hear. F i n a l l y I asked h i m what the horse's name was, and in re turn got a lo t of letters m i x -ed together that spelled some heathen name. Or maybe i t was a warcry ; I don't know.

When I finally got off the h o r -r ib le th ing , I was so stiff that r ight there I said to myself, "Never Again . "

I t was only when I got home that I f u l l y realized just how stiff I was. I ached i n every bone and muscle. That evening, and for several days later, I ate sup-per off the mantle ( the reason Is obvious). B u t the next day!!! I could scarcely get up, much less go to school. B u t I went , any -way. Ahem!

Letters To Editor Welcome A n opportunity w i l l be given to

the student body by the Port Weekly staff to w r i t e "Letters to the Edi tor " . I n these letters sug-gestions or comments may be made concerning the social and educational "set -up" of the school. M r . Kezar hopes this idea w i l l make the school paper a bet-ter one.

By H O W A R D STEPHENSON Football is w e l l out of the way

now and basketball is tak ing the l imel i sht . But before leaving football let us look over some of this years statistics. As far as the games went Port won three, Jest three, and t ied one. The "Blue and Whites" chalked up a total of 70 points throughout the season whi le their opponents scored 72. Biro was Port's h igh scorer w i t h 42 points made a l l season. Erfertz and Bessell both scored two touchdowns. " V i c " De Meo made five successful conver-sions and Andy Johnson kicked one extra point. I n most a l l the games Port made a successful t h i r d quarter push and scored 32 out of 70 points i n the t h i r d quar-ter.

Boe B i ro was undoubtedly the most valuable player i n the Port backfield whi le Sarge Wise was the star of the l ine. Bert Schauer was the surprise player of the season and Don Cromwel l and Eddy Crejzka t ied for honors as passers.

We can only look f o rward into the forthcoming basketball sea-son w i t h doubt and optimism. Andy Jessen is the only regular first team player back f rom last year's squad. Jessen played a good game and ought to help the team out plenty this year.

Al though the squad hasn't been picked for this season some l i k e ly candidates are dougy Donald, Joe Zaremba and Alex Morrisson as forwards; and Bert Schauer, John Smith , Sarge Wise and Ed Caputo as guards.

The team w i l l play four prac-tice games before the conference games start i n January. The "Blue and Whites" w i l l open the season by playing Oyster Bay at Oyster Bay. Next w i l l come three home games, one w i t h each of the fo l lowing teams: Ade lphi , Sea Cliff , a new r i v a l of the Port quintet, and then Roslyn. The ten league games w i l l be played after the Christmas vacation.

"Suppressed Desires" Rides Again At St. Stephan's

By N A N C Y G A I G N A T I n reviewing the records left

by this season's soccer team, we find that i t is not as outstanding as that left by the hockey squad. However, this may w e l l be a t t r i -buted to the lack of support given to this act iv i ty . The student body seems to be much more enthusias-tic about hockey, even though the two sports are rather s imilar . We hope that next years team w i l l be more successful.

The first game of the season was played between tne first and sec-ond teams. The outcome of this game was a t ie . I t helped to get the gir ls i n shape for their future encounters w i t h outside teams.

The first outside game was

played at Sea Cliff, which we lost.

In this game Port scored no

points in the first half, but four

in the second half. The final score

was 10-4. The next encounter, i n wh i c h

B a l d w i n was the opponent, was played here. We were defeated, although the girls put up a brave fight. A r e t u r n game was played here w i t h Sea Cliff , and our op-ponents again came out on top, w i t h a score of 4-0.

' ihe last game of the season was played w i t h Great Neck. This was a hard fought battle on both sides; however since neither team was able to score the result was a t ie .

Anne Hartell was the high scorer of the season, having made the only four points which were scored. The second team didn't fare well, either, but we hope that next year's team will be much improved.

The inter-class vo l l ey , ba l l games started last Tuesday, but as we go press, the results of the first games aren't available.

The basketball season w i l l start on January 22. A large number of aspirants are expected to t u r n out.

On Saturday, November 24, the Seniors who won the Interclass Play Contest this f a l l , gave a r e -peat performance of the i r play, "Suppressed Desires," at St. Stephen's Parish House.

Port High Fights To Tie Glen Cove

The Port H i g h football team ended its football season a week ago Saturday when i t t ied Glen Cove 7—7 i n their annual m i d -November tussel. The Blue and White was sparked by Bert Schau-er who was playing his first v a r -sity game.

Glen Cove started out as i f to smother the Blue and White , scoring i n the period w i t h Pierce and Daliadowicz carrying around the Port ends. Glen Cove swept down to the Port five yard l ine. Here Mastr ianni , the r i g h t end, took the ba l l on a deceptive end and scooted over the Port goal l ine . Pierce scored the extra point on an end r u n and Glen Cove led 7—0. Late i n the t h i r d quarter the Port eleven, fired by their fa i lure to reach the payoff terr i tory and sparked by the r u n -ning of Schauer, launched a sus-tained dr ive that carried f rom the Port 15 to the Glen Cove goal l ine. On this dr ive Schauer and Bessell made the spectacular gains on end runs and tackle plays, but when Port reeled a few yards for a first down i t was B i ro who got the bal l . Glen Cove was unable to stop the rampaging Port f u l l -back who scored f r o m the 1-yard l ine on f our th down after tak ing the ba l l on three of the previous plays.

The last quarter saw plenty of hard fotbal l , w i t h both teams making val iant attempts to score. Bessell and Johansen interrupted Glen Cove passes i n Port t e r r i -tory to ha l t two drives by the Red and Green. Then Cromwel l snag-ged a 35 yard pass by Grzejka, in the clear, but was nailed f rom behind on the Glen Cove 37| The three frantic last-minute passes fai led as the game ended.

The center of the l ine played its best game of the season. Hope, Bor i o t t i , Wise, and Jessen con-t inual ly smeared the Glen Cove plays before they could start. Whi le Johansen broke up many a play after deciphering i t f r o m his position behind the l ine.

Glen Cove holds the edge i n the series between the schools w i t h 14 victories compared to nine for the Blue and White . I n addit ion to this year's deadlock, two other ties have resulted f r o m the feud.
