to""give away another trophy,'too!) But there's something wrong. -
Not with the playersr There can't be much wrong with'a team which '•
tucks a defeat under its beltand uses'it'for.reference throughout the r
-rest of the season.MaybeI»mall wrong. Maybe we'll knock the hell
out of Fairfield and Niagara^ etc., etc. But, win, lose or draw/there
is something lacking in the* supervising structure of the Vikings—the"
coaching 'staff. Maybe it lacks this thing we refer to as tact. Or- it
could be Ithe lack of perception. -Personally, I believe a coach has
more to do than simply drill a team against its own defense. i He' also
has fcrbe able to pick out the potentials of each and every player, and
make that player actualize those potentials.' During a week of practice,-he
should i be slowly 'bringing the team,' as a unit and as individuals,
to. a mounting pitch-like-a roller coaster going up that
long climb—which suddenly.opens up and explodes on the day of.the
game.* *••! V.

After edging Manhattan, 20-18,
the Vikings brought their season
"record to 2 and 1 with Sunday's
-14-7 defeat of Catholic University.
' Playing at, Cardinal Stadium
J in Washington, action began
in thet first.. quarter when C.U.
quarterback, Murphy, with a first
and ten situation on his own 30
yard line, completed a pass to
his right end, Chiavelli. The
Cardinal receiver was able to
elude his defensive man, and
easily scored on a 70 yard run.
C.U. completed-a one point conversion,
leaving the Vikings behind,
7-0.

FOOTBALL 4 PM
Cardinals were on the Marist 34,
with a 4th and 14situation. C.U.'s
place-kicker, Gibbon, was sent in
to attempt a field goal from about
forty yards out. When the ball
bounced off the uprights for an unsuccessful
attempt, C.U.'s scoring
threat ended for the duration
of play.
Marist's first score came in
the second quarter with aConroy
pass. O'Reilly's conversion attempt
was no good, and the half
ended with a one point edge for
C.UV
i After a nine play march from
their ~own 48,'the Vikings found
themselves with a third and goal
situation in the middle of the
third quarter. Quarterback, Conroy,
scored on- a keeper play,
and quickly followed up his tally
with a two point run to the right,
bringing the score to 14-7,
Marist.
Late in the fourth quarter, Bill
Dourdis fumbled on a first and
goal situation on the one yard
line. The Cardinal offense was
able to move the ball to the ten
yard line with the aid of a pass
interference penalty against the
Vikings. C.U. lost the ball-i
downs, and two plays later, time
ran out with the" ball in Viking
possession.

MarisFs final loss was suffered
at the hands of Kings College.
The 3-0 shutout brought the Red
Fox record to 1 and 3, on Oct.
14.
Except for a few sparkling moments
against Patterson State,
injuries and bad breaks took
their toll against Marist. It
was Dennis Vernoia and Gordy
Walton who tallied in.the open-'
ing game. AgainstNyack, Walton
scored again with a penalty kick.
Bob Palumbo recorded the second
point with a well-driven corner
kick.
The _ loss of Bro. 'Isidore j
Sabeta this" season, due to an
ankle injury,, has made the
Marist^ offense considerably
loose." The offensive -drive has
also suffered with the absence of
Egon Olafson and Bob Mennonna
due to injuries. Coach, Howard
Goldman, - concedes, however,
that the~ Red "Foxes were outhustled
in their > meeting with
Kings. . ~ "
Future - concentration on
basics, and" drills on the execution
of plays should shape the
team to a powerful composite.
The center fullback, McCleary,
is just beginning to make the defense
jell with the aid of goalie,
Paul Sicilia. When Bro. Isidore
returns to the line-up, the hooters
will have a much stronger
defense than the one shown against
Kings College.
