FOOTBALL

Those of you who tuned in on the Blue-Grey game on Christmas Day in Montgomery, Alabama, and the Shrine EastWest game in San Francisco on New Year's Day undoubtedly heard some familiar names. The Yankee team was captained by none other than our old friend Jonathan Jenkins, who played approximately 50- minutes of the game at tackle and was acclaimed the outstanding lineman on the field. At the other tackle for a considerable spell was Ray Truncellito of Dartmouth, who had sparked the 1948 Green line at guard but had been shifted to tackle in the All-Star squad because of a shortage of skilled operatives for this position. The third member of the Green triumvirate in this game was Conrad Pensavelle, who completed several passes and broke away a couple of times on his favorite bootleg play around the end. So the Confederacy saw three outstanding Yankees from Dartmouth. P.S. The Yankees won 19-13.

The Shrine game saw Captain Dale Armstrong starting at left end for the East and Joe Sullivan at left half in a backfield composed of Rossides of Columbia, Kusserow of Columbia, and Panelli of Notre Dame. Joe carried the ball (along with Panelli) a good part of the afternoon, but distinguished himself especially in his familiar defensive role. Besides running down the western backs after they had broken through the forward wall, Joe intercepted a pass that set up the winning touchdown for the East. Dartmouth -was on the winning side this time with the East coming through by a 14-12 score. The points after touchdown came from the able toe of Bob Dean of Cornell, the man who did a good deal of the damage in the Dartmouth-Cornell game a month before.
