Wolfeboro - Sanborn seminary of Kingston, NH. came to town on the holiday and administered a 26-19 setback on the gridiron to the Brewster eleven. The two teams were evenly matched and it was a hard fought game throughout.
Brewster made the initial score early in the first quarter. Dick Harris racing 20 yard for the tally. The placement for the point after touchdown was blocked.
The most exciting play of the afternoon came after the subsequent kickoff when Bobby Mawson, Sanborn right halfback took the ball on his own 20 and galloped 80 yards for a touchdown. Kenney Davis, left end threw a block at the 25-yard line permitting Mawson to go the distance. Mawson kicked the extra point, sending his team ahead 7-6.
Second quarter scoring was by Danny Smith of Sanborn on a line buck through center, Mawson booting the extra point and extending the visitors lead to 14-6. This was the way the half ended. After halftime, Brewster came back strong, marching downfield to the three-yard line in a series of four first downs. Sanborn, however, stiffened and held the Brewsters for downs in a brilliant goalline stand.
Smith of Sanborn in two long sweeps took the ball out of danger and a series of passes Mawson to Charles Sanataro netted the visitors third score, making the tally 20-6, the kick being wide. Brewster twice scored in the fourth quarter, the first score coming on a pass play, Beck snaring a pass from Harris, good for 15 yards and a score. A pass for the extra point went incomplete. Each team scored in the late moments.
Sanataro annexing his second touchdown of the afternoon, catching a pass on the goalline. Once again the Sanborn placement for point after was blocked and this was the end of the visitors scoring. In the final two minutes of the game, Brewster took to the air. Hoadley snaring a pass on the Sanborn 20 and breaking away for the score. Smacking the line in a rush play the point after touchdown was good, the game ending soon after.

Injury-Hobbled Sanborn To Meet Tilton JV's Tomorrow.
Published Haverill Gazette, Oct. 16, 1953
Sanborn seminary handicapped by injuries, might encounter trouble tomorrow in its home game with Tilton JV's, Coach Joe Dehm said yesterday. "It looks bad, but we'll give it all we have." Dehm said. "We may be able to win with a ground game." Two key men will be sidelined with leg trouble. Dehm reported, Co-Capt. Cliff Smith has a bad knee, and may be able to play in the last game of the season. Pete Graham, a capable man with a strong passing arm, has a sprained ankle and probably will not be able to play tomorrow. Co-Capt. Dan Smith has been bothered by a sore leg muscle this week, but Dehm is confident the leg will be in shape by game time. The coach is quick to point out that Sanborn needs playing power badly. The team has lost both of its game this year, dropping the first to Pinkerton 26-12 and the second to New Hampton last week 13-6.
Dehm will rely on an "untried backfield, which he says will include Phillip (Rocky) Bamford, fullback, with halfbacks Bob Mawson and Dick Langton. He can find one consolation with the thought that Tilton has not won a game yet, either. He says pridefully that the team looked good last week, but then adds, "These injuries make it look doubtful tomorrow." Then he noted that 14 of the 28 boys who came out for the team are freshmen. But the freshmen can be good too, as the case of Elvin Miller would indicate. Miller is playing fist-string tackle with the varsity after qualifying at the beginning of the season. There are four seniors on the team, the coach noted, listing Cliff and Dan Smith, dick Heselton, a tackle, and Roland Kimball, the center.
The best prospects seem to be Bamford, Charles Samataro and Bob Mawson, according to Dehm. Who is beginning his first year at Sanborn. He coached Antrim High School last year, and played four years as varsity center at Arnold College. In addition, he won 12 letters, including those for basketball and baseball. He will coach Sanborn's baseball tea, as well as teach Biology, English and History.
Dehm 27 years old, is close-mouthed about his plans for the game. But he agrees he has to rely on the line with the absence of regular backfield men. "They looked good last week." he said. "Now we'll wait and see." This year, Sanborn is in a small prep school class, instead of competing with local public schools as it has done previously. Donald Clark, school Athletic director, attributes the change to using post graduate students.
"It was a matter of using the PG's or dropping football," he said. "We couldn't field a acceptable team very well without them." Clark listed the post-grads as Bamford, Mawson, Samataro and Graham. Brewster and New Hampton should be good matches for Sanborn. Clark believes, and he plans to invite Governor Dummer and Mt. Herman in future seasons.
