Sanborn Drops Football

Haverhill Gazette. Published September 11, 1975 on page 17

Kingston, NH. - Sanborn regional school board voted to drop senior high football at Sanborn regional high school, with regret, at a special meeting Wednesday night at the Bakie school.
This is the second time that football has been dropped , mainly due  to poor participation by the male population. The first time the sport was dropped was four or five years ago. It was reinstated last year.
Coach Andy Yeo said that program this year started with 27 players and since the start, 12 to 20 players have attended practices.
Coach David Faucher middle school felt two year ago that football stood a chance at the high school level because there were 35 to 40 boys in the middle school football program. He wants football and would love to see it in the high school.
Both coaches felt they couldn't participate in the program this year with the eight game schedule and that it would be impossible to play in the state division next year against teams like Hanover, Kingswood, Franklin, Bishop Brady and Timberlane and others. They felt sorry for the boys that did turn out, but didn't want them to be hurt physically.
Yeo said "the boys didn't commit themselves to summer practice and changed priorities after the opening of school." Some boys were caught in the middle, they love football and it's not fair to them. The attitude of the kids that turned out for football was good the coaches felt, but as for the others, it was a lack of enthusiasm.
"Another problem was last year boys performed for about 25 or 30 parents or friends when they played. Enthusiasm of the adults was lacking also." Faucher said he has 45 boys out for middle school football this year.
Principal Frank Morgan of the high school said, "If football was dropped this year, Sanborn is 'all washed out' as far as the state division is concerned. Sanborn could go on as an independent team, but scheduling will probably be difficult"
Faucher doesn't want to say "throw in the sponge" This would affect him, as a coach; to know that the kids are all through with football when they get to this freshman level.
Athletic director "Red" Edgar suggested middle school football be dropped next year, but faucher didn't want to discuss that possibility.
Morgan said that teams in division 3 do not have both football and soccer in the school program, just football.
Blame was also placed on double sessions at the school, which gives students more time to work, Morgan said that he has never recommended that anything be taken away from the students, but for safety and other reasons stated during the meeting, he recommended that high school football be discontinued.
The original cost for the football program for the 1975-76 was $6,250, but some of the equipment is in bad shape. If the sport was to be continued, morgan said that he would need a financial commitment, as one paid assistant would be needed, to do the job right, two assistants - an expensive sport.
When the student council president was asked if there had been any reaction from the students following Morgan's announcement over the public address system concerning the program, the answer was "no reaction"
Morgan stopped practices Last week due to insurance coverage then announced the reason to the students.

Yeo Impressed By Attitude

Haverhill Gazette   Sep. 10,1974

Football has been revived at Sanborn Regional High School, Kingston,NH. With about 33 boys going through a sturdy program of fundamentals under coach Harry Yeo.
    The sport has been re-instated primarily on a three year lapse caused by the lack of interest and high costs. School board agreed to reactivate football at a meeting last spring. The biggest thing we have going for us is the attitude of the boys, Coach Yeo said. They want to play and are willing to learn. We've had four days of workouts and are stressing running, blocking and tackling. We don't have too much speed as yet, but plenty of size.
Of the 33 boys only two are senior and six are juniors, giving indication of a building program. A junior high program at the school last year proved highly successful with more then 30 boys taking part.
   The season's opener is Sept. 25 at home against Shawsheen Regional. The Indians will play 10 games, including five on a freshmen level.
   Coach Yeo feels he is at least two years away from varsity football and believes it's all up to the players. "We had a lot of kids who said they would come out and never did," he added. "Others came out whom I never expected. This season will be more then a conditioning program for us. Were going into this to be competitive.
While football was in the dormant stages, soccer became the school's major sport in the fall under Coach George Tucker. The Indian booters are out to improve last year's 3-8 record and Coach Tucker has welcomed back 12 lettermen amid a crew of 30 boys. Steve McPhee will be back at center forward while Co-Capts.. Scott Ratta and Brian Dolliver have resumed their halfback roles. The first game will be Thursday against Oyster River at Durham.

Football Notes

We got clobbered wednesday against Georgetown. I was completely heartbroken, especially since we came up with the supreme effort against Manchester. The boys were hist frist and hard. It was cold, we were without Wilson, but basically we got clobbered.
For those of you who didn't see the Manchester game, the boys were down 14-0, came roaring back to take the lead 16-14, only to lose it in the last seconds.
It has been an excellent season as far as spirit, enthusiasm, courage, the team dedication is concerned. If we continue to try, we will eventually come up with a winning team. Until the school grows and we can build a program, we will have to support the boys on faith and respect. We will win if you believe in us.
What will next year be like? Here is a list of veterans returning, where they played, and which class they are in: Ends:Langsigne-F, Mayhew-S, Batchelder-F; Tackles: Wendell-F, Kaskiewicz-S, M. Stevens-F,Tidd-J: Guards: S. Clark-S, T. Clark-F; Halfbacks: Coffey-S, Broyer-F, Mathis-S; Fullbacks: Wilson-J, Martin-S;Center: Tom Miller-S; Quarterbacks: J. Stevens-S, M. Alberts-F. Robie, who did not play much this year.
This is a good, gutsy bunch of kids to work on, and as long as they truly want football here at Sanborn, I am willing to stay and work with them. Never have I coached such a fine bunch fo kids as the 1968 Sanborn Football Team. Just for the fun of it, lets count them: 4 starting linemen; 2 starting backs return. 7 dependable freshmen, 8-2 year experience sophomores. A potential All-State junior. By the way- a wonderful boy for our manager, Bobby Chrigstrom.

Seven boys I will never forget:
Roy Roberts: A genuine football player from head to toe. My candidate for the All-State. Could he lend me some courage? He's got more then he needs. Who will fill his shoes?
Wayne St. Hilaire: The perfect gentlemen, How he came along as a leader is good copy for TRUE magazine. All-around A+.'
Buddy Hamel: The most unique character I have ever known. I've talked to him about an assistant coach's job next year. How I hate to lose him, just because he's Buddy Hamel.
Russ Case: Russ never should have been a football player. He had every kind of obstacle to hurdle. For this reason we all should respect every inch of him for what he developed himself into. His sense of humor and gentle spirit came straight from home and parents.
Hal Dod: A rough, tough guy who developed a wonderful sense of team spirit as the year went on. We had to ask a lot of him and he delivered. Lets wish for the best for him and his family.
Bobby Field: Bobby will probably miss football more then anybody. Everything we asked him to do, he did and more. He typifies the qualities that made up our team this year.
Dwight Simes: I have coached for 6 years now, and I hav eyet to see a boy that handled this difficult job as well as Dwight. He did everything but wash the dishes for my wife. We will miss him. (We--Mr. Edgar, Mr. Walker, Mr. Hill, Mr. Phaup, and all the boys)

We took many hard knocks, we had our share of bad breajs, we had moments of glory, but our boys had the courage to stick it out for 10 long, grueling weeks. For this alone, they can hold their heads high and be proud.

Thank you boys!
Coaches Phaup and Walker

P.S. thank you, cheerleaders, well done! Your spirit and enthusiasm was appreciated. Donna, Pam, Dawn, Pam, Carol, Julie, Helen, Michelle and Linda. Miss Mitchell, thanks.

Football Notes

Published Nov. 5, 1968

Skippy Clark played a beautiful game last week. He did a fine job at defensive end, and made some outstanding blocks. The long pass killed us. Hannigan, for Timberlane, is a excellent quarterback. It was heartbreaking to lose by such a tremendous score, because the boys put so much preparation into the game. We had everything diagnosed, but Timberlane was a experienced, well drilled, almost professional type team. When it was third and long yardage on one occasion, they pulled off a draw, which most college teams do not do well. On another 3rd down and long yardage play, they scored in a perfectly executed screen. They were a tremendous football team. We checked the game films to find that they did not substitute until after we did. On the last series of downs, most of their first string was still playing.
We were not as bad defensively  as the score indicates, but our blocking  was disappointing to say the least. We worked all week long against a 5-3 defense. Timberlane mixed us up with a 6 man line, and with 2 linebackers stacked in the middle. This is another case of inexperience hurting us.
This week we play Georgetown. They are a good team. Every game they have lost so far has been by only one touchdown or less. They almost beat Timberlane. Our boys are still determined to win that game. We had a good practice on Tuesday, even though we had only sixteen boys in uniform. The spirit is just terrific with these guys. They love the game, and are willing to take any punishment to achieve the honorable. Not one boy gave up against Timberlane.

Injury List: Roy Roberts may be out of the Georgetown game with a head injury. I went over to see him Saturday evening and I couldn't count the bruises. George Mayhew was taken to the hospital with a severe log bruise. He may not play Saturday. Mike Robie will be out for the rest of the year. Let's pray for no more. Lis Wilson was knocked dizzy at the end of the first half and came back to play a great game the second half.

Indian Items: Rich Wendell got an education from big number 73. He got clobbered. Rich is having trouble staying low, and he is therefore, being taken out on most plays. This is the way freshmen have to learn. The HARD way! Our freshmen were used on Saturday, and although their knees were shaking, they went in and did a good job. The courage of these kids is unbelievable. Broyer, Batchelder, Wendell, T. Clark, Alberts, And Langsigne are kids that you can trust and rely on. They are great boys.
Bobby Field will be going to an end position. Hal Dod to fullback, Lis Wilson to halfback, Martin will take the place of Roy Roberts if he can't play, and Buddy Hamel will go to a tackle slot. Again, another case of making the best of what we have.
If we get a victory this year, it will be due to the dedication of this squad. I have not heard from anybody, one derogatory remark. It seems as though everybody appreciates the effort. Now, let's see if we can scramble an offense together for Saturday.

Timberlane Belts Sanborn 32-0

Published New Hampshire Sunday News, Manchester Nov. 2, 1968

Kingston; Nov. 2 - Rick Caputo and Ron Brenton teamed up for two touchdowns apiece  as Timberlane thrashed a smaller Sanborn Football eleven, 32-0 here this afternoon.
Sanborn was shut out for four quarters, was unable to mount a scoring drive as a rugged Timberlane defense stymied the Kingston crew.
A steady Timberlane drive sparked by a 40 yard pass play from senior signal caller Don Hannigan to Don Pingree, resulted in the first score. Caputo, who was to score all 14 points in the first quarter, ran off -tackle for eight yards and a touchdown. He then hauled in a Hannigan pass and Timberlane led 8-0. Caputo's second score resulted from a Sanborn fumble deep in its own territory. Three plays later, Rick Scampered 20 yards for the score. A conversion pass from Hannigan fell incomplete.
A partially blocked punt in the second quarter set up Timberlanes third tally and Brenton's first. Recovering on Sanborns 20 yard line. Timberlane moved to the six before Brenton slipped off tackle for the touchdown. Lee McDonald gathered in a Hannigan pass for the conversion as the half ended.
The only points in the otherwise uneventful third quarter came when the Sanborn Quarterback was tackled in his end zone while attempting a pass. Timberlane added the two-point safety to its comfortable lead.
The victors sent in the reserves in the fourth and final stanza and after receiving a Sanborn Punt at mid-field, scored once more. Halfback Fred Miller ran 25 yards and then Brenton jaunted another 12 for the final touchdown. The big fullback then ran three yards for the conversion points and Timberlane capped a beautiful afternoon.
An open date comes up next weekend for Timberlane which hosts undefeated Ipswich, Mass., in two weeks.

The Owls from Timberlane Regional High School, Plaistow, NH. streaked to a 22-0 bulge in the opening half behind substitute Rick Caputo and crushed Sanborn Regional High School Saturday Afternoon, 32-0, in action at Kingston, NH.
It marked the fifth victory of the season for Timberlane against one loss and a tie. The Indians are still winless after four games.
Caputo, a wingback filling in for the injured Rich Robidoux, tallied two touchdowns in the first quarter on a 15 yard run and 23 yard scoring aerial from Quarterback Don Hannigan. Caputo added another two points on a Hannigan pass and picked up 46 yards rushing on seven carries for a 6.6 average.
He wasn't the only stickout for Timberlane as tailback Rob Brenton led all ball-carriers with 110 yards in 14 attempts for a 7.9 average. He also scored on a two yard plunge and rushed a conversion giving him 44 points so far this year.
Paul Timson handed the Owls another six-pointer on a seven yard sweep around the right end. A safety by Don Robinson and Hannigan to Lee MacDonald conversion toss rounded out the attack.
The Timberlane defense played an important role in the outcome as it held the Indians to 21 yards on the ground and 45 through the air. The losers were able to muster only 10 running plays before intermission for a minus 9 yards. Fullback Lis Wilson on the strength of a 30 yard third quarter led Sanborn in rushing with 26 yards on 13 carries.
The Owls unveiled their most productive offense this season as they accounted for 214 yards on the ground and 142 yards passing for a 356 total. Hannigan jelled on four of the five aerials in the first session alone for 88 yards and ended in the day with seven completions in 12 bids.
The big quarter was he first when Timberlane rolled off 121 yards offensively. Caputo opened the scoring with a 15 yard jaunt up the middle after the Owls recovered a punt a the Sanborn 18 yard line.
Sustained drive, Two minutes later, the Owls sustained an 87 yard drive which ended in nine players as Hannigan hurled a 23 yard bomb to Caputo in the end zone. The TD was highlighted by two Hannigan passes to end Don Pingree, the first going for 12 yards and the second for 45 yards.
The visitors padded their cushion with three minutes remaining in the half as Timson swept the right end from seven yards out to the cap a 58 yard march. His touchdown came after Caputo scored a third time on a two yard dive which was nullified by an off-side infraction.
Brenton gained 25 yards rushing on the drive while another 17 came on a Hannigan to Caputo pass.
The Indians still had difficulty moving the ball after the break and attempted a punt on their own 14. The boot went straight into the air before landing at the Sanborn 12 yard line giving the Owls another scoring opportunity.
A fumble on the ensuing play returned possession to Sanborn at the five and three downs later, Robinson caught the Sanborn ball carrier in the end zone for a safety.
The Owls concluded the rout in the final session when Brenton climaxed a 55 yard parade with a two yard plunge over left tackle. He also set up the score three plays earlier on a 31 yard dash down the right side. Caputo started the rally with a 19 yard sprint.
Sanborn found the Timberlane defense so tough that it failed to cross the mid-field stripe for three quarters. Its biggest penetration into opposing territory came at the end of the fourth quarter.
An 11 yard completion from Stevens to Wilson, coupled with a 15 yard penalty against the Owls, moved Sanborn to The Timberlane 40. Halfback Roy Roberts ripped off a nine yard gain only to see the Indians stopped on their final three tries.

"Played Terrific Game," Says Coach  Sanborn Falls, 18-6

Published American Herald  Oct. 19, 1968

"We played a terrific game and I hope we can win one before the season is over." That was Coach Pat Phaup's observation Saturday after his Sanborn Regional High School, Kingston,NH. team has lost to Lynn Trade, 18-6 at Kingston.
It was the second loss in a row for Sanborn in two games this season.

Curtis Caswell, Lynn's 185 pound fullback, was the player that the Indians could not stop as he scored all the winners points on runs of two, 10 and 8 yards. Roy Roberts gave Sanborn a temporary lead when he raced 80 yards for a touchdown with the opening kickoff on the rain covered gridiron. A kick for the extra points failed. Sanborn held Lynn eleven scoreless until late in the second quarter when Caswell went over from two yards out to climax an extended march.
Caswell put the winners in the lead to stay midway in the third quarter when he scored a touchdown from 10 yards away. He added another six points in the 4 quarter.
Sanborn had another threat in the fourth quarter when the Indians defense held the visitors on the Kingstons club 30. The offense went to work and marched 60 yards before losing the ball at the Lynn 10 yard line.
The loss of the two boys in the first half because of injuries hurt Sanborn. Mike Robie, a tackle and Buddy Hamel, and end, had to leave the game and the Indians ended the game with four freshmen in the lineup.
Phaup said, " It was truly a team effort with Roberts and Lis Wilson doing the bulk of the ball-carring. I'm really proud of them. They were in the game all the way."
Lynn Coach Jim Brown commented after the game, "Sanborn hit as hard as any opponent we're faced this season."

First down and ten to go on the Fall Mountain 35 yard line. First down and 25 to go on our own 25 yard line. That was the story of the first play of the game Saturday. We never could recover from the 4 penalties called in the first series of down. Our kids were as nervous as any football player can be. They wanted so much to do so well, that they tried too hard. We cannot look for excuses, however, next week is another game.
The scouting report says that Lynn Trade is tough, well polished football team. They have lost only one game this year, and that one to the best class B team in the state of Massachusetts. We need the support of all the people at Sanborn.
We promised you that win or lose we would try our best, and we certainly did. We were only able to substitute one boy, and Fall Mountain substituted 7 or 8. They were big. George Mayhew did a terrific job containing those huge blockers on his end. Our offense was terrific. A couple of mix-ups in blocking assingments hampered us.
The backfield was superb. Our defense had difficulty tackling their big fullback, who weighed in at 230lbs. Nine of our boys played the entire game, without any rest at all. We will try a new defense this week, and hope we can stop Lynn Trade. I know we can move against them. Roy Roberts, Lis Wilson and Bobby Field form as good a backfieldas there is around. Jimmy Stevens did a wonderful job as Quarterback in his first varsity game. Chuck Kaskiewicz is going to be a football player, we're proud of him in his first varsity test. Buddy Hamel made as many tackles as Hal Dod. There boys form two strong ends. Lis Wilson's kicks left nothing to be desired. We must work on coverage.
Injury Corner: We must keep our boys healthy, we don't have that many. Roberts, twisted ankle, Robie twisted ankle, Field brusied ankle, Buddy Hamel, too many injuries to mention. All Ok for Saturday, we hope. Bad Backs- Wayne St. Hilaire, Roy Roberts. Nervous breakdown, the coaches.
Football talk: Jimmy Stevens, George Mayhew, Tommy Mathis and Bobby Field bounced off the big man liek a tennis ball. Weight lifting and more milk this winter. Films will be shown Friday evening to parents and friends of the football team. At this time, the boys will be put in the hot seat. Mistakes are easily detected in films.
There is a pep rally on Thursday, and we need all the spirit we can get. These boys are playing on courage alone. As indicated last Saturday, if size were a factor we would have lost 30-0. Films show our boys being clobbered often. They also show good results from George Mayhew, Hal Dod, Chuck Kaskiewicz and Roy Roberts on defense. Our current backfield was outstanding on offense. Watch for Jimmy Stevens to throw more Saturday, He now has confidence. Mike Alberts will be a starter on defense--A freshman. That puts 1 freshman, 5 sophomores and 2 seniors on our starting lineup. The two inside linebackers will be juniors, our two outside linebackers will be a sophomore and a freshman.

Sanborn Loses Opener, 24-12

Published unknown Oct. 10,1968

"It was just a case of first game jitters. Our guys played well, but the penalities killed them."

That was the impression of Coach Pat Phaup as Sanborn Regional High School, Kingston,NH. dropped its football opener Saturday afternoon to Fall Mountain Regional, 24-12, at Langdon, NH.

The Indians amassed 300 yards on the ground compared to 202 for Fall Mountain, but saw two rallies killed by the clock. Sanborn reached the Fall Mountain 10 yard line as the half ended and penetrated beyond the Fall Mountain 20 before the game concluded.

"The boys were a little nervous," Coach Phaup said. "We  ran the opening kickoff 22 yards and got called back for clipping." The Wildcats scored in every quarter to post their first victory in the schools history. Stan Chaloux and Mike Aumand each had two touchdowns to spur the offense.

Chauloux got his first six-pointer on a four yard sweep which capped a 63-yard drive with five minutes gone in the opening quarter. He also ended the scoring by pulling in a 25-yard pass from quarterback Mike Brooks.
Aumand scored on a one-yard plunge which highlighted a 53-yard march and jaunted 22 yards into pay dirt in the third quarter. The Indians narrowed their deficit to 12-7 just before intermission when Lis Wilson intercepted a pass on the Sanborn 10 and returned it 90 yards for the score.

Buddy Hamel booted the conversion. Roy Roberts gave the Indians their final six pointer on a 28-yard run in the fourth quarter. Roberts paced Sanborn in rushing with 138 yards, followed by Wilson with 104 and Bob Fields with 74 yards.

The touchdown was set up on blocked punt which traveled only five yards from the line of scrimmage. The Indians took possession on the Fall Mountain 37 yard line and two plays later, Roberts went over.

Coach Phaup attributed the defeat to Fall Mountain's single-wing offense. "It's the first time our boys have seen it," he said. "Icouldn't get them to adjust soon enough. Maybe if we had scored the first touchdown, they would have been more confident."

The Sanborn Coach praised his assistant Al Walker, who called all the offensive plays. The Indians will play host to Lynn Trade Saturday.

Football Notes

Published  October ? 1968

The day is finally, FAST approaching. Saturday the squad makes the long trip to Alstead. Fall Mountain Regional is all the way across the state. With Autumn foliage, it should not be too bad a trip. If the boys can bring home a VICTORY, the trip will be quite short.
We have progressed a great deal from the day, 5 weeks ago, when 17 boys drew their uniforms. Some of the freshmen fell by the wayside. Credit is given to those 8 who stayed with it. Rich Wendell, Mark Stevens, Teddy Clark, Al Langsiegne and Chuck Batchelder are the freshmen linemen. Mike Alberts, Bobby Broyer, and 8th grader Brian Smith are the backfield men. It takes a geat deal of courage for a young boy to take the hard knocks from the varsity day after day. We all respect their courage.
Sanborn traveled to Execter Academy to play the Exeter "B" team tuesday. We played a game type scrimmange, and Sanborn won 6-0 on a 30 yard dash by Co-captain, Roy Roberts. Our boys, we hope, made most of their typical first game mistakes Tuesday.
Again, credit must be given to a bunch of boys who will compete and justle under the conditions our boys fac. Most of the schools we face are twice as big as us.
The starting Line-up Saturday will probably be Buddy Hamel and George Mayhew, ends;Chuck Kaskiewicz and Hal Dod, Tackles; Co-Captain Wayne St. Hilaire and Skippy Clark, Guards; Russ Case at Center; Roy Roberts, Lis Wilson, Bobby Field and Jimmy Stevens, the backfield; Mike Robie twisted his ankle at Exeter and may miss the first game. Mike is rapidly developing into a fine football player. With luck be will be with us.
We are blessed with two fine reserves halfbacks in Tommy Mathis and Bob Martin, Sophomores. Tommy Miller will back up at Center for Case. On a small team, many boys are asked to sacrifice for the good of the team. Three perfect examples on our team are Hal Dod, who moved from end to tackle; Bobby Field--A great quarterback last season-- who moved to halfback, and Skippy Clark, who made the move from halfback to guard. The coaches appreciate the selflessness.
Two other boys who have so far showed courage are: Fred Tidd, a boy who is making a great effort in his Junior year; and small Dan Coffey, a new boy who just loves the game.
What a terrific manager Dwight Simes has turned out to be. We couldn't get along without him. John Purchas is our Assistant manager.
We need prayers to avoid injuries, and we need the support of every student at Sanborn.
The films of the scrimmage at Exeter turned out to be perfect. Our thanks to the Booster Club for the gifts. Show your appreciation by selling and purchsing a Boosters Club Ticket. This will benefit all sports.
Indian Items! For the first time in his life Coach Phaups was outshouted by Coach Walker, who showed us much enthusiasm as the boys. This is a good to see. ---Steller attractions at the Deerfield fair recently, depleted the squad. Missing were two young lov--ah--er backs.....Russ Case was Widely noticed at a recent dance... The band sounds sharp; they should make the football games much more exciting....Thanks to Mr. Kelly for helping our Freshmen... The eight graders looked good for a half vs. Exeter... They are improving!

Sanborn Frosh Are Impressive

Published Haverhill Gazette, September 28, 1968

If the Indians from Sanborn Regional High School, Kingston, NH. have a successful football season this year, much of the credit should go to the 12 freshmen on the squad.
This Indians will open their campaign Oct. 12. Already several freshmen have looked good in workouts and will be given every opportunity to see varsity action.
"They're the spunkiest bunch of kids I've ever coached." Coach Pat Phaup said. "Age and size means nothing to them. They ar edetermined and nothing seems to hold them back."
The freshmen include Mike Albert, Brian Smith, Mike Taillon, Bob Broyer, Mark Stevens, Al Langeigne, Charlie Batchelder, Len Lemmon, Carl Georgee, Rich Wendell, Ted Clark and Bob Getchell.

Albert will be the second string Quarterback behind Bob Field and Smith will be the backup fullback behind Lis Wilson.
Coach Phaup had nothing but praise for his two promising backfield stars. "Albert has a terrific arm and can do just about everything." he said. "Most important, he's willing to listen and learn. Smith is extremenly fast and can help us on the ground."

Taillon is a substitute end who "will get better with seasoning" according to Coach Phaup.
Broyer was switched to halfback and is small but fast, while Stevens, a 160lb center, is "full of incentive and love to play."

Lanseigne will be the othe rend while Balchelder and Lemmon will be at the guard positions whenever needed.

George, a tackle, twisted his ankle during a workout, but should be ready for the opner. Wendell is the other tackle.

Clark is being tested in the backfield and Coach Phaup call him "A permanent player who is full of ambition."

Getchell is the smallest prospect on the squad. He stands four feet 11 inches and weighs 99 pounds, but will stick because of his desire according to Phaup.

The Sanborn coach will try to schedule a few junior varsity games to give his freshmen additional training. "I hope to get them three or four games." he said. "If not, they'll play with the varsity and in a couple of years, you'll really see something here in Kingston."

The Hornets from Manchester High School scored three touchdowns in the final quarter to snap a 6-6 deadlock and gain a 28-6 victory over Sanborn Regional High School, Kingston,NH. Saturday at Manchester.

The win enabled Manchester to crack a three game losing streak and capture top spot in the lower division of the Cape Ann league for the second consecutive year. Its overall slate read 6-3 while Sanborn ended the season with a 2-6 mark.

The triumph was especially gratifying for the Hornets who had five starts sidelined with injuries. They still managed 396 yards offensively while limiting the Indians to 121 yards.
Quarterback  Bob Koch led the assault with three touchdown aerials  while left halfback Richard Glass tallied 14 points and amassed 222 yards on the ground for a 12.3 yards per carry. Anther 45 yard scoring run was erased on a clipping penalty. Koch's passes accumulated 117 yards as he connected seven times in 17 attempts. Sanborn quarterback Russell Kelso, hampered by inexperience, found this range only twice in eight efforts for 12 yards.

Easy conquest, It appeared an easy conquest for the Hornets but only a fourth quarter surge enabled them to pull it out. The unseasoned Indians were ranked 30th in the New Hampshire scoring race with 24 points and even Manchester Coach Eddie Field felt his squad could win handily if it played its regular game. Manchester dominated the statistics in the first half with 135 yards rushing and 49 yards through the air, compared to a 103 total for the losers, but the scoreboard still read 6-6.

The Hornets scored the first time they received the kickoff. Glass registered 35 yards on three carries as Manchester moved the pigskin to the Sanborn 15. A 15-yard penalty pushed the Hornets back to the 30, but two plays later, Koch flipped a 26 yard aerial to Glass in the end zone. The Indians roared back with less then two minutes remaining in the half after Manchester was halted on the Sanborn 25, fullback Lis Wilson, a 165-pound freshman started, ran for 15 yards and added 12 more on a Kelso pass.

With the ball on the Manchester 48, left halfback Frank Dichiara, the clubs leading scorer with 18 points, sidestepped three on rushers and scampered around the left end for the equalizer. The second half saw Manchester pile up 212 yards offensively while Sanborn had 18. The Hornets broke the tie with two minutes gone in the fourth quarter. Glass continued his brilliant rushing with a 29-yard pickup and sophomore bill McDiamid took a lateral from Koch which went for 12 yards. On the ensuing play Koch uncorked a 45-yard scoring pass to right halfback Forrest Milnes. Glass bulled his way across for the two pointer and Manchester climbed ahead 14-6.

The Indians had little success in budging the ball after the kickoff and were forced into punting situation from their 40. The boot was grabbed at the Manchester 42 by Glass who sidestepped his way down the right sidelines into pay dirt. The scoring barrage ended at the seven minute mark when Glass jaunted 45 yards to the Sanborn 12 and Koch passed to right end Steve Wogan at the goal line. Right Tackle Robert Morse added the conversion on a tackle eligible pass play.

     Threat Came
Sanborn's only other threat came in the opening minutes of the second quarter after taking possession at midfield. DiChiara picked up seven yards and got an important first down on a fourth and inches situation. Wilson brought the pigskin to the Hornet 34 on three straight plunges but the Indians fell shy of another first when DiChiara was stopped at the line of scrimmage.  Misfortune struck the Hornets when a 15-yard clipping penalty wiped out another tally. After the Indians were restrained at the 34, Manchester fullback John Babcock collected 23 yards on two efforts and Glass capped the performance with a 45-yard dash around the left end for the score.

Lack of time averted another Manchester touchdown. With the Hornets on their own 45 and 30 seconds remaining in the half, Koch lobbed a 15-yard screen pass to right halfback Brian Heath. Glass extended the pursuit with a 22-yard gain and Koch followed with an eight-yard gallop up the middle as the clock ran out.

                                        Gridiron Griddle
Many chilly spectators, huddled in blankets, had their portable radios turned to the Notre Dame-Michigan State game. One jubilant attendant shouted out with glee when the spartans scored their first touchdown. An embarrassing moment for one of the officials when he hurled his marker to the ground and a dog ran away with it. The penalty was against Manchester. Sanborn coach Paul Drummy was the field mentor of the semi-pro Marlboro Shamrocks prior to his assignment at Kingston. Sanborn's chances for a winning season were aggravated when 13 veterans graduated.

Included in Sanborn's defeats are five shutouts. In eight contests the Indians have been outscored 185-30. Drummy will lose four seniors through graduation but is optimistic for a victorious campaign next year. "The players can't help but improve," he said, "even in defeat." Three members of the team weigh only 95 pounds and appear dwarfed by the other players.

Sanborn had lost five straight. The Timberlane Owls are winless in three starts competing in their first season of football. Indians quarterback Russell Kelso was responsible for both Sanborn touchdowns as the schools battled to a 0-0 deadlock at halftime.

Left halfback Frank DiChiara paced the drive on short rushing efforts and nabbed two passes from reserve quarterback Bob Macurdy which were good for 27 yards. The drive brought the ball to DiChiara, faked a punt and ran 30 yards for a crucial first down. Macurdy then unloaded a 24 yard strike to left end Bruce Melville who fell one-yard shy of the touchdown. Kelso replace d Macurdy and scored.

Indians coach Paul Drummy was pleased with the defense and singled out Ed Stempien, Bruce Baker, Roger Steer and Greg white for turning in strong efforts. He also praised Glen Miller center, Paul Brett right guard, Alvin Berry left tackle, and Alan Dunn right end, for their performance. Right halfback Roy Roberts and fullback Lis Wilson were lauded for picking up important yardage and several key first down.

Coach Drummy was impressed with the play turned in by the Owls and thinks the greenness will wear off with experience. He was highly impressed with right halfback larry St. Jean who, "did everything well and picked up the offense on several occasions."
