As far as the old Guard is concerned it marked the first time in' history that English lost every game in a season. Latin had a total offense of 348 yards to English's 86. The Latin defense, a very alert unit which intercepted four passes and recovered three fumbles, recorded its fifth shutout.

Finley, voted the game's outstanding player, was one of many Purple standouts. Others who joined him in the scoring column were Fran Cronin, Pete McHugh, Bob O'Mara and John Casey. Before the game Latin cheerleaders displayed a Latin took advantage of English errors and converted three mistakes (two interceptions and a fumbla recovery) into fourth period scores. Latin coach Howie Smith said, "I never expected such a high scoring game. Everything went our way.

All our guys were great Finley? He's great and he'll be even better in college. He's just starting to learn how to run over people. And as far as our defense goes I think it was superb."

By Bob Monahan Globe Staff Norm Finley, a super-looking back with power, speed and skill, gained 178 yards in 22 carries and scored twice yesterday while Boston Latin destroyed Boston English, 40-0, before 8000 at Harvard Stadium. It was the 83d meeting between the schools in the oldest sustained public school rivalry. The record now reads 36 wins for Latin, 34 for English and 13 ties. The contest if you could call it that produced a pair of records.

The second time Latin got the ball it streaked 53 yards in three plays. Finley carried twice for 18 yards.

Then quarterback McHugh, co-captain and class president, tossed a strike to Cronin on the 10 and the big end lugged in home. Paul Nicholas made it 7-0 with his conversion. Latin hit again in the first period. It took possession on the English 43. Finley was fed four times and on the last carry he scooted 30 yards around left end to make it 13-0.

He ran hard and often with neat moves and notched his second score from the one. That made.it 19-0.
