However, we hub never quit and their comeback is not only a great tribute to them but also their coaches Now that they have attained the .500 mark, you might feel and rightfully so that the Blue and White gridders deserve a break. But nothing of that sort awaits them.

No later than Saturday, the Ownb City aggregation must board a bus and head for Brockton to langle with the always-formidable Boxers of the Shoe City. It doesn't seem fair, but don't feel sorry for them for they are mighty happy to have a chance to crash their way into the winning ranks. A super effort will be necessary to conquer the Boxers and that's Just what the LHS coaching staff is counting on. The Devils have not put everything together as yet this fall and this could well be the time that both the offense and the defense jell. Although the Devils have not been burning out the lights on the scoreboard; their running attack has shown marked improvement In recent starts with senior halfback George Shade leading the way by averaging 100 yards in the last three games after being sidelined with a leg injury.

Coming into his own last Friday at Manchester in only his third rtart at fullback was former wingman Steve Lattanzio, who just missed cracking the century figure with 90 net rushing yards. The Devils' aerial game still leaves considerable room for improvement. Against Memorial, junior quarterback Doug O'Donnell, who had difficulty with his footing on the muddy Gill Stadium tuff completed one out of four pitches for sbt yards. The previous week, the Blue and White flashed the shotgun formation, and we are sure that the "brain trust" has something in store for Brockton. Defensively, the Comb City eladlators have come BJF.
