Episcopal's backfield was excep- tionally strong, having Bridges, Dan- fel and Moncure, three men who kicked, passed and ran with the ball equally ~ well, and Woodward, a heady defensive back. Moncure, who played defensive end and offensive halfback, was the best ground gainer on the team. He scored In every game, accounting for seventeen of Episcopal's touchdowns. Dantel, the big 200-pound plunging fullback, seldom was stopped with- out a gain. His ability to make con- sistent gaing on line plays was a large factor in his team's success. George Taylor, at center, was the braina of the defense. His knack of sizing up plays enabled him to stop P! after play without a gain by his opponent: Unbeaten in Two Years. These men and a line that could be counted on to deliver the goods in every moment of play are respon- sible for the following record of un- broken victories. EPISCOPAL—19232.

The Colonial alleys were packed Friday night to see the home team trim the King Pins. All three of the games were hard fought and finishes very close.
