Spring Football Drills End
Saturday With Game
Spring football practice
concludes Saturday, Apr.
27, with the annual intra-
squad game on the Saucon
Valley Fields at 10 a.m.
Following the contest
there will be a reception for
the squad in Rathbone
Hall, adjacent to Taylor
Stadium, with alumni,
parents and 'guests
welcome to attend.
Coach Fred Dunlap has
expressed satisfaction in
progress made during the
spring drills despite foul
weather conditions which
necessitated some
schedule changes.
Two significant lineup
changes, of an experimental nature, were
tried. Gene Borgosz moved
from offensive tackle to
center and Bob Von Bergen
went from defensive end to
outside linebacker.
Joe Alleva and Joe
Sterrett waged a spirited
battle for the quarterback
spot vacated by Kim
McQuilken and this duel is
expected to continue into
the regular season. Both
were impressive.
Rod Gardner, last
season's ECAC Div. 2
Rookie of the Year, ran
very well in the tailback
role and Jim Gallagher
operated successfully at
fullback as a replacement
for senior Bob Stewart.
Dunlap was especially
pleased with his wide
receiver corps led by Bob
Handschue, Glenn Willard
and Bobby Liptak. He also
had words of praise for
rebuilt deep secondary and
linebacker positions.
