THE KABLEGRAM Season Summary Cridmen Have 54 Season Take Second Place In League by Donald Gallagher SMA, playing without the u>ual size and weight of past teams, compiled a season average of 5-4, thus capturing second place in the Virginia State Military League. The season opener with E. C. Glass found the Hilltoppers bowing to a more experienced team 26-7. The game featured the rugged line play of both teams led by SMA's Dick Shimrak, John Sheehy, and DeNyse. The "Hilltoppers" ground gain was led by Barry Steadham who scored the only touchdown for SMA. On October 1, SMA lost its home opener by a score of 35-0 to St. Francis Prep. Against St. Francis the team showed a marked lack of spirit, hustle, and drive. This also hampered the "Hilltoppers" throughout the season. The following Friday, Coaches Whitley and Steinberg and the team rolled up their victory against Fishburne Military Academy 19-0. With Panella opening the holes and Steadham running, and Matesic's passes to Malogrides and DeNyse, SMA landed inside the Fishburne twenty six times, but scored only three. The defensive unit, led by Jim Vizethann and Al VanNess, bottled up the Fishburne attack all afternoon. On October 14, SMA evened their record at 2-2 with an upset vic- tory over the Washington and Lee J.V.'s 7-6. This was the hardest fought game of the year. Again the defensive unit headed by Van Ness, Hecht, and Captain Vizethann, coupled with the booming punts of John Bensch, kept the W & L Generals out of scoring position all afternoon. SMA's lone tally came with a 30 yard pass play from Maj. Pandak, athletic director, congratulates Track Coach Schutte and track star Mann on championship win. Matesic to DeNyse.
