1. Quarterback Jeff Norman takes time out from a pre-game brunch to review a few play-cards with Coach John Gagliardi. 2. Injuries plagued the Johnnies throughout the playoffs. One questionable starter (and one of the Stagg Bowl stars) was senior captain Joe Wentzel. Here he is being taped for the game by trainer Fred Mitzel. 3. Dr. Wittl'Ock examines the ailing knee of halfback Jim Roeder. Roeder's knee forced him to miss practice the enUre week of the bowl game but, like several of his teammates, he "forgot" he was disabled for the duration of the game. 4. ABC color commentator Duffy Daugherty joined Coach Gagliardi on the sidelines for .a chat during the Jay's pre-game warmup. 5. A few of the approximately 200 St. John's fans who found their way to Phenix City for the game. The fourth row includes, from left, Fr. Roger Botz, Fr. Aidan McCall, Fr. Abbot John 3 4 Eidenschink and President Michael Blecker. Behind Fr. Abbot is Fr. Don Tolafous. 6. Terry Sexton, a senior captain, was forced by a 9 10 knee injury to watch the game from the sidelines. Terry, son of Jim Sexton '55, was Coach Gagliardi's first second generation player. 7. The scene is set for the winning field goal (ball visible on ground), booted by Jeff Norman with three seconds remaining in the game. 8. The team celebrated the 31-28 victory with a uniformed dunk in the chilly motel pool. 9. Tim Schmitz who rolled up 150 yards rushing and ran the Towson defense ragged. 10. The team returned to the motel following the game as a Holiday Inn staffer was hanging the final letters of a congratulatory message. 11. St. Paul Pioneer Press sportswriter Mike Augustin '62 (left) met the returning Jays at the Twin Cities airport and played a tape of the final seconds of the game as broadcast by ABC. Listening in are Coach Gagliardi, Dick Schmitz '50 (Tim's father) and Jim Roeder, whose spectacular run to the Towson one-yard line made the final seconds worth listening to again. 5 6 11 ---.-....~.",.,..,.--=~------
