Chronicle 1956 Game 1 La Salle College High School Football: Chronicle 1956 Game 1, September 16, 1956: La Salle 32 – West Catholic 6 by Jack Ryan, Evening Bulletin La Salle Wins 17th in Row since 1954 By Beating West Catholic in Opener Offensively, La Salle High appears to have the football tools to make the job of dethroning them as Catholic League and city champions a tough assignment, but the Little Explorers could stand a bit of perking up on defense. This was obvious at times yesterday as coach John ‘Tex” Flannery enjoyed a successful debut at head coach when his La Salle eleven romped over West Catholic, 32-6, in the 1956 opener at 20th St. and Olney Av. It was the 17th straight win for La Salle since the middle of the 1954 season, but there is still a hard road ahead to another title. La Salle bounced West back on its heels in the first period when Hugh Sheridan took a handoff from Paul Aita, 15-year old, 150-pound quarterback on the split-T play, and ran 79 yards for a touchdown. After this long gainer, La Salle was never behind and Aita kept its attack functioning in high gear. Before the opening period ended, La Salle put over another score. This time Aita pitched 22 yards to Lou Greco, who snared the ball on the West 20 and raced unmolested the rest of the way. West came back with its best show of ball-carrying by marching 71 yards for its lone tally. With Tony Gargulli, Tom Hughes, bill Craig and Larry Signora leading the drive, the Burrs moved to the La Salle 3. Craig smacked over for the touchdown. La Salle Defense Battered During this march, coach Carmen Falcone, of West, a heady signal caller while at Penn, took advantage of the new substitution rule. He shuttled Gargulli and Hughes in and out of action with plays and the Burrs battered La Salle’s defense. A few minutes later Aita and Greco clicked again through the air lanes. This time, Greco caught a 25 yard heave from Aita and raced 22 more into the end zone. La Salle was back in scoring position a few minutes later when Clark Hodgson recovered a fumble on the West eight. It took La Salle two plays to score, with Sheridan grabbing a wide pitchout from Aita and running three yards to cross the wide line. On the last play before the first half ended, Signora tossed a pass to Vince Leonetti, who ran 58 yards to cross the La Salle goal line, but a clipping penalty nullified the score. West held La Salle in check through the third period, but the champs marched 33 yards in the fourth, after Harry Eustace recovered a fumble, Ed Dever did the scoring bit with a one yard plunge. A 24-yard pass play, Aita to Bob Smith, set the stage. Greco placekicked two extra points for La Salle, but missed two other attempts. by Les Ribler, Inquirer La Salle Wins 16th in Row As Loop Opens Halfback Hugh Sheridan burst off tackle for a 79-yard touchdown romp on La Salle High School’s first play from scrimmage yesterday and ignited the fuse as the Little Explorers began defense of their Catholic League football championship with an explosive 32-6 verdict over West. The triumph making John “Tex” Flannery’s head coaching debut a successful one, was La Salle’s 16th straight over a three- year span. 1 La Salle College High School Football: Chronicle 1956 West Off Balance West never could recover from Sheridan’s dazzling run, although the Burrs did cross La Salle’s goal line. The Little Explorers were un-scored upon in their last eight 1955 encounters and had not been scored upon since West accomplished the feat in last season’s league opener. Sheridan, a 5’-8” sparkplug, and Lou Greco, a husky 170-pounder, flanking Sheridan at halfback, each scored a pair of touchdowns to lead the rout. Greco grabbed two touchdown passes from quarterback Paul Aita, 15-year old junior, and alto tabbed two extra points. West Ends: Mylotte, Scully, Donovan. Tackles: McGuigan, Costigan, Leonard, Dougherty. Guards: Johnson, Anderson, Friel, George, Cunningham. Center: Ricapito. Backs: Signora, Leonetti, Merenda, Gargullo, Hughes, W.

Craig (3 plunge) La Salle Scoring: Touchdowns – Sheridan 2 (79, 2 runs); Greco 2 (22-yard pass from Aita, 20 run; 25- yard pass from Aita, 22 run); Dever (1, plunge). PAT – Greco 2 (placements). Game 2, September 23, 1956: La Salle 21 – Roman Catholic 14 by Jack Ryan, Evening Bulletin La Salle Rallies To Beat Roman Eleven La Salle High School is still rolling along like champions in the Catholic League, but needed a fourth- period rally to hang up its 18th straight football victory yesterday, the second in a row in the current campaign. The 1955 kingpins cut loose with the same sort of “savvy” that carried them to their first title in 35 years last season. They jammed over three touchdowns, all by Lou Greco, in the final session to overcome a 14-0 deficit and beat Roman Catholic, 21-14, before a packed field at 29th and Clearfield Sts. Roman Takes Lead It was all Roman Catholic through the first three periods and coach Joe “Goldie” Graham’s boys racked up touchdowns in the second and third periods to gain a comfortable lead. 2 La Salle College High School Football: Chronicle 1956 Lou Pannella gave a slick ball-carrying exhibition on the first touchdown drive that covered 46 yards and finally banged over from the one. Lou set the stage for his score with an 18-yard run. Jim Higgins kicked the extra point. Roman moved 60 yards for the second TD. Pannella was joined by Art Williams and Ed Annan in this assault. Williams accounted for the second touchdown when he broke loose on the 20 and raced over the wide line. Higgins again converted. Roman looked like a sure shot, but the charges of coach John “Tex” Flannery never gave up and literally exploded for touchdowns in the fourth period. Flannery threw the offensive book at Roman and his 15-year old midget quarterback, Paul Aita, sidelined with an injury in the first period, was the spearhead of an aerial attack that helped carry La Salle to victory. 41 Yards on Four Plays Aita hit Greco with a 22-yard toss and the latter raced ten yards into the end zone. Greco kicked the point. Later, another Aita to Greco pass clicked for 18 yards. This time Greco sped six yards to cross the goal line. With four minutes to play, Lou DiMaria recovered a fumble on the Roman 35. Ed Dever and John Herrera, the latter running 18 yards, carried the ball to the eight. Then Greco sped around end for his third touchdown and booted his third straight extra point to account for all of La Salle’s tallies. by Bill Shefski, Daily News La Salle Wins On Gridiron Defending champion La Salle had to call on their “second wind” yesterday. They needed that little extra punch, which is found in winning elevens, to win Catholic League battles. La Salle’s 150-pound package of dynamite, Lou Greco, was responsible for a come-from-behind 21-14 victory over Roman. John “Tex” Flannery has done a fantastic job with La Salle, which now paces the circuit with a 2-0 record. Flannery had to rebuild anew after the entire La Salle 1955 city championship eleven graduated. The Little Explorers squeaked through to their 18th consecutive grid victory – 12th straight in the league. Roman held a 14-0 margin on touchdowns by Lou Pannella and Art Williams and two extra point by Jim Higgins going into the last period. Flannery’s “mighty mite” Greco exploded for three touchdowns and three extra points to pull La Salle through victorious. Greco, who now has five TD’s and six extra points in two games, caught two six-point passes from Paul Aita and ran seven yards for another marker. He hooked up with Aita on 20 and 18-yard aerial scored to climax 40 and 45-yard drives. by Les Ribler, Inquirer La Salle Scores 21 in 4th, Wins, 21-14 After just two weeks of play in the now nine-team Catholic High School Football League, the list of unbeatens dwindled to three as defending league and city champion La Salle (2-0) administered the initial defeat to Roman (1-1). La Salle overcame a 14-point deficit with a devastating 21-point fourth quarter to down the stubborn Cahillites, 21-14, for consecutive victory No. 17. 3 La Salle College High School Football: Chronicle 1956 Aita, Greco Star Junior quarterback Paul Aita and halfback Lou Greco, a 160-poind speedster, combined to lift La Salle from the brink of defeat. Greco scored all 21 points, giving him 35 in two games. Twice he scored on passes from Aita, who missed most of the first half after being shaken up early. The clincher stemmed from a Roman fumble on the kickoff following La Salle’s second touchdown, an 18-yard pass, Aita to Greco in the end zone. Lou DiMaria recovered for the Little Explorers on the Cahillites’ 35 and four plays later Greco slashed off right tackle eight yards for the deciding TD.

  • Conversations About Defense
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 5, No. 4 (1983) CONVERSATIONS ABOUT DEFENSE by Stan Grosshandler It is difficult to realize that until relatively recent times the defense received small recognition. In truth, they probably did not deserve any for they were stereotyped, showing little imagination. As the two platoon system began to establish itself and coaches showed more innovation defensively, we began to hear of the "Umbrella Defense," the "Eagle Defense," and in the next decade such names of aggrandizement as "The Doomsday Defense," "The Purple People Eaters," and "The Violent World of Sam Huff." Stars of the 1930's and 1940's will tell you there was little stress put on defense. It was something you had to do until you got the ball back. Joe Kopcha, all-pro Bear guard in the '30s, described how he and his teammates would often lean on the men opposite them when the play went the other way. The object of the game was to go the entire 60 minutes and you wanted to conserve your strength for the offense. The word "pursuit" was rarely used. The great Packer guard, Buckets Goldenberg, brought out three interesting points: "Lambeau paid little attention to the defense," he said. "He felt we could always outscore the other team. I always felt that if we played the Little Sisters of the Poor they would probably have scored a couple of times." He also pointed out that when Larry Craig, the blocking back from South Carolina, joined the Packers, he was placed at defensive end and Hutson was moved to defensive halfback where he became quite good.

  • Axiomatic Design of a Football Play-Calling Strategy
    Axiomatic Design of a Football Play-Calling Strategy A Major Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering by _____________________________________________________________ Liam Koenen _____________________________________________________________ Camden Lariviere April 28th, 2016 Approved By: Prof. Christopher A. Brown, Advisor _____________________________________________________________ 1 Abstract The purpose of this MQP was to design an effective play-calling strategy for a football game. An Axiomatic Design approach was used to establish a list of functional requirements and corresponding design parameters and functional metrics. The two axioms to maintain independence and minimize information content were used to generate a final design in the form of a football play card. The primary focus was to develop a successful play-calling strategy that could be consistently repeatable by any user, while also being adaptable over time. Testing of the design solution was conducted using a statistical-based computer simulator. 2 Acknowledgements We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the following people, as they were influential in the successful completion of our project. We would like to thank Professor Christopher A. Brown for his advice and guidance throughout the yearlong project and Richard Henley for sharing his intellect and thought process about Axiomatic Design and the role

If the exact rule is not known at that time try to find the answer in a timely manner and if a solution is not reached resolve the dispute by a die roll and continue play.

  • Rule Blocking G.O.T
    Rule Blocking G.O.T. We use a two-stage system for blocking our plays that is very simple, logical and very effective. Our single system complies with all of our running plays except our Draw play, which is designed to mimic our pass blocking. Our running plays are based on a point of attack (Attacking weak spots in the defense). The fact that our rule progression works for all running plays our linemen basically repeats the same progression every day in practice. We feel that this repeated work allows our blockers to become very comfortable and very aggressive. Our system also demands communication and teamwork among the blockers and the running backs. This promotes our theory of a team-oriented offense. (Stage 1) Our running plays being based on a point of attack and not the gaps, we know we are running the football at a particular lineman. We call this lineman the “@ MAN” the lineman we are running at. G.O.T. All blocker on the play side, especially the “@ MAN”, will block using the use G.O.T progression. Which is: – G = Gap, the first step in the progression is to look to your inside gap, if there is a threat you stop looking and block him. – O = ON, If there is no threat to your inside gap you then look to see if there is a defender on you, (between your inside foot and your outside partners inside foot), if there is a threat you stop looking and block him. – T. = Track, If no one is threatening your inside gap nor is there anyone on you, you step inside with your first step and check for new threats if not then you track to the linebacker level.

  • How to Play Apba Football
    HOW TO PLAY THE APBA COMPUTER FOOTBALL GAME Tips and Tricks by Scott Griffin EDITORS NOTE, January, 2008 : I wrote this "How To" article back in 1996, but at least as of this posting, it is still relevant to anyone playing the game. I believe the last versions were 8 for the DOS Game, and 2 for the Windows Game... By the way, for those interested in such things, the DOS Version 8 Game is actually more advanced as far as the game engine is concerned. The Windows 2.0 EXE was never updated past what was in the DOS Version 7 EXE. Scott Griffin, commissioner of the Super Football League (SFL) robot coach creator and the "card" & editor for the APBA Game Company. This information is being passed along via the Internet for "informational purposes" only. SELECTION MENU: Set Paths Configuration: In there, #1 is obvious in that you set the path to where your Data Disk is located (i.e. C:\APBA\1995). However, for Box Scores, Stats, and Script Files, the manual suggests to keep separate directories. In my humble opinion, it is easier to save them all in one directory (i.e. BOXSCORE). For me, this makes finding the files simpler and faster. GAME CONFIGURATION MENU: From the top : *Home Field Advantage: Adds three points to all Offensive and Defensive units for the home team.
