Purple Patcher 1958 Sports by William A. Merritt 162 DEDICATION TO PETER J. HOUSTON The Class of 1958 is truly proud of the record of its athletes who have distinguished themselves by their ability and sportsmanship wherever in the country they have played. But especially are we proud of Peter J. Houston whose greatest battle was fought away from the hardwood floor and without the aid of his teammates. Silently and alone, Pete Houston fought and won, and the courage which he displayed shall always be an inspiration to the athletes and students of Holy Cross. In gratitude then, as well as in admiration, we dedicate this record of Sports to Pete Houston. We hail his ability and his sportsmanship. But most of all we pay tribute to his courage; the courage which led him to victory.

It was the first gridiron clash between the two schools and Crusader over-opti- mism was quickly dispelled as the Keydets opened up an early 7-0 lead. The Purple went to work and evened the count as Tommy Greene pitched to Berardino in the end zone to cap a 62 yard drive. Then, with just ten seconds remaining in the opening half, Ed Hayes plunged over from a yard out to send the Cross to the dressing room with a 14-7 lead. After VMI had bounced back to tie at 14-14, Stagnone bulled his way over from eight yards Berardino . from Greene ... six points. away, making it 21-14.

MARQUETTE HC26 MAROUETTE 7 The Crusaders journeyed West the following weekend to meet Marquette at Milwaukee. Tommy Greene put on a sparkling exhibition, throwing for three touchdowns and running for another as the Purple chalked up a relatively easy 26-7 triumph. The Cross opened the scoring late in the first period on a Greene to Toland aerial covering 24 yards. The Crusaders scored again the next time they gained possession; this time it was Berardino who snared a Greene pitch for a 52 yard scoring play. The same combination accounted for the third Purple score on the last play of the first half after Berardino had raced 45 yards with an interception to set the stage. After a scoreless third period, the Crusaders tacked on their final tally as Greene dove over to climax a long drive. Marquette's lone score came late in the game on a one yard plunge. (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL) John Frietas and the amazing Marquette forward wall. 168 A Homecoming crowd of 19,000 sat through an intermittent drizzle to watch a strong Dartmouth team nip the Crusaders, 14-7, with just over two minutes left. It was a hard-hitting game and one made interesting by the frequency and suddenness with which the ball changed hands. Holy Cross scored early in the second quarter. Al Turrin pounced on a Dartmouth fumble on the Green 25. A pass to Berardino gained eleven and, after some classy running by Hayes and Toland, Greene plunged for the score. After a bitterly contested third period, Dartmouth struck back to tie with startling rapidity. Moss lugged a Bradley pass 55 yards to the Purple three; Bradley sneaked over and it was 7-7.

BOSTON UNIVERSITY HC 28 Bl 35 It was a flu-ridden and injury-plagued Crusader eleven which journeyed up the pike the following Saturday to take on B.U. The Purple found itself in a 15-0 hole before the first quarter was over and, although they battled back to a 21-21 tie, couldn't quite pull the game out. Holy Cross didn't score until early in the second period when Greene hit Berardino in the end zone to narrow the gap to 15-7. B.U. came right back as speedster Johnny Maio sparked a seventy yard march. Maio's third touchdown of the afternoon made it 21-7. Tommy Greene, who was now na- tionally recognized as a great passer, hit Pacunas Ken Hohl, sidelined much of the year by injuries, slips in the end zone as the half ended. The score stood through the B.U. line to knot the score at 21-21. at 21-14. Early in the fourth quarter the Crusaders evened the score on a plunge off tackle by Ken Hohl. But Hohl again; this time around the B.U. end. as Greene kicked to B.U., Paul Cancro gathered his blockers and returned the kick ninety-five yards for a touchdown. Minutes later, Maio scored his fourth touchdown and B.U. was beyond reach. The unstoppable Tommy Greene fired another Holy Cross touchdown to Dave Stecchi in the closing seconds of a 35-28 win for B.U. Esposito reaches for a Komodzinski pass. Jack Ringle takes the Beach-head. The outlook was bleak the following weekend as a favored Quantico team, loaded, as usual, with former college greats, invaded Worcester. The Cru- saders, however, were back at full strength again and stunned the Marines, 33-14. Greene had an- other tremendous day, passing for three touchdowns and punting and defending brilliantly. The Purple opened the scoring the first time they got the ball as Greene hit Stecchi with a 21 yard pass. Another Greene aerial found Pacunas in the end zone late in the first quarter and the Crusaders led, 13-0. After the Marines had cut this lead to 13-7, the Purple opened up and outclassed their opponents, scoring three times in the second half to wrap things up. Jack Ringel, a sparkling halfback all afternoon, accounted for two of these scores and Toland counted the third on a pass from Komod- zinski. * >*' %M The Crusader forward wall, below par for the previous two weeks, lived up to expectations against the Marines. Especially outstanding on offense as well as defense were Stecchi, Pacunas, Promuto, and the Turrin brothers. QUANTICO HC 33 QUANTICO 14 Stagnone, Surrette, and Turrin get themselves a Marine. *. The HARDER they are, the HARDER they fall. and later found Charlie Pacunas. SYRACUSE HC 20 SYRACUSE 19 The following weekend found the Crusaders on the road facing a powerful and favored Syracuse eleven. It had been eight years since the Cross had beaten the Orange and this year was expected to be no exception to the jinx. However, the Purple provided one of the big upsets of the season as they shocked the Orange- men, 20-19, in a thriller. The Purple won this one the hard way. They had Syracuse powered into the lead . led since late in the first quarter when Greene dove over to climax a 35 yard drive. Syracuse made it 7-6 but then Greene went over for the win, and was mobbed by the fans with a second period touchdown. The Cross widened their lead to 14-6 when, early in the third quarter, Fred Turrin fell on a Syracuse fumble in the end zone. ***** Syracuse moved into contention again in the third period and then seemingly wrapped up the game as they went ahead for the first time, 19-14, with just over three minutes remaining. Here the Crusaders provided a Merriwell finish as they stormed 80 yards on the wings of Greene's passes with Tommy going the final 5 on a roll-out. Penn State brought a powerful aggregation to town and the Crusaders came within six inches of springing their third upset in as many weeks. The first period of the struggle was played on even terms, ending without a score. The Purple got a break at the start of the second quarter when a State pass from center went through the end zone for a safety.

  • Blondy Wallace and the Biggest Football Scandal Ever
    1984 PFRA Annual No. 5 BLONDY WALLACE AND THE BIGGEST FOOTBALL SCANDAL EVER By Bob Braunwart and Bob Carroll In 1906, the fierce rivalry between the Canton and Massillon pro football teams took a nasty turn toward the unsavory. Most of the nastiness that sometimes showed through in 1905 came from fans goaded by newspaper hyperbole. Incendiary phases like "hated foe" and "bitter enemy" lit up sports pages and ignited fiery oaths on street corners, but managers George Williams of Canton and J.J. Wise of Massillon conducted their clubs with the ethics typical of American businesses at the time. There might be surprise signings of stars such as Michigan's Willie Heston and tricky contract negotiations like Canton's "exclusive" with Carlisle, but ultimately there were real limits to how far either side might go to humble and humiliate the other. It was all right to hit below the belt, but no brass knuckles please. But before the 1906 season ended, all restraints disappeared. Each side stood accused by the other of unfair and illegal practices. There were charges of darker, more dastardly deeds by individuals on both sides. Each club swore never to play the other again. And each was likely to follow through on the threat because both were out of the football business. For Ohio professional football in general and for Massillon and Canton in particular, 1906 was a season of unprecedented disaster. * * * To many Canton minds, the first shot fired in all- out war came a few days after the Massillon Tigers defeated the Canton team for the 1905 state championship.

  • 1905: Challenge from Canton
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 8, No. 4 (1986) 1905: CHALLENGE FROM CANTON By Bob Braunwart & Bob Carroll Enough was enough! After two years of watching the Massillon Tigers strut proudly to the Ohio Independent Football Championship – the World Professional Title to all intents and purposes – Canton could take no more. 1905, they vowed, would be different. The 1903 Massillon victory over the local heroes didn't really count anyway, according to diehard Canton fans. The Canton team had taken Massillon's Tigers too lightly and been ambushed. 1904 shouldn't be counted either. Massillon had gone out and hired all those Pittsburgh pros while Canton fielded no major team at all. A bunch called the "Shamrocks" claimed the Canton city championship on a late November win over the "Imperials." Although one Shammrock – Norman "Dutch" Speck – was to be a fixture on Canton gridirons for years and even play on the Bulldog NFL title-winners of the 1920s, both squads were made up mostly of local pass-the-hat-and-divvy-up semi-pros. They were several cuts below such imported Massillon luminaries as Bob Shiring, the 250-pound center, Herman Kerchoffe, a 6-5 guard compared favorably with the immortal Heffelfinger, and Doc McChesney, the big-play tackle-end. Even Dan "Bullet" Riley, possibly the best native Canton player of the time, performed not for his hometown but for the hated Tigers, and no doubt he was being paid very well for his treason. Through much of the '04 season the Canton press contented itself with snide remarks about the professionals to the west, but football leaders knew better than to issue a challenge to the Tigers.

    Ovid Nicholson “Where Have You Gone Ovid” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com Ovid Nicholson begins his professional baseball career in 1910 after seeing a newspaper ad for tryouts with the Great Bend Millers of the Kansas State (D) League. Two years later, the 23-year-old Salem, Indiana native gains national recognition when he sets a minor league single-season record stealing 111 bases, scoring 128 runs in 117 games and hitting .313 with the Frankfort Statesmen in the Blue Grass (D) League. The fleet-footed Nicholson parlays his base-stealing talents into a late-season call-up by the National League’s Pittsburgh Pirates. On September 18, 1912, the Pirates are 30 games above .500 (84-54), but 11 1/2 games behind John McGraw’s first-place Giants when Pittsburgh manager Fred Clarke gives Nicholson his first major league start in the second game of a double- header against the last-place Boston Braves.
