For hundreds of millions of Americans, and for people around the world, 2020 was, sadly, a year like no other.

People were asked to make significant behaviorial changes, act cautiously, sacrifice, and quickly adjust to changing circumstances. Limited practices, adjusted training regimens, socially-distanced instruction, a delayed season, cancelled games: Calvert Hall football experienced the turmoil related to the pandemic first-hand.

The Calvert Hall football community should remain incredibly proud of its effort to get the Cardinals back on the gridiron this fall.

The young men who have coached and played at Calvert Hall over the last century are incredible representives of the Cardinal & Gold. This was never more true than in 2020. This media guide is dedicated to these coaches and players, especially this year’s senior class.

Calvert Hall College (also known as “CHC” or “The Hall” to its students, alumni and friends) is recognized throughout the state, the region and the country for its Catholic and Lasallian tradition, its stellar academic reputation, its excellence in athletics and extracurricular activities, and the success of its alumni. The largest all-male prep school in the state, Calvert Hall has a rich history, dating back 175 years. CHC has been twice named an “Exemplary School” by the U.S. Department of Education. This year, Calvert Hall College has been recognized as “Best Private High School” by The Baltimore Sun, The Daily Record Reader Rankings, and Baltimore Style.

After more than a century downtown, the school relocated to its current location on a 32-acre campus in Towson in the fall of 1960. Keelty Hall was originally the only academic building on the new campus. Succeeding decades witnessed the construction of the Activities & Pool Building (now named Carlo Crispino Center), the Marion Burk Knott Center for the Performing Arts, Kelly Field at Paul Angelo Russo Stadium, Carlo Crispino Stadium/McManus Baseball Field, and George Yo u n g Hall. Over the last decade, there has been significant renovations and upgrades to Keelty Hall, including construction of Noppinger Commons, renovations of the chapel and administrative offices, the addition of new science labs, build-out of the Cardinal Shop (formerly the bookstore), and a thorough redesign of the campus dining hall.

Calvert Hall was the first permanent academic institution of the De La Salle Christian Brothers in the United States. The mission of St. John Baptist de La Salle calls for a school where academic prowess thrives, where young men are involved in their community, and where a brotherhood is created that will last a lifetime. Calvert Hall is accredited by the Maryland State Department of Education and the Middle States Association of Secondary Schools. Calvert Hall is also affiliated with the Christian Brothers Conference and the Archdiocese of Baltimore.

SEASON REVIEW - 2019

The 2019 Cardinals began the 100th season of Calvert Hall football looking back at a historically successful 2018 season, while looking forward to a centennial season led by an experienced core of seniors.

In 2018, Calvert Hall set a record for most victories in program history, finishing 12-1 and ranked #2 in the final Metro poll of the season. However, the 2018 Cardinals lost four All-MIAA players to graduation, including three of the area’s best players on defense.

However, in the MIAA opener, Mount Saint Joseph, who gave the Cardinals their only loss in ’18, again had CHC’s number, winning 20-10 in front of one of the largest crowds in Russo Stadium history. After falling the following week at McDonogh, Calvert Hall rolled off four straight wins, including two triumphs against MIAA rivals, to improve the overall record to 8-2, heading into the “A” Conference playoffs.

45 STADIUM

Kelly Field at Paul Angelo Russo Stadium In September 1999, Calvert Hall College dedicated the Paul Angelo Russo Stadium, a track and athletic stadium made possible with a significant financial contribution from Mr. Paul Angelo Russo, whose son Andrew was an alumnus from the Class of ’62.

Russo Stadium was the centerpiece of a campus redevelopment project, spearheaded by then- president Brother Kevin Strong. The move of the football/soccer/lacrosse field from LaSalle Road to the intersection of Goucher and Putty Hill, and with it, the construction of a 3,000 seat stadium, was a transformative decision for the school and the athletic department at the dawn of the 21st Century.

In 2008, the playing field was dedicated and named Kelly Field in honor of the the contribution to Calvert Hall from long-time benefactors, the Honorable Francis X. & Janet Kelly and their family (Frank ’82, John ’83, David ’85, Bryan ’87).

With seating for 3,000 fans, the stadium is one of the largest high school facilities in the state. The grandstand contains within its structure three locker rooms with showers, the athletic training room, and coaches’ offices. A large press box sits atop the grandstand and a concession stand serves spectators at the north end of the complex. Lights were permanently added to allow for night games in 2011. A six-lane track encircles the game field. Three years ago, the field was resurfaced with the latest premium artificial turf technology.

Performance Center & Weight Room The performance center and weight room, located in the Crispino Center, features Hammer Strength weight racks, kettle bells, dumbbells, agility plyometric boxes and ample room for multiple agility ladder use.

This modern and top-of-the-line facility rivals the performance and weight rooms of any MIAA school.

Members of the football program and other Calvert Hall athletic teams have benefitted considerably from the ability to utilize this center throughout the school year and in the summer for off-season conditioning.

Practice Fields In 2018, Calvert Hall completed a new 142,000 square foot outdoor complex featuring two full playing fields.

These new artificial turf fields were constructed in between the Russo Stadium parking lot and Crispino Stadium, alongside Putty Hill Av en u e.

The new fields replaced grass fields originally laid out in the early 60’s. The turf fields provide additional space and flexibility for the football program’s varsity and underclass squads.

47 HISTORY

Calvert Hall fielded a football team in 1899 to play its Catholic school rivals from Loyola, and played a few games against local competition in a scattering of seasons in the early 20th Century. However, the school marks 1920 as the official beginning of the Cardinals football program. In 1920, Calvert Hall had its first full season of official pigskin action and played within league competition. Ironically, the Cardinals first season on the gridiron kicked off less than a year after the end of the deadly Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918-1919, while the 100th season of of Calvert Hall Football concluded just months before the nation and the world were hit by the COVID-19 outbreak.

The Beginning On October 2, 1920, Calvert Hall conducted its first practice at Druid Hill Park. The novice team was coached by Ike Law and assisted by Herbert E. Moore. Approximately 40 players tried out for the 1920 Calvert Hall squad. The Cardinals lost their first game 14-0 to the now-closed Marston School of Ruxton and also lost the first match-up against now long-time rival Mount Saint Joseph, 21-7. The highlight of the 1920 season was the team’s first and only win of the year, against the rivals from nearby Loyola.

The inaugural game against Loyola took place on a cold afternoon on Friday November 12, 1920, almost two full weeks before Thanksgiving. Homewood Field at Johns Hopkins served as the location of this historical clash; neither school had an on-campus field thus necessitating the need for a neutral-site venue. News reports from the Baltimore Sun said the two squads were evenly matched. But Louis Walker, a transfer from Loyola, kicked a field goal for CHC and then late in the 4th quarter caught a pass from Ray Brooks, raced down the field and scored the game’s only touchdown. This late score broke a 3-3 tie and gave the Cardinal & Gold a 9-3 triumph. The Calvert Hall fans mobbed the field at the conclusion of the game.

Turkey Bowl The great rivalry had now begun, and every season going forward, the football teams from Calvert Hall and Loyola would meet on the gridiron. The Calvert Hall-Loyola match-up, now known as the “Turkey Bowl”, became the nation’s oldest continuous Catholic prep school football rivalry. However, in those early years, the date and location for the game changed almost every year. In the first nine years of the football rivalry, the game was played at some point late in the season, but never actually on Turkey Day. And in some of these seasons, the rivalry game wasn’t even the final game on each team’s schedule.

In 1929, the game was played on Thanksgiving morning for the first time, a tradition that has remained unchanged for 90 years. The venue of the rivalry game rotated in the first few years, but Homewood Field hosted 18 of the first 24 Calvert Hall-Loyola pigskin contests. In 1944, the Turkey Bowl was played for the first time at Baltimore’s Municipal Stadium, a traditional football horseshoed- stadium which seated 80,000 fans. Several years later, with the NFL now in town and Baltimore pursuing a MLB team, the city re-constructed Memorial Stadium, the long-time home of the Colts and Orioles, on that same location. Between Municipal Stadium and Memorial Stadium, more than half of the Turkey Bowls, 53 in total (1944-92, 94-97), were played on 33rd Street.

Since 1998, the game has rotated between Ravens Stadium at Camden Yards and Towson University’s Unitas Stadium. Last November, the Cardinals and Dons The Baltimore Sun’s article met in the 100th edition of the historic rivalry.

Cathedral Street Era Until the fall of 1960, Calvert Hall was located in Baltimore City (at the southwest corner of Cathedral Street and Mulberry Street), and the Cardinals football program faced significant disadvantages related to their downtown location. Unlike most of its rivals, Calvert Hall did not have athletic fields on campus, and compared to the large public school powers in the MSA, CHC had a smaller enrollment. However, during these years, Calvert Hall football had a number of bright moments, championship squads, superstar players, and legendary coaches.

Calvert Hall capped off the 1932 season, with a 32-6 win over Loyola in the Turkey Bowl. Coached by Nick Burtscher (CHC Class of 1924) and led by multi-dimensional quarterback Don McCourt, the 1932 Cardinals outscored their opponents 165-12 on the season. CHC finished 7-0 to win the program’s first MSA Championship. Nearly nine decades later, this remains one of the greatest teams in a century of Cardinals football.

Two years later, in 1934, Calvert Hall regained the MSA crown, when the Cardinal & Gold finished 4-0-2 on the season.

In 1942, Calvert Hall had a unanimous All- Metro selection at halfback with senior Johnny LeBrou. He capped off his strong senior campaign with arguably the most outstanding performance in Turkey Bowl Calvert Hall’s 1932 squad is regarded as one of the Cardinals greatest history. teams and one of the most dominant in MSA/MIAA history.

In the first half, LeBrou had a 60-yard reception on a fake punt, and in the 3rd quarter had rushing touchdowns of 76 yards and 30 yards. Then in the 4th quarter, with Loyola driving for the go-ahead score, LeBrou intercepted a pass near the goal line, and ran it back 96 yards for his fourth touchdown of the game, to seal Calvert Hall’s 26-18 victory. LeBrou later played football and baseball at Notre Dame.

Offensive end Tom Scott was the star of the 1948 Cardinals who finished the season 6-1-2, including a 13-0 upset of Loyola on Thanksgiving Day. Scott became an All-American at Virginia in both football and lacrosse, and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1979.

A teammate of Tom Scott’s on the 1946 and ’47 Calvert Hall squads was a hefty 270 pound lineman named George Young (CHC Class of ’48). He was a big presence along the line for the Cardinals during his playing days, but he Johnny LeBrou was selected as an made a much more significant impact when he returned to Calvert Hall a few All-Metro back in 1942. years later as head coach. 49 HISTORY

In 1954, at the age of 24, George Young became head coach of the Cardinals. In five seasons at The Hall, his record was 15-21-4. His legacy, however, goes far beyond his winning percentage. Former players credit George Young, a noted taskmaster, with implementing a change in the team’s culture. In his third season, the Cardinals knocked off Loyola 20-0 in the Turkey Bowl. The following year in 1957, Calvert Hall captured the MSA Championship, ending a 23-year title drought.

After leaving CHC following the 1958 season, George Young won five MSA titles in a decade as the head coach at City College. In the late 1960’s, Young broke George Young ’48 (second from the left) is joined by senior co-captains into the NFL as a scout, assistant coach Gerry Gray (second from the right) and Francis Grau (far right) in and executive with the Baltimore Colts. accepting the 1957 Knights of Columbus trophy, awarded to the area’s Following five years in the Miami best Catholic prep team.

He was selected as the NFL Executive of the Year five times. Earlier this year, George Young was elected for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, where he will be officially inducted in August 2021. A proud alumnus and a championship coach, his legacy at Calvert Hall is permanently felt with the presence of George Young Hall, which houses the school’s library. His widow Mary Love Young bestowed the funding for this building shortly after his death in 2001.

Fo otball Renaissance While Loyola H.S. had moved out of Baltimore City in 1934, re- locating to the former Blakefield property in Towson, Calvert Hall would remain downtown until 1960. From 1920 to 1959, the Cardinals only won three football championships while located at the “Old Hall”. The move to Towson allowed Calvert Hall to attract more students from the burgeoning suburbs. And the 32-acre campus on LaSalle Road gave Calvert Hall student-athletes something they had never enjoyed: their own on-campus practice facilities and stadium.

Beginning in 1963, Calvert Hall experienced a pigskin renaissance. This began a run of gridiron excellence through 1984 that was the result of the school’s move to Towson, a larger student body, new Running back Ken Harms carries the ball facilities, and a string of quality coaches. During this period of time, around the end for a Cardinals first down in CHC was 162-53-3 (.750 win pct.), won eight MSA championships, Calvert Hall’s 1964 Turkey Bowl win. The and dominated the Turkey Bowl series (winning 16 of 22 times over Cards 36-0 victory in 1964 marked a turning the Dons). point in the long-standing rivalry. 50 HISTORY

In his second season as Cardinals head coach in 1964, head coach Fred Kern’s squad crushed Loyola 36-0 to end the year 7-2, the program’s most wins since 1948. This was Calvert Hall’s first win over Loyola in eight years and only the sixth Turkey Bowl win in a quarter century. The ’64 squad finished in 3rd place in the MSA behind second place Poly and the conference champions from City. Kern’s 1965 team would defeat the Dons again and yet again finish the season in 3rd in the MSA standings, behind the the runner-up Poly and the MSA champion City.

In 1966, the Cardinals won the program’s first MSA Championship in nine years, sharing the title with City College, against whom they tied 20-20 in a see-saw battle two weeks before Thanksgiving. Local news reports estimated there were 10,000 spectators at Calvert Hall to witness the momentous tie. City was coached by CHC alum and former coach George Young. The Collegians star quarterback was future Baltimore mayor Kurt Schmoke, who ended up sharing the First Team All-Metro honors for signal caller with Calvert Hall’s Richard Sterba, who had a tremendous season leading an offense that scored nearly 28 points per game. A very stingy Cards defense only gave up 7.4 points per game in ’66. Highlights of the season included upsetting Poly and beating the Engineers for the first time in 27 years, crushing Mount St. Joe 39-0, and beating Loyola for a third consecutive year, which clinched the Cardinals share of the MSA crown. The 1966 season was Fred Kern’s final at The Hall; after leaving the high school ranks, he went on to have a successful career as a collegiate assistant.

The 20-20 tie in 1966 against City College is still considered one of the greatest games in Baltimore prep history. Quarterback Richard Sterba and lineman Larry Herzog (pictured far right) were First Team All-MSA selections in ’66.

Joe Carlozo, a Philadelphia scholastic legend in the 1940’s, Building a Championship Program took over the Cardinals midway through the 1967 campaign. During Carlozo’s tenure, the Cardinals were “They’ve got it made at Calvert Hall. 44-22-2 in seven seasons, including four wins against Pretty cheerleaders. Classy band. Loyola.

Era of Augie After serving as JV head coach for eight seasons and varsity assistant for five years, Augie Miceli was named head coach of the varsity program for the 1974 season. Coach Miceli inherited a very solid program, however he was able to build on the success of his predecessors by maintaining a strong and hard-hitting defense, and making the Delaware Wing-T the MSA’s most potent offense.

Augie Miceli led Calvert Hall football to levels of success not previously enjoyed during the program’s history and The Hall became Baltimore’s top gridiron power during his coaching tenure. The Cardinals were MSA champions in 1975, 1976, 1978, 1979, 1981 and 1982. Miceli’s teams finished in the final metro Top 10 in each of his first eleven seasons at the helm of the Cardinals program. During a stretch from 1978 through 1984, Calvert Hall defeated Loyola in the Turkey Bowl a record seven straight times, and his overall Turkey Bowl record was 9-5. He was named All-Metro Coach of the Year in 1979 and was named the Quarterback Club of Baltimore’s Coach of the Year four times. He stepped down as head coach after the 1987 season with a career record of 100-46, but remained on faculty as a math teacher. After a stint as an assistant coach at Johns Hopkins, Miceli came back to CHC Football as an assistant coach on the staffs of Lou Eckerl, Jay Robinson ’74 and Donald Davis ’96.

The culmination of the 1979 season was a 28-0 blowout of Loyola. The Cardinals ended the year 11-0, the first perfect season at CHC since 1932.

Augustine “Augie” Miceli, Sr., AFSC, was a giant in the history of Calvert Hall football and a member of the Calvert Hall College High School family for more than 61 years as an educator and an athletics coach. In 2015, in honor of his decades of service at Calvert Hall, he was bestowed with the Christian Brothers’ highest honor for lay colleagues, being named an affiliated member of the order, thereby earning the “AFSC” designation. He retired from teaching at The Hall in June 2019, and passed away just a few weeks later, at the age of 86.

Augie Miceli’s teams at Calvert Hall had a reputation for being well-coached and disciplined. As head coach of the Cardinals, he left a legacy of winning, with class and dignity. This legacy is a perfect reflection of the man himself.

Times of Change In the two decades following Augie Miceli’s tenure, Calvert Hall went through a series of changes at head coach, with Bill Mackley, Lou Eckerl, and Jay Robinson at the helm of the the Cardinals program. During this era, there were a number of new staff personnel, but unfortunately a lot of familiar faces left the Calvert Hall football program during these years. • John Sanborn (pictured upper left), an equipment manager and trainer at CHC for nearly three decades, passed away in 1987, after suffering a debilitating stroke the year prior. • The moderator for the Calvert Hall varsity team for 21 years, Brother Patrick Phillips, FSC (pictured upper right) stepped away from the football program upon retiring from teaching in 1993. Brother Patrick passed away at the age of 97 in 2014. • Charles Freitag (pictured lower left), founder of the CHC marching band and long-time director of music, who was credited with composing both the school fight song and the alma mater, retired after 53 years in 2006. • Long-time athletic director and super fan Brother Andrew DiNoto, FSC (pictured lower right), who arrived at the “Old Hall” in 1947, left the Calvert Hall campus in 2005, and passed away three years later.

Other dramatic changes were plentiful for CHC football and within the league during these years. After nearly 75 years, the original MSA, comprised of local private schools and Baltimore City public schools, disbanded after the 1993 season. The MSA became unsustainable when the City public schools voted in favor of joining the rest of the state’s public schools already in the MPSSAA. The MIAA, comprised of Catholic prep schools and the other private educational institutions in the Baltimore metro area, was immediately formed upon the dissolving of the MSA.

Decades-old rivalries against the powerhouse Poly and City teams, plus other neighborhood public schools such as Edmondson, Forest Park, and Patterson, essentially ended when the MSA folded. CHC has only played a handful of games against the old MSA rivals in the last 25 years. Since its founding, the MIAA has evolved as St. Mary’s, Georgetown Prep and later St. Frances joined the “A” Conference, but left soon thereafter. Archbishop Spalding moved up to the “A” Conference a decade ago, while Loyola began playing an independent schedule in 2018.

For 27 seasons (from 1983 through 2009), Calvert Hall football suffered a frustrating championship drought. The Cardinals had a number of very strong and competitive teams during this time, but several of these squads came up just a little bit short. Tough rivalry losses down the stretch in 1983, 1984, 1991, 1997, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2009, prevented the Cardinals from winning the conference titles in those years. Beginning in 1989, the Cardinals suffered an 11-game Turkey Bowl losing streak. A double-overtime 7-6 Cardinals victory over Loyola in 2000, led to one of the greatest celebrations in Calvert Hall history. With the beginning of the MIAA in 1994 and an increased focus on football in the Baltimore area following the return of the NFL in 1996, the competitive landscape on the gridiron among the area private schools was getting more intense during this era. The construction of Paul Angelo Russo Stadium in 1999 was a tangible sign that the Calvert Hall administration and its board were supportive of ensuring the Cardinals would remain a strong program for years to come. The creation of the Cardinal & Gold Football Foundation in 1995 by dozens of active and passionate alumni was meant to provide the football program with adequate resources necessary to field a winning team and compete annually for a championship.

Decade of Excellence In his third year as the Cardinals head man in 2009, Donald Davis ’96 won his first Turkey Bowl, destroying the Dons 47-28. The 2009 Cardinals finished a game behind conference champion Gilman in the MIAA standings. Riding this positive momentum, Calvert Hall was excited to begin the 2010 season. The Cardinals were picked 3rd in the MIAA in the pre-season prognostications and ranked #7 in the initial metro poll. An early season triple- overtime thrilling win over Archbishop Spalding, and decisive shutout victories against Mount Saint Joseph and Poly began to turn heads. Then, a mid-season win against #1 Gilman, under the lights at Russo Stadium, propelled Calvert Hall to the top of the rankings. Despite a stumble the following week at Georgetown Prep, the Cardinals controlled their own destiny to capture the MIAA Championship going into the 91st Turkey Bowl.

After the underdog Loyola scored an early touchdown, the Cardinals, led by junior quarterback Thomas Stuart, scored 34 unanswered points, on the way to a 41-13 victory. Daniel Yarborough, who won the All-Metro Defensive Player of the Year, captained a ferocious defense that gave up just 10.4 points per game. The Hall finished the season 11-1, ranked #1 in the metro area, and #1 in the state. By claiming the MIAA Championship, the Cardinals ended their 28-year title drought.

Following the 2010 championship, Calvert Hall finished as conference runner-up two consecutive seasons in 2011 and ’12. In both 2014 and 2017, the Cards won seven games, captured Turkey Bowl victories, and finished in the state Top 10. In 2018, the Cardinals finished the season on a seven-game win streak, won the Maryland Christian Schools Invitational, crushed Loyola 40-7, finished the year 12-1, set a school record for wins in a season, and were ranked #2 in the final metro poll and #5 in the final statewide rankings. Last year, the Cardinals beat the Dons 33- 10 in the 100th Turkey Bowl and finished the season ranked #10 in the state.

Dating back to 2009, CHC was victorious in the Turkey Bowl in ten of their the last 11 seasons, finished in the final metro Top 10 seven times, placed in the final state Top 10 on five different occasions, placed 20 players into the Division I-A/FBS ranks, and dozens of other players into Division I-AA/FCS and Division II.

George Young ’48 NFL Executive George Young had a 34-year career in the NFL, primarily as a front office executive. After a six-season stint with the hometown Baltimore Colts, including serving as an assistant coach for the Super Bowl V champions, he moved on to the Miami Dolphins in 1974, where he was reunited with his old colleague and friend Don Shula. Young was the head of scouting and the player personnel director for five seasons in Miami.

Having built a reputation within NFL circles as an excellent talent evaluator and strong negotiator, George Young was hired as general manager of the New York Giants in 1979. Once one of the NFL’s premier franchises, the Giants had a streak of six straight losing seasons and a 15-year playoff drought when Young was hired. Immediately, George Yo u n g b ro ug ht stability and credibility to the long-suffering organization.

Early in his tenure in New York, he drafted Lawrence Taylor, Phil Simms, and Carl Banks, and hired a relatively unknown Bill Parcells as head coach. In his eighth season, the Giants won Super Bowl XXI, and four years later hoisted the Lombardi Trophy again, after defeating the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXV. As the Giants franchise began to re-build their team in the mid-90’s, Young drafted future Hall of Fame lineman Michael Strahan and perennial Pro Bowl running back Tiki Barber.

As Giants general manager from 1979-1997, George Young won five NFL Executive of the Year awards. Before passing away in December 2001, he served as senior vice president for the NFL for nearly four years. George Young was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in January 2020. He will be officially inducted at a special re-scheduled ceremony for the Hall’s Class of 2020 in Canton, OH on August 7, 2021.

Player • Coach • Benefactor George Young’s love for Calvert Hall was well known. Even after establishing a successful career in the NFL, George Young would often return to his alma mater, and always remained a dedicated and loyal alumnus. To honor her deceased husband’s passion for Calvert Hall and his love for education, George Yo u n g ’s widow Mary Love Young and her family made a generous donation in 2004 for a new academic building and a scholastic scholarship. George Young Hall stands as a lasting legacy to one of Calvert Hall’s finest sons.

The Cardinal & Gold Football Foundation celebrates its 25th Anniversary in 2020

The Cardinal & Gold Football Foundation (“Cardinal & Gold”, “C&GFF”, “Foundation”) is a non-profit organization supporting the Calvert Hall football program. Inspired by the 75th anniversary celebration of the Turkey Bowl in 1994, the C&GFF was founded in January 1995 by a dedicated group of loyal and passionate Calvert Hall alumni who wanted to ensure the continual financial support for Cardinals football.

The founders of the C&GFF were a group of gentlemen who were deeply rooted in the goals of winning, good sportsmanship and fostering the tradition of “faithful sons are we ..” as the Calvert Hall alma mater proclaims. That remains the goals of the Foundation more than a quarter century after its origination.

The Cardinal & Gold website (www.CalvertHallFootball.com) has a plethora of historical records and information pertinent to the Foundation and the Football program. The data, stats, and records on the site have been prepared over a number of years by football archivist Tom Bateman ’64. The C&GFF welcomes any tidbits of information, stories, corrections to scores, etc. that might enhance the website, particularly photos and articles from past games. These can be e-mailed to [email protected] the current Foundation secretary Paul Chrismer ’93 at [email protected].
