City Title

At Franklin Field
Egan 28, Central 12
    Larry Marshall churned out 182 yards and two TDs on 20 carries
while Mike Goetz added two TDs and 101 yards on eight carries. Under
coach Dick Bedesem, Egan became the third school to win back-to-back
city titles, joining St. Joseph's Prep (1938-39) and Southern (1944-45).
Central's highlight was a 50-yard scoring pass from Jack Gorman to
Handsome Wearing, while Johnnie Williams rushed 24 times for 79 yards
and a TD.

Public League

At Northeast
Central 13, Bartram 6
Central 8, Edison 6
    In an unprecedented move, league officials decided to break a
three-way tie with two half-games on the same day at the same site. In
the first game, Central scored the first two TDs on short runs by Rich
Weaver and Jack Gorman, then Marv Frazier returned a kickoff 95 yards
for Bartram. After a short break, during which Central coach Ed Veith
had no time to discuss preparations for Edison, Edison stormed downfield
in 11 plays and Pedro Barez scored from the 1. But in the second
quarter, Paul Lobosco's fumble recovery gave Central the ball at
Edison's 5, Johnnie Williams immediately ran for a TD and Gorman passed
for two to Handsome Wearing.
