Notes: Bruising fullback Dave Brodd wrapped up three straight seasons of outstanding play with a 135-yard performance against the rival Falmouth Clippers. The game was played at Elmer "Guv" Fuller Field in downtown Falmouth, but not on Thanksgiving Day. Due to a heavy downpour that day, the game was postponed until the Saturday after.

    Sadly, and quite tragically, junior defensive tackle Roy Crosby (#55) was killed the evening prior to the Nov. 8th game versus Tantasqua. The game would go down as one of senior quarterback Mike Delaney's greatest as he passed for 179 yards and two TDs and rushed for another 109 yards, including a 60-yard touchdown run. Delaney would go on to captain and quarterback at Columbia University.
