DOVER Sportswriters in these
parts are calling Sammy Mascotti
“probably the greatest individual
performer ever to wear a St. Jo
seph’s uniform.”
Sammy and his Rambler team
mates just closed the books on an
other football season. True, no or
dinary season. The school posted
the first undefeated record in its
history this fall with nine straight
victories.
The 17-year-old athlete, now in
his fourth year of varsity compe
tition. was quite an asset at right
half for the Ramblers. He was sec
ond highest high school scorer in
the state with 192 points.
Coaches, press and radio repre
sentatives wore out adjective after
adjective in describing Sammy’s
gridiron exploits this year. And
teams from Brewster, Malvern, Au
gusta, Dalton, West Lafayette, Ca
nal Fulton. Strasburg, Tuscarawas
and St. Mary's, Dennison, tried
just as hopelessly to waylay Sammy
and the Rambler Express.
A major share of the credit for
setting off Sammy’s gridiron dyna
mite this season goes to Coach Joe
Drotivich.
It was Drotivich who noticed
midway through last season that
quarterback Mascotti had the mak
ings of a fine runner. By the be
ginning of school this fall Mascotti
was a halfback.
And what a halfback. A crew
of over-worked statisticians comput
ed he had gained 1,928 yards com
bined rushing and passing. A first
down was in the making each time
he handled the ball, for he averag
ed 16.6 yards per carry. And be
tween times he tossed five touch
down aerials.
Slamming Sammy’s heroics have
not been confined to action be
tween the football stripes, either.
He has lettered three years in
basketball, last season amassing
more than 320 points on the hard
court. For a season’s effort in the
American Legion baseball program
he toted a .400 batting average and

Undefeated in seven contests, Holy Family school's entry in the Elementary Middleweight league
roared to the division championship on a powerful scoring attack, notching 218 points to only 39 for the
opposition. Next highest scoring outfit piled up 132 markers. On the line, I to r, are James Dixon, David
Dehl, Joe Luckhaupt, Wayne Wright, Thomas Culle, James Horne and David Carlisle. In the backfield are
Tom Vacheresse, Peter Redd, Coach Dick Knipfer. Donald Devereaux and John Dorrian. Missing are Joe
West, Steve Elgin, Robert Boyle and Chuck and Gary Grimm.
Dover Grid Fans Won’t Forget
High-Scoring Sammy Mascotti
played second base quite well. He
has earned four football mono
grams.
Standing 5’ 10” and weighing 160
pounds, Mascotti ran rings around
fellows half again his size. He
emerged unhurt in the nine pigskin
battles although every opponent
was naturally out to “get” him.
Sammy wants to go to college
hut hasn’t decided v here yet. Per
haps he leans toward John Carroll
where several teammates will en
roll, but he also likes Fordham and
Bonaventure. Notre Dame has been
in contact with him.
Even in the classroom, Sammy
sparkles. He finished the first six
week term with a 92 average and
made the highest score in the
school on a recent Ohio Test on
Problems of Democracy. He hap
pens to be a whiz at Mathematics
also.
He’ll play basketball again this
winter for the Ramblers—practices
have already started and next
June receive his coveted high
school sheepskin. He wants to
coach and/or play football and his
eye is on a degree in Physical Ed
ucation.
But regardless of the future,
one thing is certain. Dover fans—
and a lot of other Ohio pigskin ad
dicts—won’t be forgetting Sammy
soon. And perhaps they’ll hear
more from him in the future.

Immaculate Concept ion
Team Won 18 Straight
When Immaculate Conception
dropped Rosary 26 to 7 in the
finale for both teams, it marked
the 18th consecutive win for the
victors over a three year perioc in
parochial heavyweight league play.
Holy Family, middleweight
champs, could argue they had
quite a ball-carrier in Tom Vacher
esse. This lad, who enters high
school next year, gained over 1000
yards and scored 103 points dur
ing the season.

Hail to the champs: Immacu
late Conception in the Heavyweight
league, Holy Family in the Middle
weight division and the trio of
lightweight crown wearers, St.
Dominic, St. James and St. Aga
tha’s. These teams wound up at
the top of their respective leagues
when the 24th elementary school
football season came to a close on
last week-end.
The teams were to appear in the
annual All Star contests on Thanks
giving Day and then hang up the
togs for another year. All squads
were real champs, there’s no
doubting this. The fact that the
final statistics showed three of the
lightweights finishing together
gives us an indication of the battle
that was waged during the season.
The boys, their coaches and their
schools are to be congratulated.
Anyone who has witnessed an
elementary school game has seen
some good football. We would say
that this was the case in most in
stances but we are sure that it was
so for those who saw St. Thomas
and St. Augustine battle it out in
the final game of the season last
week.
There was no championship at
stake but the boys played like
there was. St. Thomas won by an
18 to 14 count, scoring first on a
seventy-yard run by their left half
Joe Hoffman. But the outstanding
work was done by little Jake Spar.
Jake can pass a football with more
poise than many college players.
We are of the opinion that that
arm has a future after seeing him
toss very accurately right down
the center to end Tom Waters for
a touchdown.
Bob Foreman and Jerry Vogel
did the blocking and defensive
work for the team. Even with this
excellent performance St. Thomas
had its work cut out for it due
to a fighting and game St. Augus
tine squad. The team wasn’t par
ticularly outstanding until the sec
ond half when it called for an end
around handoff. On this play, a
young man by the name of Dale
Doodle came by and took fhe hand
off and streaked down the sidelines
for some 45 yards to touchdown
territory.
We were actually breathless
watching him go. That seemed to
catch the team on fire and only
time prohibited them from doing
more. We" were told by the coach
es that Dale wouldn’t play in the
backfield because he was too mod
est so naturally we figured that
St. Augies main play was an end
around. Jim Wilson ran twenty
live yards to set up a pass play to
end Eugene Dootie for the other
touchdown.
On the other field at Goodale
center, St. Peter’s was an 8 to 0
forfeit winner over St. Francis.
The game was called after the first
half because St. Francis, which has
been plagued by injuiies all sea
son, was short of men.
Speaking of St. Thomas and St.
Francis we were reminiscing with
some of the fans on the sidelines
and recalled the time when St.
Thomas made headlines in the dai
ly press for outstanding work. It
happened in 1928 or '29 when un
scored-on St. ‘Thomas was playing
unscored-on and favored St. Fran
cis for the Parochial School city
title.
With the score tied in the third
quarter St. Thomas’s Captain
Spanner picked up the ball and
announced that he was penalizing
St. Francis for offside. The latter
team stood and looked on in
astonishment as Spanner walked
off five yards. Suddenly he started
to run and broke off into the clear
for 55 yards and n touchdown. St.
Thomas won 18 to 6- that's real
football.
Christ the King school didn’t win
this year but they get the vote for
producing a al star i heavy
lightweight Thomas Kessler who
weighs all of sixty pounds.
