99 points while le-driving full
back Jack Baumann finished third
with 76.
Members of the St. Charles team
were the only boys in the Diocese

squads. Dick Wroblewski, brilliant
end, was awarded a 3rd team post
on the United Press team and hon

Zanesville Rosecrens capped an
impressive sports year with an un

in the Diocese. The Bishops tallied
234 points while running over sev
en straight opponents and were
one of the few teams mentioned
in final UP state-wide ratings.
John Fantin, Dennison St. Mary's
fine halfback, outscored St.

scoring honors. Fantin tallied 23
touchdowns and 14 conversions to

Here And There
In minor sports. Aquinas added
its third Central District champi

tied with Circleville for the golf
title.
New Lexington St. Aloysius cli
maxed an informal grid season by
announcing that it would enter the
Tri-County Six-Man League next
fall. Newark St. Francis is already
a member.
Two coaching changes were
made the Diocese with Jack
Hogan replacing Ralph Hinger as
basketball mentor at Mt. Vernon
St. Vincent and Paul Drotovich
succeeding Dave DePage at Denni
