Middie mystery deepens after 60 win over Taft
Middletown Middies held off Hamilton Taft 60 to 0 at Barnitz Stadium to notch their second Greater Miami Conference victory. Coach Jack Gordon blamed concentration lapses and injuries, including quarterback Jackie Gordon’s ankle, as the team barely capitalized on big ground yardage and a late field position miscue. Larry Mack ran 26 times for 153 yards before an ankle injury. Bobby Dwyer opened scoring with a 48 yard TD burst.
