THE GREATEST EAGLE FOOTBALL TEAM October 23, 1940 ... The team resumed workouts after a day off. A full team was available for the workout, all in fit physical condition. Backs and ends worked together in passing drills that lasted two hours. The linesmen spent time running downfield under punts and spent the rest of the time on blocking drills. Charlie O'Rourke and Mickey Connolly split the passing duties. Teddy Williams did some passing against the freshmen. Frank Leahy missed the workout and stayed home with the flu. |

The Eagles wreck St. Anselm 55-0, October 26, 1940 ... Frank Maznicki, Mike Holovak, Lou Montgomery and Bob Jauron contributed two touchdowns apiece in making Boston College the nation's highest scoring football team, with 215, as the Eagles steamrolled little St. Anselm 55-0 at the Heights. The small New Hampshire college was no match. The Eagles did not exactly score at will, but they did manage to run up the count without showing more than a half dozen plays. Charlie O'Rourke did not play the second half and B.C. made no real effort at passing the ball in general. For the first ten minutes St. Anselm looked like a great team. They took the opening kick-off to their own 28-yard line. They went into Boston College territory at the 48-yard line after completing a couple of first downs. Forced to kick the Hawks stopped O'Rourke by intercepting the only pass he threw all day. The interception was by Ed Boule who brought the ball to the Eagle 31-yard line. On their first play however, Bob Gorman crashed over left tackle and fumbled. Frank Maznicki got the ball back for the Eagles who proceeded to march 73 yards down the field for the first touchdown. B.C. scored again in the first period, with Lou Montgomery running around the right flank for touchdown #2. The Hawks put up a good defense in the second period, but B.C. scored twice on defensive mistakes. John Yauckoes blocked a Hawk punt that rolled back and went out-of-bounds at the St. Anselm 2-yard line. Mike Holovak ran it in for touchdown #3. A few plays later Frank Maznicki intercepted a pass and galloped unmolested up the sideline for touchdown #4. Maznicki scored again in the third period on a 28-yard run. The tired and battered Hawks allowed three more touchdowns in the fourth quarter to the second stringers. A 75-yard drive culminated with Lou Montgomery scoring #5. A big kickoff return and an 18 yard run by Dowdy Kissell set up touchdown #6. And finally Don Currivan blocking a punt led to touchdown #7. Bobby Jauron put the ball in for both of the final two scores. Frank (Monk) Maznicki scored twelve points by touchdowns and four points by kicking extra points to lead the scoring with 16 points. |
