    Football (1928)

In the final period St. Ignatius once more fell victim to exhaustion and the Army threatened several times. One stand of the Green Shirts in particular, that on the one-yard line with the Army having three downs to go, was a remarkable bit of football stubbornness.

While the early-leavers were filing through the exits, the Fog pulled a play that fell inches short of winning the game. Standing in the shadows of his own goal posts, Barron flipped a thirty-five yard pass to Hanlon, who snared it on the run and charged down the grid with a clear field ahead.

Blough and Gilmore chased Hanlon for forty yards and Blough nailed him with a flying tackle from behind. Hanlon carried victory with him, but he was too exhausted to lengthen his stride. Skelly, Bacciocco, Murphy and Stapleton worked well in the line and Sullivan, Barron and Bareilles in the backfield (TheIgnatian).

Later, Bacciocco earned his Master's and began teaching in Political Science at USF.
