The touch football squad is counting heavily on Leroy Rieselbach, and Dick Hamlin, all holdovers from last year's second place squad, while Jack Sands and Ed Carter are expected to anchor the soccer team.
LEVERETT: Like Kirkland, Leverett is expected to enter good teams in all three leagues this fall. Strongest in the backfield, the football team will be led by fullback and captain Stu Dunsker and halfback Charley Biltz. Juniors Gib Gerry and Ronny Siegle, both in their second year on the team, will bolster the line.
The Bunny soccer outlook is the brightest in the league, with almost every member of last year's title winning team returning. In touch-football, Dave Segal, a former Leverett tackle star, appears the best prospect.
LOWELL: The Bellboys, who not too long ago had trouble fielding eleven men, are expected to continue their football improvement of last year. Bob Gebelin and Monny Dowling are counted on to star in the backfield, while Ed Aronson and Bruce Righter are outstanding linemen. Among the other holdovers from last year's fifth place team are Paul Levesque and Peter Hearst.
In touch football, Lowell should not have much difficulty bettering its past records. The team has not won a game in three years. Steve Anderson, Len Levine, Mike Berger and Paul Pawlowski will probably be of most assistance in ending the losing streak. Bob Dubinsky, John Yeager, and Cliff Rand are expected to lead a strong soccer team, which also includes Ted Weyer and Mike Klein.
WINTHROP: Winthrop lost a large number of the House's top intramural athletes through graduation, but appears to have some chance of improving on last year's middle-of-the-league-standing. In football the team is led by a very strong backfield of Dan Murphy, Gary Schonher, Bert Miner and Al Lubetkin.
Only two players are left from last year's championship touch football team, and the soccer team is not much better off with three returnees. Holdovers are hockey players Art Noyes and Charlie Flynn in touch and John Bartels, Earl Silbert, and Ralph Kaplan in soccer.
