I'll answer this right now.  I just happen to have the  SU - Holy Cross football program right in front of me, played at Archbold October 17, 1959, the big year (I have lots of SU programs from back then).  The pages are a bit wrinkled - must have rained that day.  Bet SU wore their special rain pants; they seldom lost wearing them, probably because you play a lot better playing in comfortable dry pants.  If I remember, they were beige color, not orange.

I know the class years that many of the regular players were in, from memory, but let me look in this '59 program.  This program lists the '58 frosh as '59 sophs. Gimme a second to find the Syracuse Squad Roster page.  Ah, here it is, page 19.

I'll enter the key 1959 sophs who were frosh in 1958, who I remember as contributing during their SU career and lettering; at that time frosh did not play varsity:  Peter Brokaw, John Brown, Ernest Davis, Richard Easterly, Kenneth Ericson, Gary Fallon, Richard Feidler, George Francovitch, David Sarette, Robert Stem.

I was a soph on Sadler 2 in the fall of 1961, and the following seniors were on my floor: Brokaw, Brown, Davis, Easterly, Stem.  I called my Dad, SU class 26 after I settled in on the first day there, and exclaimed excitedly "Dad, you won't believe who's on my floor !!!."

Great Memories
