Hickman and Valpey both look for a high-scoring game. This means that Emil Drvaric and Billy Booe may get a chance to match toes against each other. Booe, a 146-pound, five-foot six senior from Shelton, Conn., has kicked 27 straight points after touchdown, six at the end of last year and 21 this fall.

He is one of 14 Seniors, including the Chipper, who will be playing their last game of football for the Crimson today
