By Jacob Schaad Jr. WILDWOOD r The first annual Beach Bowl football game here Saturday Was a rousing success for .everybody except the defending champions of the Philadelphia Catholic League., Upstart St. John, Neumann sent shock waves back to the City of Brotherly Love when it upset highly, favored Father Judge • High School. 8-6, before an overflow crowd of 2,000 here. The game, usually played in Philadelphia before sparse audiences and shifted here to attract vacationing fans, was filled with high drama and emotion as the Pirates assumed a first quarter lead and then allowed its defense to take over to insure the victory. THE VICTORY was especially sweet for Netimann's Coach Bill Brannau who was the coach at Judge for 10 years and who piloted Neumann , to a 5-4 mark in 1982, his first season at the helm. Brannau, whose Wildwood, summer home is five minutes from Maxwell Field, also coached Judge's mentor, John "Whitey” Sullivan, when he was a student at Judge.

"I told our players before the game that this might be the biggest win they will ever have,” an elated Brannau said after the victory. "Our defense stunned them. We have good size . and our kids move." Brannau recalled that 4 last year Father Judge beat his team, 41-44. "They scored three touchdowns%ngainst us befoce we got on the field," . he said. "I told ‘Whitey’ that the Wildwood bartenders were counting on the same beginning this year, so the fans would leave early and patronize their places.” A (HUM Sullivan attributed the loss to the fact that his te^m did not play well offensively and defensively in the first quarter. He also felt his players were distracted in Wildwood. He didn’t say what the distractions were, but it could be he was talking about the bikinis that appear on the streets of this seshore resort. The Neumann players apparently wore blinders. Neumann set the pace for the' game the first time it got its hands on the ball in the first quarter. In 12 plays it moved 65 yards to pay- dirt, culminating the drive on a six yard TD pass fi'pm shifty quarterback Larry Barreta to Len Nelson. Brusing^ tailback, Ralph Di Meo crashed into the end sjone fo£.the two point conversion. Neumann threatened again in th]|^ second quarter, moving the ball from its own 37 yard line to the shadow of the goal post. On a 15 yard run, Barreta.

brought the ball to the three yard line, but the play was nullified on a clipping penalty and the threat died there. ANOTHER PENALTY, this one for holding, seriously hurt Jufige near the end- of the first h&If. Quarterback Billy Hartigan converted a long pass into the end zone, but the play was wiped out because of offensive holding. Hartigan. however, took matters into his own hands with'9:07 left in the third quarter. On an option play around the left side, the quick quarterback faked out the opposition and scampered 65 yards into touchdown territory, virtually unmolested. The plunge for the two point conversion failed when the

ball squirted out ol the back’s hands into the end zone. It was all defense after that. Judge brought the ball to Neumann’s 18 yard line, but linebacker Ron Rosati picked off a Hartigan pass. \ Meanwhile, the Neumann offense faltered as it lost two of its quality players. Quarterback Barreta sprained an ankle and the 6-1, 215 pound Di Meo, who rushed for 73 yards, injured his leg. Both were replaced in the fourth quarter. But the Neumann defense hung in there, especially in the final three minutes when defensive back Steve Smith picked off two Hartigan passes.
