On this day 77 years ago…

The Blue and White football squad hoped to finish the season with a winning record, but Long Beach and two inches of snow stood in their way. Douglas Watt was the hero in his final game, scoring a first quarter touchdown on, as Res Gestae 1934 described it, “a long, spectacular run” of 50 yards. It was the only offense the Brookers would need as the quality of play rapidly degenerated in the difficult conditions. With the victory Stony Brook’s weekend warriors finished with a 4-3-1 record.
