DAVE YELLE OF TAUNTON
Eag'les Sorely Miss, 'Se~vices of Ailing ,'\tellar Guard, Taunton-ian Dave- Yelle By Frank Trond Cited as "Lineman of the Day" after the 23-0 Boston College rout of Cinciimati, stellar guard David F. Yelle of Taunton has been sidelined since the E'agles' 1961 football debut, when he frnctured two bones at the base of his spine. Coach Ernie Hefierle's happiness over the successful Be opener - while' tempered by news that his Junior guard was out of action indefinitely - WUIl short-lived as the Eagles were whipped in successive weeks by Northwestern, 45-0; by Houston, 21-0; and Detroit, 20-3. Back in Clasa The son of Mr. and' Mrs. Armand J. Yelle of 82 School Street, '11aunton, Dave started in at 'least four BC grid outings as a Sophomore. Injured during the Cincinnati encounter Dave, who stands 5 feet, lllh inches tall and weighs a hefty 215 pounds, nevertheless played in most o~ the Eagles' opener. When the inj ury became more painful towards the end of, the game, Dave took a seat on the bench. After being inactive a short while, he was unable to move and was carried from the bench on a stretcher. Dave spent four days at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Brighton, undergoing treatment for two broken bones between discs near the oose of his spine. He had to wear a brace for a time, but that has since' been removed and he is now back attending ,classes at BC and is "rarin' to go." Full Scholarship The rugged Easles' guard has. already 'started running and doing light exercises, and should be seeing action before long. A cum laude graduate of Coyle High School in 1958, Dave s~arred for Jim Burns-coached elevens as a tackle. His schoolboy play was good enough to earn him a full football scholarship to Boston College., _During his last two years at Coyle, Dave 'was eo-captain of the Warrior gridders and his outstanding performances in the Bristol County League are still recalled by many. Business Course A shot putter, he was also a member of Coyle High track teams. Once, in an annual meet at Danvers, he set a' record by getting off a mighty hea~e ~ more than 50 feet.
