MARBLEHEAD – There are so many people who have worn the Big Blue, or the red and black, of the Marblehead-Swampscott football rivalry that it had to be a tough choice finding one truly representative of all its history.Barry Gallup, in many ways, might have been the perfect choice.The former Swampscott High great – whose team actually only won once in the three years he took part in the rivalry that celebrates its 100th anniversary at Blocksidge Field – was the featured speaker last night at the Old Timers dinner put on jointly by the Marblehead and Swampscott gridiron clubs. And when it comes to local lore – both during and after his playing days – Gallup knows all the stories.And he had them alternately laughing out loud and quietly contemplating the deeper meanings of football and athletics during his address.He made sure everybody knew that Marblehead great Donald “Toot” Cahoon – currently the head hockey coach at the University of Massachusetts – grew up in Swampscott before moving to Marblehead in the ninth grade.”He won a national championship with BU,” Gallup said, “and then went to coach for (current BU coach) Jack Parker. Parker asked him to talk to the team about his favorite memories, thinking he might talk about the national championship, and instead, Cahoon talks about throwing a touchdown pass to beat the Big Blue.”You stole him,” Gallup said to the Marbleheaders in the crowd. “But we had a guy, Myron Stone, he was Stan’s (Bondelevitch) Director of Real Estate. How do you think we got all those guys, like the Jaurons and the Toners, to move into Swampscott?”Gallup, a record-setting wide receiver at Boston College, was one of the best recruiters the Eagles ever had.”But I grew up two houses down from Dick Jauron and couldn’t get him to go to BC,” Gallup said. “I grew up down the street from Bill Adams. He and I used to get into fights playing basketball. Dick Lynch (former Swampscott assistant) had to come down and break us up. And I couldn’t get Billy Adams to come to BC. He went to Holy Cross.”Gallup said that Lynch and Bondelevitch – next to his father, Earl (a former Swampscott policeman) – were the two most influential men in his life.When he left BC for a spell in the 1990s, going to Northeastern as the coach and athletic director, “Stan drove all the way to Colgate to attend my first game.”I asked Stan to address the team,” Gallup said, “and if you knew Stan, you knew his speech. He gave that speech, and we won. And I gave him the game ball ? right after my players gave me the game ball.”Gallup also recounted how he, as a recruiter and scout, went to the Framingham-Natick game one Thanksgiving in 1980 and saw “this little guy from Natick running all over the field.”Later, he went to the house of Bill Flutie and recruited his son, Doug, to play at Boston College.”As I was leaving,” Gallup said, “Bill Flutie came up to me and said, ‘You have no idea what you’re getting.’ I thought to myself, ‘Yeah, I do. I’m getting a pretty good football player.’ Four years later, he won (the) Heisman Trophy.”The Swampscott gridiron club took the opportunity of the 100th observance of the Swampscott-Marblehead rivalry to announce co-winners for the Monsignor John “Speed” Carroll Award for community service. Stone was one of the co-winners. The others were Ann and George Riddell.
