Football In looking back over the football record made by our team this year, we find that we had the most successful season in several years. Starting the first game of the year with no-thing more than raw recruits, the Cokers ekeld out a 0-0 tie with Georges Township. A thrilling play happened in the Mt. Pleasant game when Johnny Jaros caught a forward pass from Howard Whipkey to race for twenty yards and a touchdown. Against German Township Connellsville displayed its great driving power by a sustained march down the field from the 50-yard line to make the only score of the game. This drive clearly showed the great power of the line plays with Ne-will doing mos-t of the ball carrying. The Scottdale and Greensburg games were both great games this year. In the Scottdale game, Scottdale outplayed the Cokers dur- ing the first half. The score as the half ended was 12-0 in favor of the Blue and White. However, our boys came back undaunted and turned in a touchdown. Almost in the last second of play, John Jaros caught a pass from Whipkey to make the score tied. Soliday then booted the ball between the uprights for the extra point to win. A highly trained Greensburg team came over to swamp Connells- ville. Seemingly t.he plans went wrong as the Cokers put up such resis- tance that the Brown and White were able to annex only a single touch- down. Cle-arly the high spots in the year were holding Greensburg to a 7-0 score and the whirlwind, last minute drive to conquer Scottdale, 13-12. The most decisive victory of the year was a 38-0 victory over South Union. Dunbar came to Connellsville determined to trim the Cokers. Dun- bar scored first and then Connellsville. Dunston intercepted a Black and Red pass and raced down the field for the winning touchdown. The jinx was broken after a period of eight years.
