A good number having turned out for each society, work was begun in earnest towards whipping the squads into some semblance of football teams. Again this year the Pythians worked under the able coaching of Mr. Garrett, while Mr. Kelbaugh took charge of the Olympians. The first game of the series was won by the Pythians, 7-0. Murphy played best in the backfield for the Pythians, while Ward was outstanding in the line. Hoagland, right end, was the only Olympian to show up well. The Pythians made it two straight by eking out a meager 6-0 victory. After scor- ing early in the last period by consistently-gaining line bucks, the Pythians found trouble in breaking up a desperate Olympian passing attack from Diggs and Harrell. A scoreless tie postponed the end of the series for another week. The Olympians displayed better football this game, but were threatened once each half by the Pythian buckets. The final game of the series resulted in a 12-0 victory for the Pythians. They outplayed their rivals throughout the game, and showed the scoring punch which they lacked the week before. Barr played excellent football for the Pythians, scoring both touchdowns. After the hnal society game of the season, the teams dropped their partisan rivalry and joined forces to form the All-Society. After a short week of practice together this group was matched against the 130-pound team, the outcome being a scoreless tie. The next game played by this aggregation was with the second varsity. Mr. Garrett's boys emerged victorious from this contest by the score of 13-0. The following week, however, the West Nottingham Academy varsity triumphed over them, 7-0. The final game of the season was played against the Gilman third team at Roland Park. Although the All-Society boys acquitted themselves most creditably throughout the contest, Gilman pushed the ball over the line at the end of the game, leaving the final score 12-9.

'F' The 1929 TRAIL as A . .ana Limited Weight Football HEN THE CALL for candidates of the 130-lb. football team was made, much good material reported to Coach Pat Ryan, who at once, started to build up one of the strongest limited-weight teams that has been seen here for several years. After a few weeks of practice the eleven scrimmaged the Olympians, who were easily superior. During the next few weeks the 130-pounders worked hard, and when they again scrimmaged the Olympians, they held them to a scoreless tie. The team next scrimmaged the Pythians, whom they held to a O-Q score. Under Coach Ryan's hard workouts the team steadily improved, and several times held the Pythians scoreless, while they consistently downed the Olympians. After the Pythians and Olympians had united into the All-Society, a game was held between them and the 130-pound gridders. To the surprise of the school the smaller and lighter team outplayed its heavier opponents, although there was no score. A little later in the season the plucky 130-pounders played their first outside game, with St. Paul, of Baltimore. The Tome team won by the score of 12-0. Pease and Pearson were outstanding, the former generalling the team in tip-top manner and the latteramaking many fine and spectacular runs. One week remained before the most important game, that with the Gilman fourth team. The team worked hard and steadily, but Gilman took advantage of one of the many breaks of the game, and scored the only touchdown on a recovered fumble. The Midget football team, under the able coaching of Mr. Page, enjoyed one of its most successful seasons of recent years. The team won all but one of the games played, and showed superior football throughout the season. The first game was with a pickup team from Port Deposit, which the Midgets beat by a safe margin. The next game, with Swarthmore, was more evenly matched, and the Tomesters emerged at the top of a 7-6 score. Zerby starred for the Midgets, scoring the touchdown and the Cxffa POIHK. A game with a Perryville team served as a primer for Gilman. Then came the final and long awaited game. The Roland Park opponents were heavier, and although the Tome boys displayed splendid playing, they were downekd by the Gilman gridders to the tune of 19-14. The entire game was hard fought by both teams, and the deciding score came in the last few minutes of play. Xu 'IF I Viv One Hundred and Nine
