lq r Manager, STANLEY MORRIS Coach, WESLEY HACKMAN FOOTBALL FTER a lapse of three years, the Orange and Blue' Gridders came back into the limelight as champions of the Public High League. The most notable achievement of the season was the fact that the gridmen finished the Public High season undefeated and kept their goal-line uncrossedg a worthy achieve- ment indeed! They garnered nine consecutive league tilts in smashing their way to a championship, beating such aggregations as Central, three times champion, Over- brook, Gratz, Southern, Northeast, and Frankford. Two defeats blemished an almost perfect season. Both defeats came from the hands of non-league rivals viz.: W'est Catholic and Allentown. The Allen- town game was the opening fray and was lost by a 6-0 score on a last-minute for- ward pass. In a bitterly-contested game at the Phillies' Ball Park, and with the largest school-boy crowd that ever watched a game in Pennsylvania, 20,000 looking on, the Speedboys were downed, 9-0. The Burrs were a little too strong for the Orange and Blue. McFadden, Blue and White back, kicked a 33-yard field goal which was followed by the only touchdown of the game in the third period. Western did put on a spirited rally in the third and last quarters which netted about 65 yards, but they were stopped on the Burrs' 18-yard line. The game ended with forwards being flipped all over the held by Harrison and Peltz, but to no avail. From the championship squad, four men were placed on the All-Public High team viz.: Harrison, Peltz, L. Leonard, and Clark. Harry Harrison, stellar quarter- back, was named as a halfback on the all-scholastic team. Ray Peltz, Les Leonard, and Bill Leonard received honorable mention for the same team. Incidentally, Harrison is next year's captain. The following players were recipients of the varsity award and gold football as a token of the championship: Harrison, Donaldson, Rosenberger, Nannos, Peltz, Pitman, Bensinger, Clarke, Captain Schreep, Mackay, Howard, Lennon, L. Leonard, W. Leonard and Elberson. THE RECORD OF THE CLASS OF JUNE, 1933 Page 23
