Munroe, C, Ernst. lofdaf lam On the twenty-third of August, forty-four candi- dates were greeted by coaches Martin Hubley and Marlin Kessler at the first football practice of the sea- son. During the next five weeks, in spite of the ex- tremely hot weather, both players and coaches worked hard at calisthentics, blocking, tackling, and running plays. When the Saturday afternoon ot the first game rolled around, the West Reading football team that traveled to the Coplay gridiron was a well- conditioned and well-trained machine. In the initial game of the season, the Cowboys were edged out by Coplay, 7-6. During the first quarter, the Maroon and Steel gridders took an early lead, when quarterback Dave Schlegel passed to Milt Hartzell for West Reading's first and only score. From there on, the game was a see-saw affair, until the last quarter, when Coplay pushed over a touchdown and converted the extra point which was to be the margin of victory. A week later the Cowboys reversed the Coplay score, by repulsing West Pottsgrove '7 to 6. The Cow- men were trailing until the last five minutes, when Carl Schnellenbach crashed into the end zone follow- ed by Skip Loser with the extra point. On October 9, the Hubleyrnen returned to their home field and upset Wilson by a 26 to '7 margin, to avenge last week's mauling from Boyertown C33-71. Heckler, Grab, Loser, and Schnellenbach tallied for West Reading. Hapless Manheim Borough were the next victims of the Maroon and Steel gridders. Every member on the squad saw action in the 5l-I4 rout. Annexing their fourth win in six starts, the Cow- boys edged a scrappy Shillington eleven, I9-l3. It was a hard-fought battle from beginning to end. At halftime West Reading was on the short end of a I3-6 score. West Reading rebounded from their setback of the previous week CMuhlenberg, 40-61, and defeated North Coventry by an I8-7 score. This was the first time that the Wildcats were beaten by the Cowboys. The last game of the season was the traditional 'lbattle of the boroughs with Wyomissing. 'In the first period both teams scored seven points, with Dick Grab doing the honors for West Reading. In the second stanza Skip Loser hit pay-dirt, and the hfllf ended, I4-I4. In the last two minutes, Ammon Heck- ler bucked over from the two yard line, for the last and winning touchdown. The West Reading gridders completed the season with a record of six victories and three setbacks. The seniors on the squad are: Bill Focht, Dick Grab, Dale Graeff, Gordon Greene, Milt Hartzell, Am- mon Heckler, Conrad Hiester, Phil Hoeffer, Guenther Ianssen, lim Mengel, Benny O'Neill, Don Ratajczak, Dave Schlegel, Theodore Stoudt, Iordon Straub, Alan Williams and lim Willwerth.

Playing eight league games and three extras, West Reading lassies clinched the crown. Of eleven games, they Won seven, dead-locked two, and lost two. ln the opening game, the Cowgirls met their tough- est opposition-Mohnton. Tilting the Panthers 2-O set the lassies off to a successful season. The following game was played on Mt. Penn's new field, and our girls brought home another victory. The results of the remaining games were as follows: West Reading versus the Wilson Prexies, O-U, Muhlen- berg at West Reading, l-U, West Reading downed the Muhls, 3-U, West Reading dead-locked with Mohnton, l-ly Wilson bowed to West Reading, 2-Og West Read- ing at Mt. Penn, 2-U, West Reading host to Shillington, 3-U, and West Reading at Shillington, our only league loss, 0-1. The future aspirants showed their ability in the final game. The Cowgirls were only scored on twice by their opponents. This was a credit to the strong defense of Coach McCarthy's team. Constant practice, determination, and fine sports- manship brought the Cowgirls to the top of the lad- der. Not only did they play in Berks County but in Chester County as well, I-lere they met the North Coventry Wildcats, who handed them a l-0 setback. Barbara Batdorf, captain, Claire Bailey, Mary Drehs, Barbara Hartzell, Myrna McGrath, Beth Mer- get, Katharine Spangenberg, and Barbara Wolf were the senior members of the team,
