FOOTBALL 1 lull tlie leaves have turned to a golden hue and the i,iiiil fall air causes the blood to pulsate throu ' li the veins of men, there is a peculiar, un- cxplainahlc something that steals into a fellow ' s heart. Accompanying this something like its shadow comes the thud of a i)igskiii as it is met by the toe of a shoe. The longing for action became evident when the initial call for football candidates was made. Manager Frymire was called ujwn to deliver every available uniform in the school. Men were anxious , . to don their suits. So they journeyed to Mount r | 1 3 )lympus where work was started to mold together — ' -- ' a strong team. They had a real task before them — the sched- ule was the hardest our school had undertaken in a long time ; the team was composed of raw material and the candidates were unusually light. They had Coach Booth, a past master in the coaching game, and Assistant Coach Jones to aid them in their struggles. The team sutiered greatly from injuries during the season. Ray Hawkins, captain and tackle, played the season with a recently fractured leg which inter- fered considerably with his playing. Army Keller, quarterback, sustained a broken bone in the hand during the West Chester game which kept him from playing for the remainder of the season. Clarence Ruch, center, suffered a badly sprained ankle in one of the early games. This handicapped his work through- out the season. Delmore, a guard, was forced out of the game with a frac- tured leg sustained in scrimmage. Zimmerman, halfback, sutTered a wrenched ligament in the liack. Besides these there were many minor injuries. In spite of all this the team enjoyed a fairly successful season. Ray Hawkins, whose competency and ability as a leader of men was un- questioned, piloted his team masterfully. When football season is again ushered in, we should find Bloomsburg represented by a team of veterans led by the captain-elect for 192S, Alexander Kraynack, a man worthy of the confidence placed in him by his fellow teammates. The season opened on (Jctober 1 with Kutztown Normal as our opponents on Mount )lympus and we won by a score of 30-0. The following Saturday Stroudsburg was our guest and we were defeated in a close game by the score 6-0. Then came a disastrous trip to West Chester where we were defeated and many of our boys were injured and forced out of the game for the remainder of the season. Keystone came here and we were handed another setback. The team journeyed to Kingston where they met their ancient rivals, Wyoming Seminary, and they were pushed back another notch. Lock Haven was next and we de- feated them 12-6, but lost on the following Saturday at Mansfield. We finished up by humbling Dickinson Seminary Ijy a score of 7-6.
