Coach Peterson opened his second sea- son at Altoona by switching the single wing and straight T formations to the A and split T formations which proved to be successful throughout the season. ln ending with a 6- 2-l record it can be seen that there was much improvement over last yea-s team which lost all nine ganes. A new trophy was added with Altoona win- ning the conference for the first year. Out- standing was the fact that Altoona placed 8 men on the three conference teams. Louie Simmons, George Murrow, Ray Wolver, Gerald Soper, and Phil Crabtree placed on the first team with Roy Crcbtree on the second and Ted Diehl and Dan Brady on honorable men- tion. Much of the credit for a successful sea- son goes to our tough line. Altoona 26 - Maxwell 0 Showing considerable improvement over last yea' the Ramblers came home with their first victory by piling up 393 ycrds against their opponents. Lee Crabtree scored three times on runs of 35, l9, and 5 yds. and Phil Crabtree scored the other on a 4l ycrd run. Roy Crabtree to Dm Brady and Gerald Soper for two conversions.
