LEASE HISN NE NIAIER GOODMAN BILLINGER STAILEY ESTERLY Akrz BERTOLET FRIIEDMAN LEIBY NVEILER Under the direction of their new coach, John Dietrich, the Red and Black eleven brought to Reading High the most successful foot ball season in years. The 1926 team was a team of which to be proud in many respects. Under the new system of coaching, every player learned to be a clean-cut athlete, and each player was taught the value of fighting to the last minute. Again, their team spirit enabled them to conquer many strong opponents. Perhaps the finest battle was staged at Lebanon. Cutplaying their opponents through the game, Reading was able to score only in the last minute of play. The only serious injury oc- curred to Sammy Goodman, Reading High's all-around athlete. Early in the season he was injured and confined to bed ever since. Nlfith Stark back as captain of the 1927 team and a wealth of material left over, next year should usher in another successful season.
