U' L ockman 1' 5-X M550 ...tx enin Svttou Arvduia f 1' ' x - E Daley U Ldluno 3 In the opening game of the season on September 10th, our grid machine sub- merged Georges Township under the lights at the Water Street Stadium by a 19-0 count. One week later, Brownsville played host to a Fighting German Township team which threw a scare into the boys, but went home on the short end of a 14-7 score. The following week our black and white foeman from Redstone came over and cuffed and shoved our boys around for the greater part of the game. The cry of our squad must have been They shall not pass,', because four times the Redstoners were replaced in the shadow of the Brownie goal and each time when the downs were utilized, the ball rested just inches from touch down land. Late in the game with 220 seconds playing time remaining and Redstone ahead 6-0, the Brownie machine pushed over a touchdown to tie up the score. On the first day of October, the Charleroi cougars came to town and walked off with a 20-0 victory. Seven days later the team traveled to Monessen to help dedicate the new stadium, but returned home with a 24-6 defeat. The following week, October 15th, a Monongahela team came, saw and was con- quered by a 30-0 score. The upset of the season was staged on October 22nd, when a game Centerville team eked out a 6-0 score. The next week the Vikings hit the open road once again and got back to winning ways by submerging California Z5-0. In the last of their big six games on November 6th, the squad came through to sink Donora 12-0. 16
