D. ON THE GRIDIRON 3 Wins 7 I-05565 Before most people were even thinking about foot- ball, approximately ninety boys reported for their first practice on a sizzling hot August morning. Coach Yukica was soon to size up the season by saying that due to lack of size the Rams would need plenty of hustle to keep up with such a powerful schedule. The Rams, working out of the wing T, spe- cialized in power plays off tackle, and a variety of passes. Realizing some of their faults after scrim- maging john Harris and Hershey, the Rams worked very hard to improve the timing of their plays and fundamentals in blocking and tackling. With the start of school, practices were cut to one a day instead of two, and soon the first game of the season was upon them. The calm before the storm, right before the William Penn game

D. 13-WILLIAN PENN 40 An aroused Tiger eleven defeated the Rams 40-13 for the first time in C. D.'s three year history.
