Lehman's gridders set a standard to be striven for in years to come. Outshining but not outscoring their lnteracademic loop rivals, the Lehmanites battled to a scoreless tie with Germantown Academy in the opener for the second consecutive year. Radnor was taken into camp, l2-0, and the following week saw Lower Merion reverse the charges, rolling up a like score. Bryn Athyn and Lansdowne both proved easy victims. In the interim between these last two matches, the Panthers held a big Upper Darby eleven to a scoreless tie. Cheltenham was the only drawback to the Upidah's perfect season as they won all their other games. The climax of the season was the Abington turkey day classic. Still smarting from last year's trouncing, Cheltenham rebounded to outplay and defeat a favored Abington eleven, l3-6. Although the Chelts led throughout the first half, the Galloping Ghosts evened the score at 6-6 in the third quarter. With two and one-half min- utes remaining in the final chukker, the Panthers snatched the game from the fire and gained sweet revenge. A buck pass from the ten-yard stripe carried the Chelts into pay dirt. Thirty-two

HELTENHAM Pantherettes dribbled their way through a very successful l938 hockey season under the careful coaching of Miss Grace O. Hunter. The largest turnout in the history of hockey at Cheltenham caused Miss Hunter to establish four teams with still plenty of subs to spare. Captain Helen Rabiger led her girls to the opening game with Ellis College, which spelled a victorious l0-2 victory for the blue and gold lassies, This was followed by another victory, with Upper Merion the unhappy vicitim, and then a third triumph over Norris- town with a score of 7-l. For the first time in three years, Cheltenham hockeyettes bowed in defeat when Upper Merion defeated them by one slim point. Not allowing this to discourage them, the girls plowed on to defeat Jenkintown in their next game for the first time in three years, then drove on to defeat Lower Merion 2-0. Another disappointing defeat followed at the hands of Spring- field, when the Pantherettes bowed with a score of 3-O. The season, however, terminated with a grand victory over Abington by a score of 3-l. Most of the great strength of the team rested in the forward line, where most of the action took place, even in the losing games. High scorer for the season was Captain Helen Rabiger, with I9 points to her credit, followed by Schieber who scored IO times. All-suburban honors for l938 went to Rabiger, Ancker, Fisher, and Honeysett, while Hitchings earned a berth on the second team.
