Leather meets pigskin and the game is un. The Coils have the ball in their own territory and the ball is snapped back to Miller, He backs up and holds the ball, as if to pass, but Schaefer, coming from his end position like o streak of lightning, smoothly takes the ball from Miller and dodges down the field, evading tockler after tackler, dragging a few more obstinate ones after him in his effort to cross that last white line, Finally, with the swiftness and agility of a leop- ard, he dodges the last tackler and speeds on for a touchdown--56 yardsl The frenzied mob in the stadium is hilarious, They cheer and shout, but imagine, if you can, their uproarious amazement and ioy when they see Schaefer again execute the same play. He eludes the some tacklers and slips past them all for a beautiful 38-yard run to a touchdown. As the game ends in a l2-6 victory for Collings- wood, the proud team sweeps Schaefer to willing shoulders and carries him to the showers. After that the Calls journey to Atlantic City and take the shore team into camp by a score of 9-O Le Sage captains the Panthers, Jakob's blocking of a kick and Schaefer's tackling the man behind his goal line provide the safety, while Beale converts after Marvin scores the six-pointer. . .4 , . f'f?s H:2 . , , , A , .

In addition to drilling at every football game, these able musicians broadcast over Station WCAM and present concerts during the year. Comes September 26, 1936, and one sees the results at the work of the football squad, the coaches, the band, and the bugle corps. A grand parade, including two bands, the Bugle and Drum Corps, the Collingswood American Legion, and twentyfone scout troops, opens the new stadium. Palmyra and Collingswood School bands perform nobly for the great masses tl-:ranging the athletic field for the game at the season. The enlarged stadium is now capable of seating 5000 spectators. The Calls, captained by James Spillane, pro- ceed to win from the Pals in their opening game. iSoan afterwards Spillane receives a chipped elbow which keeps him out of the game for most of the seasonl The score is 6-O. With Yhe flags flying, music playing and crowds cheering, the new stadium is dedituied. The second game is comparatively easy. Bill Miller, halfback, leads the boys in this l2-O vic- tory over Southern High of Philadelphia. As the season gets under way in this fine fash- ion, Howard Skeets Irvine, sometimes called the Knute Rockne of South Jersey, primes his team for the all-important game with Vineland. lThe Poultry Clan trimmed the Calls last year to the tune of I3-Ol A capacity crowd ot excited spectators jams the stadium. A cheer is given for Frank Jakob, tackle, who has been chosen captain. The whistle blows and the game starts. Neither team scares until late in the second period, when Vineland tallies the first points at the game. The visiting stand rises as a single body and cheers joyously while the huge stadium crowd utters not a word. The halt comes and goes and the game is nearly ended before things begin to pop. 9

Ross and Schaefer both are instrumental in con- tinuing the unbeaten record by catching passes over the goal line and defeating the Bridgetan eleven l3-7. Joe Didio, tackle, is the captain of the day. The Camden game starts the Collingswood sorrows. The Calls do not have as much pep and power as usual. Camden's only score comes in the last quarter when Ross, captain of the game, comes into the bcickfield to kick, Ward, of Cam- den, comes in and blocks the kick. lt rolls into the mob behind the end zone. Camden scares! The Calls continually threaten the Camden goal line, but fail to scare. The game ends in a 2-O defeat for the Coils, This is the first setback of the season. ln the Trenton game, the Calls unleash a new threat to the opponents in the person of Eddie Estlow. I-le runs like o deer, scoring on an eight-yard run around end. Miller tallies the last six-pointer, making the score l3-O. Schaefer captains the team.
