FOOTBALL Mr. Frethy, our head coach, after working with the 1940 foot- ball squad for several weeks, predicted a successful season. The boys were all enthusiastic to beat their last year's record and proved it by playing the best football that has been seen at East Huntingdon for several years. They showed their gridiron ability not by the number of games won, but by the first downs made and total points scored against their opponents. On September 20, a group of determined boys lined up on our home field against the strong Washington Township eleven. East Hunt- ingdon was outweighed seven pounds to a man and handicapped by several fumbles made in pay territory. In spite of these obstacles Washington was held to one touchdown, the game ending, Washington 6-East Huntingdon 0. The Dunbar eleven journeyed to our field on September 28. This game proved to be East Huntingdon's first win of the season. The Bulldogs started their victorious drive in the first period and played most of the game on Dunbar territory, giving their opponents little chance to score. The Dunbar team put up a good defense. but could not keep us from scoring when the East Huntingdon eleven began using their many trick plays. The game ended with a 24-0 victory for our team. A week later also on our field, Franklin Township gave us little competition. East Huntingdon rolled up an amazing total of 14 first downs to Franklin's 3, leaving her little to do but punt. Our boys baffled the visiting eleven with many fast plays, and defeated them by a large score of 32-0, A game with Pitcairn was secured to fill the open date on October 11. Pitcairn's efficient aerial attacks were countered by the constant alertness of the East Huntingdon gridironers. East Huntingdon drove from her own forty yard line to the opponent's four-yard line. Here their stone wall held our boys for four downs and we lost the ball. The rest of the game proved uneventful and ended in a scoreless tie. We journeyed over the hill on October 25 to meet Mount Pleasant, one of our traditional rivals. Our boys had hopes of putting Ramsay out of the running for the league championship. Although East Huntingdon fought hard, her hopes were smothered early in the game, as the Bobcats forged ahead to a score of 25-0. On November 1, we met Fairchance on a very wet field. lt was impossible for either team to make much headway. Due to the Bulldogs' superiority in punting we defeated the Fairchance eleven by a score of 13-0. The final game of the season was played on November 9, with Scottdale. This was a very hard fought game with the opposing team in the lead from start to finish. The East Huntingdon eleven ended its season by being defeated 20-0. 21
