FOOTBALL Eddystone ended the 1946 football season with only one victory. The line was heavy and the backtield capable, but they did not seem able to coord- inate. The Stoners always showed a first quarter spark, but it soon died down if they were halted. In only one game did the team show their true ability to score, but in this case they were defeated bythe opposition. Starting their season at Collingdale, the Stoners were beaten convincingly. Downingtown was the next foe, in a game which proved to be both exciting and heartbreaking. Next Glen-Nor, journeyed to our field and carried home a victory. Undeiected by three straight losses, the Stoners rose to their great- est height for the season, defeating Darby in an upset game. In a high scoring game, Eddystone was outscored by Clifton Heights. A powerful Chester squad beat Coach Marion's boys in a game in which the Stoners held off Chester until the final quarter. Prospect Park, our next foe, capitalized on a blocked kick and an intercepted pass to pull through to victory. Ridley Park, having one of the greatest seasons, ran rough shod over Eddystone. Winding up the season with Ridley Township in the Annual Turkey Day game, the Stoners proved to be easy prey for the Raiders. The final outcome found the Raiders holding the victory and the Stoners holding the Oil Can. Here's wishing the Stoners greater success next season.
