VARSITY FOOTBALL The opening of the i936 football season found more than sixty boys report- ing to Coach Bruce Fisher for practice. Hit by heavy losses through the l936 graduation, it was a very difficult task to rebuild a working combination. After eleven practices, however, a versatile eleven was prepared to play Boswell in the first game of the season. The well directed choice of plays coupled with hard :run- ning and fine passing completely baffled the opponent, defeating them 29-0. In the second game, Ferndale was edged out by Dubois, although the Jackets out- played them l5-5 in downs but lacked the drive at crucial moments to earn a vic- tory. Undaunted by this undc-erved defeat, the boys went to work in earnest and took over an old rival, Franklin. The score does not indicate how decisively the Jackets outplayed the Blue Jays, as at least three touchdowns were called back because of penalties. On October l, the Ferndale team gave Wiridber their most difficult fight of the season. It was a moral victory for Ferndale in that our boys were pitted against superior weight and power. Eight days later the 21-0 victory over 'West- mont was a costly one, for injuries took their toll, and from that game on the eleven never regained full strength. The next game with Fort Hill of Cumber- iand, Maryland, was necessarily called off because of rainy weather conditions. The third defeat of the season was administered at the hands of Conemaugh in the last minute of play. Bringing the football activities to a climax, Octo- ber 29, the Ferndale High Yellow Jackets completely over-powered the Ebens- burg eleven on a frozen field at the County Seat. ln the last game, the Jackets lost by two touchdowns to Allegany High of Cumberland, Maryland, one of the smoothest working elevens to appear at the Point Stadium this season.
