1930 THE ?ION66R 1930 of Qinaffzb Daifznaifszn-ai -in na? sting? falnaiffainai :ad Ja? Q33 FootbaH 1929-1930 Immediately after the school session had begun in September there was call for football candidates. Again as for baseball the call was answered with enthu- siasm. VVe held our first regular, practiceon the local athletic field Where the boys had a real taste of football. Old outfits were given to the boys, the new ones not being issued until the regular squad was picked. For the first time in the history of Fort Lee High a football team of its own was to make its bow, but not until at least three weeks of very hard training had made the players ready for the tossings of the game. The first game was played on our local field. As one of the team remembers it, VVith the sidelines swarming with people and the cheer leaders raising their voices to rally the fans' spirits, it is no wonder that we became more nervous and excited. The fellows were green, comparatively. There were the big Ramsey pluggers, who to us at that time seemed ever so great, greater than can really be accorded them. But we fought for old Alma Mater with all our hearts. It was after the first few games that the team really became hard and cruel, as one might say.

This year a commendable record has been made by the team that has worked hard for it. 'Immediately after the football season had closed practice was ca-lled. Most of last year's regulars came out for the team, therefore making signal and forma- tion practice the main objects of training. The team had a slow start but it soon pulled itself out of the hole and began to winfconsecutively in streaks. There were many interesting games witnessed by the studentssand the many outside fans that the team finally acquired. The fellows finished the season about the middle of March and were satisfied with the thought that they had drone a good season's work. - The schedule was as follows: Fort Lee Nyack Fort Lee Cliffside Fort Lee Pearl River Fort Lee Leonia Fort Lee Alumni Fort Lee Dumont Fort Lee Holy Family Fort Lee Haverstraw - Fort Lee Leonia Fort Lee Cliffside Fort Lee St. Aloysius Fort Lee Nyack Fort Lee Holy Family Fort Lee Congers Fort Lee Teaneck Fort Lee Paterson Fort Lee Pearl River Fort Lee Dumont Fort Lee Hoboken Academy Fort Lee Paterson For: Lee Park Ridge Fort Lee Congers Fort Lee Teaneck Fort Lee St. Cecelia Fort Lee Hoboken Academy
