.:t Joe Bisign .1 Ram tries to end. j ear-hug from two .ijm iacklers as unidentified And now for our next play FOOTBALL •..• Harrison ' s able ccwraptami Pete Waitneight and Don Jordan meet with coaches Zimnnerman and Wilcox. Harriton ' s Varsity Gridders, who were expected to improve a weak inaugural season log of 1-5-1, experienced the frequent woes of a teann in its early years of development. Despite the 0-6 record against Suburban II opponents, there were some outstanding per- formances by individuals, such as the vicious tackling of Kurt Leneis, and the powerful running of halfback Don Jordon. Much credit must also be given to the strong leadership of co-captains Don Jordan and Pete Waitneight. Losing their opener to the Conestoga Pioneers, 25-6, the Rams iourneyed to Radnor where the Raiders were vic- torious, 35-8. Marple-Newtown, playing at home, won 19-6, and the powerful Ridley Township Green Raiders, one of the finest teams in the suburban area, swamped the Rams, 60-6. Springfield subdued the Highlanders next bv a score of 20-0. With four games remaining, the Harriton outlook was somewhat hopeful, but the team lost to Plymouth Whitemarsh, 43-19; Cheltenham, 13-6; Upper Merion 20-0, and Penncrest, 19-0. The Junior Varsity was more successful. They won their last game against Penncrest, 7-0, to post a seasonal mark of 1-7. FIRST ROW: B. Denenberg, E. t o e, B. Rice, S. Hickman, P. Waitneight, C.

The soccer team completed a suc- cessful season with a 2-0-6 slate. This commendable record was accomplished with only six seniors on the Varsity squad. The prospects for next year are very bright, since ten of eleven Varsity starters are returning. During the year the line was sparked by Dick Altschuler and his very effective dribbling, plus Eds Fleming and his bullet-like shots at the goal. The half-backs were ignited by captain Joe Miller, while the fullbacks were kindled by novice John Jackson. The goal was ably defended by Jerry Estes and sophomore Mike Kirschner, who allowed only 17 goals to be scored on Harriton in league competition, while the Rams scored 28. Encouraged by more than five hundred spectators, the Harriton soccer season had its highlight in the game with Lower Merion. The result was a one-to-one tie with Fleming scoring the Rams goal in the last two minutes of play. Dick Altschuler and captain Joe Miller were chosen for the Suburban League Team at the season ' s conclusion. John Jackson was voted the most improved player and was awarded the hialveston Cup. Joe Miller was voted the most valuable player. Captain Joe Miller receives the game ball from coach Ted Copeland after completing the final game of a successful season.
