WILLIAM STRONG, Captain - FRANK MCCAFFREY,' Coabh RQSPFCTS for a successful football season during 1911 were bright from the start. Seven veterans from the team of 1910 returned to school. 'With these veterans as a basis, Coach FrankMcCaffrey, end on the Fordham College team of 1908, and end. on the All-American second team of that year, proceeded to mold' a team. The vacant positions were filled by the new material, which consisted mainly of members of the second team of 1910, who had received their preliminary training from Frank F. 0'N eil, coach of the second team. Every man 'filled his position with the pluck and vim that characterized the general play during the ,season of 1911. The season opened on Qctober 7, when Captain Strong ledihis team up to Peekskill to play the. strong team of 'Peekskill Military Academy. In a hard-fought game in which Blodgett, 'Haas ,S and Blenio played well for Commerce, we came out the victors by the score of IO to 6.9 Our next game was with Boys'- High, our ancient hoodoo, at Saratoga Field, Brooklyn. Boys' High lived up to her reputation, and although we were by far the superior team, they managed to defeat us by the scoreof 3 to 0. This defeat did not discourage the team, and when, on October 28, we played Stuyvesant we defeated them in a driving rainstorm by the score of 21 to 0. We followed up our victory over Stuyvesant by a v-ictory over Erasmus, last year's champions of Greater New York, by a score of I5 to 0. ,In this game Tow showed that although he ,weighed but one hundred and twenty pounds he could ablyitfill the position of' quarter back. We played, Morris on November17,'Election Day, at American League Park. Mo,rris drew Hrst blood by scoring on. an intercepted forward pass, but we came back with plenty of vim and defeated-them by a score o-f I7 to 6. The .Saturday following the Morris game we went over to Washington Park, Brooklyn, and played Manual Training High School. Wegotthe jump on the Brooklyn boys right from the start, Tow carrying the ball over the line in the first quarter, and in the second quarter Blodgett drop-kicked an easy field goal from the' 47 ,
