D FRIENDLY COMPETITION Coach Azar and Co-Captains Munley and Seal are deserving of much praise for the type of team, and the quality of sportsmanship, that prevailed throughout the season. Manager Frank Vosburg, and his assistants and Trainer Henry Shields also filled their posts capably and aided the team in every way possible. All in all, the season was a good one -- the best enjoyed to-date, both in the percentage of games Won, and in the benefits the players and the school at large derived from the sport. All eyes are on the coming year, for with most of the team returning hopes are high that in the coming season the present enviable record will be surpassed, and the Seminary loss be avenged.

,fl Za Captain-elect Samuel Coccodrilli. 2nd Coach George Turk Azar. Football at Keystone started about two weeks before the opening of school, when approximately thirty-five men reported to chief men- tor, George Turk Azar. The team had suffered heavily through graduation, and the backfield was almost entirely depleted. However, the incoming freshman class had among its members many out- standing ball carriers, and the deficiency was soon made up. For the first time in the history of the Iunior College, the school was able to place on the field a team with a line that averaged over l5O pounds. The team was also fortunate in having a backfield that was large and fast. The average weight of the line was l8O pounds, while the baclcfield weighed about 165 pounds. With the exception of the Wyoming Seminary game, the team had the most successful season ever played by a Keystone eleven. The team won all of its games with the exception of the Seminary and Susquehanna contests, which it lost and tied respectively. The re- maining games were won by a good margin.

Scoring for the LaPlume team was done by Sam Cocodrilli, who plunged over the line for the first tally, to be followed in the second half by Red Wallace, who received a long pass and scored the second touchdown standing up. lack Munley tried both conversions but failed to make good on the second attempt. In the only scoreless game played all season, Keystone perform- ed magnificently against opposition that was very strong. The Little Giants not only held their opponents scoreless, but kept the ball in enemy territory most of the afternoon. The game was played in the rain. The outstanding players for Keystone were Dick Fish and lud Beemer, both linernen, who ably blocked all line bucks and averted many scoring attempts. In a scoring spree that lasted all afternoon, the Keystone eleven easily defeated the lone Teachers College on the schedule. Scoring for Keystone was by Cocodrilli who went over three times: lones, who scored twice, and Dewey, Seamans, and Consagra, who scored once apiece. The laurels in this game go to the backfield.
