VARSITY FUUTBALL The 1952 edition of the Kittanning Wildcats came up with one of the classiest elevens in the valley. Beaten four times by one touchdown and other bad breaks, the Cats rolled up more yard- age than any of their opponents. Speed was a big factor in this powerful offense as was notice- able when linemen advanced downfield to throw key blocks enabling the backs to score. The unity and teamwork shown on the field was the result of weeks of practice under the directorship of Mr. Burton and Mr. Shaul. On September 12, the Cats took the field for their first game of the campaign. Kittanning held a decided edge in statistics, but lost 8-0 on a touchdown in the first quarter. This was scored as a result ofa fumble. The Crimson Tide also scored a safety in the fourth period. After playing a scoreless first period with Indiana, the Cats scored on a pass play early in the second quarter. The Indians, using breaks to pull the game out of the fire, won after spoting the Wildcats a 7-point halftime lead. In a close game, the Cats couldn't push a second TD over the goal line. The Punxsy Chucks scored in the first and third periods, while hold- ing KHS to one touchdown in the second. Neither team could make an extra point. After dropping the first three games, the Cats bounced back to defeat Rimersburg 26-6. The scrappy gridders from Kittanning opened up with a powerful offense that gained over 409 yards. Rimersburg scored its lone tally on the third play of the game on a pass that clicked for 72 yards and paydirt. From that point on, KHS took complete command of the contest. The following week, the Wildcats took the field against the powerful and undefeated North Huntington team. Playing one of their better games of the year, the Cats bumped the Bulldogs and remained a strong contender for Class A laurels. As the final gun sounded, the score- board showed Kittanning 19, North Huntingdon 14.
