' ike Se. e z5on DESPITE the fact that the size of the squad made it impossible to even hold scrimmages at practice, the Flying Dutchmen fought their way through one of the gamest schedules in recent years. Faced with the smallest squad — eighteen — in the athletic history of the school, Coach Frock molded together five upper- classmen and seven freshmen into a scrappy, well-organized machine which gave Valley a more-than-successful season. The first game saw the inexperienced Blue and White, under the leadership of newly-elected captain Matala, put up a terrific defensive battle against the heavy, veteran Bucknell squad, only to lose in the last four minutes of play 7-0. Outplaying their opponents in every department, the Dutchmen proved in their game with Moravian that they had everything they needed except scoring punch. In spite of the fact that they ran circles around the boys from Bethlehem throughout, the game ended in a scoreless tie. The Iron Men of Lebanon Valley journeyed to the great city to tackle C. C. N. Y. After a slow first half, our boys ran rough- shod over their opponents to roll up a 36-0 figure. Fighting every inch of the way, the Valley lost a tough one to the highly-touted Muhlenberg Mules by the margin of a touchdown. The Boys in Blue were a bit over- confident when they arrived for their game with Drexel, and consequently the half ended 12-0 in favor of the Dragons. Revamping themselves, the Dutchmen came back to register a Merriwell finish by scoring a third touchdown on a long pass in the final three seconds, to win 19-12. The Homecoming Game with Juniata was a run-away affair as L. V. C. scalped the Indian for the Dads to the tune of 27-0. The Valleyites then humbled their greatest rival, Albright, for the second straight year. The half-time score stood at 6-6, but an unforgettable 70-yard sprint by a freshman back put the game in the bag for the Blue and White, and they won 13-6. Experiencing a noticeable let-down, the Flying Dutchmen closed the season with their poorest showing. The P. M. C. cadets downed them 6-0 on a first-half pass. Sparked by veteran Wasilewski, the forward wall consisted of such performers as Kania, Devlin. Rotzinger, MiKionis, Keeler, Donan, Mahoney, Cornelius, and Tatol, while Matala, Harriger, Maley, Dorazio, Shupper, and McGraw alternated at the backfield posts. 24
