' -' I ' 'V Y' - F V' I 'T I W G C--V Football Review N looking over the football season of 1907 we must stop and consider that it has been a hoodoo year everywhere-even at Dobbs Ferry. When we look over the injured list, we find entries, as follows : Captain McCreery, torn ligaments, Voorhees, broken collar bone, Eagle, muscle bruises in leg, Walker, muscle bruises, Cullman, broken wrist. With a half-disabled team we managed to win five games out of eight-not so bad, after all. First, White Plains High School went down to defeat with a score of 5-o. Although the fellows were lacking in team work, they did very well for the first game. The second game was won from Horace Mann, 11-o. Then the team piled up twenty-two points against Cayuga School, while they were unable to score. Peekskill was a hard-fought game, but we pulled it out of the fire by one point, 12-rr. But, like Pyrrhus, a few more such victories would have ruined us, for it was in this game that Captain McCreery was hurt. It was due partly to this and to Voorhees' broken collar bone, that the next game was lost to Poly. Prep., 16-o. This was no disgrace, however, as they were very much heavier than we were. 'I he less said about the Yonkers game the better. It is sufficient to know that Dr. Mackenzie compelled McCreery to take our team off the field, because of some troubles with the officials. And the Holbrook game! The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It was the pluckiest, cleanest, best fought game that was ever played on our field-perhaps on any field. Our fellows all played fine ball and the whole team deserves great credit, even if the score was badly against us. Score, 21-O. Many of our players deserve special credit, such as Eagle, who went into the game when he ought to have been in bed, and Walker, who was very lame, to say nothing of Cullman, just recovering from a broken wrist. The next and last game was with Hackley, and here all our interest centered, as they were reported to have a better team than usual. In this game, as in most of the games, the fellows played their hardest, though possibly not their best, ball. The game was interesting in the extreme as the score showsf 6-4. In the first half we made the only touchdown and afterwards Hackley scored a drop kick, after repeated attempts. Special mention should be made of Walker's playing in this game, and the whole team showed that they were a gritty eleven. We expected to wind up the season with a victory over Mohegan, but the game had to be cancelled on account of a heavy fall of snow. The school extends its heartiest thanks to the team of '07, and to the scrub and to the unfailing efforts of Mr. Smith, and wishes great success for next year tcE,Captain Ewing and the team of ,o8, hoping they may have as good a team and better luck than that o o7.
