Hlllllllll ....... In the opening encounter with Sayreville, Me' tuchen suffered its first defeat of the 1941 foot' ball season. Undismayed by the 19f6 defeat, the Bulldogs came back the following week with their teeth firmly sunken into a 7f6 victory over Thomas Edison. The first away game was with Rumson, which resulted in the Mets second loss of the season. The Bulldogs again became the underdogs by being on the wrong end of a 19fO score in the game at Leonardo. Even though the outcome of the Scotch Plains encounter was a thrilling OfO deadlock, it was chalked up as a win in the minds of those who witnessed this exciting spectacle, for Metuchen never gave the badly outfplayed Plainsmen a ghost of a chance to score. Due to bad weather conditions and no other possible open date, the Flemington game was finally cancelled. A rough and tumble scuffle in the disguise of a football game resulted in Highland Park def feating Metuchen, 1210. The following week produced the last and most thrilling game of Metuchen's football sea' son. Not only did the Bulldogs trounce Dunellen 15-7, but it was the finest game the Metuchen squad played all season. It was a fitting way for the team to end its season. Perhaps it was the team's way of expressing their appreciation of Mr. Killian's and Mr. George Muha's fine coaching. The captaining of the team was shared by Joseph Kohn and Bart Trokovich, both of whom did admirably well throughout the entire season. There was no captain named for the 1942 squad, for when the fall season rolls around again, each week will see a new captain for that particular game. Graduation this year will deal a crushing blow to Metuchen's football squad. The senior class saw eight of its members receive varsity letters, while the junior class contributed ten lettermen. Whether this will have any effect on the next year's team remains to be seen. At any rate Metuchen can always count on a good number of rooters no matter what the team may turn out to be.
