Football During the last week in August, a small band of footballers answered Coach Gendich's call to football practice. The squad, which numbered among its veterans such seniors as Baldessari, Borden, Schnelzer, and Kis- singer. showed decided improvement over last year's. The teams, although light and battling against much heavier opponents, displayed excellent team work and a well-directed offense as well as de- fense. The chief weakness of the team lay in the shortage of seasoned sub- stitutes to replace the first string men. However the subs have practiced faithfully and fall practices should prove that this liability has been erased. Although Moon High will retain such valuable plavers as Smith, D. Tesla, McLaughlin, Brunette, M. Baldessari, Poletti, and G. Tesla as a foun- dation for their '37 squad, the six men, Kissinger, Borden, Shust, N. Baldes- sari, Schnelzer, and O'Laughlin will be sorely missed. WINNERS OF THE VARSITY M The following are wearing the varsity M for their work on the grid- iron: Shust, Smith, McLaughlin, D. Tesla, Schnelzer, Poletti, Kissinger. N. Baldessari, Brunette, M. Baldessari, O'Laughlin, G. Tesla, Borden, and Mc- Master. 1936 SEASON Moon 6 . . ................ . . . Coraopolis 26 Moon .........
