in Rain, Snow, and Fair Weather It happened that Harry Diffenderfer received a pass from center Earl Miller 6 in an attempt to crash the Trojan defenses during the traditional battle against Lemoyne, Thanksgiving day. With Six games out of their nine-game schedule being Con- ference games, the New Cumberland Tigers marched through their card with a clean slate until they were toppled by Lemoyne in the Turkey Day classic. After three independent games, in two of which the Tigers were tied, the scrappers settled down at an even pace toppling Camp Hill, Enola, West York, Red Lion, and Millersburg before being defeated by the Trojans. Early in the season the Tigers ehalked up an unexpected victory over the Camp Hill Lions 20-0. After two independent games, they again placed a surprise attack on a highly favored Enola eleven. N.C.

I9 Resting his regulars the following week, Coach Peiffer sent his ambitious second team against a slightly weaker West York aggregation, which they defeated 20-0. The veterans took the wheel again the following Saturday and hammered a strong lied Lion eleven to a 14-0 defeat. The scrappers then battled to a 14-0 win over the Millersburg Indians, November 14. After a hard-fought season, the team which everybody thought could do very little was once more in strong competition for first honors in the Class A division of the Lower Susquehanna Con- ference. After the Millersburg game the Peifferites had to face Lemoyne, also with a clean slate. Finally November 28, after a stiff battle, the Tigers were stopped by a score of 19-6. It happened that out of the twenty-six first and second-string men who made up the varsity squad this year only live had any previous varsity experience. These five were Charles Newton, Bill Miller, Earl Miller, Paul Baublitz and Ed Erney. Ed was the only first-string varsity veteran. .4 in f ..v. . .Q l g'L:li - A - A -my -. - -4, .. . .i ., 4 -. mms ' '
