NORNN'IN ...... NEW KENSINGTON The Norwinites in their first AA game of the season, bowed to a strong New Kensing- ton team on the latter's field, 20-6. Norwin played a much improved game and Ken Hi had tough going throughout the entire four quarters of the game. NORWIN ...... PITCAIRN Norwin's varsity, displaying a more power- ful and more varied attack than in any other contest of the season, swamped a bewildered Pitcairn team. After the dust of the battle had cleared, the local boys held the long end of a 46-6 score. NORXN'IN ...... MCKEESI'ORT Armistice Day saw Norwin drop another tilt to McKeesport High School. The lighter Blue and Gold gridmen, unable to gain a footing on the slippery turf, could not gain against the strong' Tube City line. Aided considerably by long runs, McKeesport raced over 19 points to Norwin's O. Football NoRw1N ...... SCOTT Scott Hi from North Braddock with a Hashy and heavy grid machine handed Nor- win another set-back on the home field, 19-O. The Blue and Gold was unable to penetrate the strong defense of the visitors. The Reed- men, however, led by Gross, one of the finest halfbacks to visit Norwin, rushed over three touchdowns. NORNVIN ,... . .JEANNETTE Jeannette High School, Norwin's oldest rival trampled their way to a 21-0 victory over a much lighter Norwin team.

NVILLIAM SENIUR JACK C1.AwsoN l'lAR0l.D Flscmgu 4 f W Starting the season with only one regular and tive letter men left over from the 1932 varsity, the Norwin gridmen went through an unsuccessful season as far as victories were concerned, but the players displayed un- usual hghting spirit which promises a strong team for the coming season. The team play- ed exceptionally well and deserves much praise for their line play against Greensburg, VV. P. l. A. l.. co-champion, Sewickley, Pit- cairn, and Turtle Creek. Norwin dropped six games and won three. Nokwiiv ...... ILAST M cKi4:r:s1-om' Norwin's rebuilt team opened the football season against lfast McKeesport High School on the home turf. The visitors, sporting a powerful and underrated eleven surprised all dopestcrs by upsetting the lllue and Gold lZf6. Early in the game, llill Senior, captain and only regular from last year's squad suffered a broken collar bone which kept him out of action until the Jeannette game. Nokwix ...... SEWICKL1-:Y On Saturday, October 7, the Blue and Gold grid machine topped the Sewickley Township Bisons to register their initial vic- tory of the season. After playing listlessly throughout the first half of the game, the Clavvsonites rallied strongly and handed the visitors a stinging 19-6 defeat. Nokwix ...... GREr:Nsi2URG The following Saturday, a hard-fighting Norwin eleven traveled to Greensburg and dropped a close game to the powerful county seaters, 13-7. The deciding touchdown came as the result of a lucky break, when a Nor- vvin fumble flew into the arms of a fleet Greensburg back who raced 50 yards to score. The Blue and Gold threatened time after time to score in the second half but the Brown and White managed to hold them to a lone touchdown. ciglzlwn

Cheerleaders i Junior Football The organized cheering, capably handled by a squad of seven students, was an enthusiastic aid to the football and basketball teams throughout the seasons. Fred Neiman, '34, was the head cheerleader. His assistants were Robert Datz, '34, Bruce Boyle, '35, Catherine Clohessy, '35, Betty Kuhn, '35, John Fehrs, '36g and Bud Peters, '36, These cheersters, effective, energetic, effer- vescent, were hard-working and tireless in their efforts to speed the fighting teams on to victory. They were an inspiration to the stu- dents at pep-meetings, on the football field, or on the basketball floor, and always have their efforts been appreciated and rewarded with whole-hearted support. The Junior football squad of 1933, the seventh in the history of Norwin, made a fine showing on both their own and their oppo- nents' gridirons this season. The junior squad is made up of varsity aspirants from the two lower classes of Norwin and the ninth grade of the Irwin junior High School. This year the Juniors had a new coach, Mr. Fischer, whose first year was successful, his proteges winning four games and tying one. This team has another achievement to be proud of-their goal line was not crossed all season. These boys received valuable information and drill on the fundamentals of football and you may expect to see a lot of them on the varsity next year. Two scheduled games, one with Greensburg and one with Sewickley, were postponed and remained unplayed be- cause of adverse weather conditions. SCORES Norwin .... ..... Norwin .... .....
