Pleasanl O Valley I2 Nollingham I3 Valley 0 Norlh 6 Valley O Vocalional I9 Valley 26 Cenlral , 2I , , HE I949 Foolball season was a speclacular campaign, as colorful as any in lhe ia hislory of foolball al Valley - even lhough our gridders mel defeal. S' 'Ti Prospecls 'lor an excellenl season were high. The malerial was available, buf generalship and lhe will lo win was lacking. ll wasn'l unlil Jerry Taylor, one of 'lhe besl loolball players ever lo wear a Valley uniform, came down wilh poliomyelilis 'lhal our leam showed lhe enlhusiasm and delerminalion lo play lo win. We were all very sadly surprised and offered our sympalhelic encouragemenl lo Jerry for a quick recovery. And il was diflicull lo realize lhal one ol our own had lo be laken wilh such a deadly disease 'lo shake us 'From lhe slump lhal we were in. Through lhe len day qnuaranline period Jerry TayIor's desire lo recover inspired our loolball players 'lo suc a high emolional pilch 'lhal lhey loo were desirous ol aclion. Coach Broscoe had only lo menlion Jerry's name and lhe players responded wilh a delerminalion lhal had no equal. Somelimes lhe body will nol reacl wilhoul lhe necessary lraining and lhal is exaclly whal happened in our game againsl Nollingham when were were defealed I3-I2. We were physically capable lo play one half a game only. The len day lay-off and lack of lime lo prepare lor 'lhis game hurl lremendously. I+ is lhe opinion of many lhal 'rhe lay-off was lhe cause ol our deleal - even 'though we were behind I3-I2 al hall-lime. The whole squad should be complimenled 'lor lheir laurels on lhe gridiron buf lhere are always lhose who sland oul. The Academy Slall places Jerry Taylor in lhe number one spol. Bob Schalk second lor his excellenl play and generalship of lhe leam, and lhird, Jack MacDonald lor his superb play--lilling lhe posilion lell vacanl by Jerry Taylor. Seniors lhal we don'l wanl lo lose, bul musl lhrough gradualion are: Joslyn, Pullin, Mielz, Cecile, Adank, Shepard, Ginley, Lawless, Tuflley, Kelaily, Bohemier, Moore, and our Managers Leigh and Corregan.
