FOOTBALL HE Passaic gridders of '40 went through an up and down season, winning four out of their eight struggles. The Pickettmen dropped their first game to East Ruth- erford, l3-O, but came back on the warpath, breaking in Clifton's Mustangs by a l3-6 score. Again the lndians were humbled, this time by Garfield's Boilermakers, l3-6. For revenge, however, the Redskins literally scalped the Dic- kinson team, 33-7. Paterson Eastside emerged from Pas- saic, victorious by l4-l 2. In turn, the l-lilltoppers shut out Paterson Central ,l 3-O. Next the South River eleven eked out a 7-6 win over the Passaic team. Coach Pickett's boys climaxed the season by defeating their keenest rivals, Rutherford's Bulldogs, by one of the greatest scores made since they first met each other in competition, l9-7. Coach Raymond Pickett seemed well pleased with the '40 squad, especially with the sound drubbing they gave to Rutherford on Thanksgiving Day. They're a great group of fellows to work with, he commented, good sportsmen and real fighters. Our sea- son may have been only fair in wins and losses, but each one put all he had into the team, What more could one want?
