At the first practice the 1939 football squad looked green and very light, but as time progressed it became a well rounded team, working together to the utmost efficiency. The season started with a bang when the Pirates beat the Madison Blue Streaks 6 to 0 in a hard fought battle. The tide was turned, however, when Geneva's heavy squad came to Perry for a practice game. Geneva edged out a 6 point lead to win 13 to 6. Perry came back again, though, and won a 19 to 0 victory over Painesville. In the big event of the year the Pirates put a smashing victory over the Mentor Cardinals for the first time to win 13 to 6. The heavier Mentor team was baffled and beaten by the Pirates Hashing aerial attack and nifty trick plays. Perry carried on by drubbing Ashtabula 19 to O and by bringing the score from 0 to 6 in favor of Painesville up to 13 to 6 in favor of Perry, in the last four minutes of the game. The decisive battle for the championship came when Perry went to Chagrin Falls. Chagrin beat Perry 28 to 12 to win the cup. The Pirates won a hard fought battle with Chardon by a 6 to 0 score. In the last game of the season an unskilled VVickliffe team beat the Pirates, who were definitely off form, by a score of 6 to 0. Richard Palmer was elected captain of the Pirates for the next year at the annual football banquet. Ed McFarland and Pete Thompson were the most valuable players with Ben Johnson as runner up in second place. Perry ended the season in second place for the conservative season. FOOTB LL

Curl Torch and Royster XVhiting, forwards, inspired the tezun hy their snappy shooting and passing. Fine playing was exhibited hy Edward Palmer, guard, who constantly worked for the best sulvemtage of the tezun. Ben Jolmson, guard, was rated the most valuable player of our team.
