We know that without their support. Port’s reputation as a football town would be a myth of long ago, but as it is, Port’s reputation has increased each year. We find, that games which are played on a distant field are attended by Port fans which far outnumber the enthusiasts of other towns. Coach Leo T. Schlosser, started his second football season at Port High, by sending out the call for football candidates. About thirty-five responded for the opening of the season, but as the practices progressed, there were, by the end of the season, slightly more than two full teams. The first few days were devoted in learning the fundamentals, signals and plays of football. After this preliminary all new men were ready to try their best to fill in the positions left vacant by the team of 1928. The line, medium in weight, was composed of such men as: Painter, Brown, Freer. Keagle, Case, Smith. Becker. Doloway. Connolly, and Edgreen. The backfield was com-

($ur principal, Xule JUL JJfolben As a student body and especially the Senior Class, we wish to express in this manner our deepest appreciation of Mr. L. W. Holden, his aid and interest in our behalf during our four years of High School. Mr. Holden was graduated from Wellsville High School and received his secondary training from Valparaiso University and is at present completing graduate work at the University of Rochester summer school which was started at Penn State. His teaching experience has been wide and varied. After leaving Valparaiso, Mr. Holden taught in De-Veaux College at Niagara Falls as head of the English Department, leaving there to go to Oak B'uff at Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts. As supervising principle at Leggett High School in Edgecomb County, North Carolina, he met with great success before entering the Port Allegany High School as head of the English department. His election to the prin-cipalship of P. A. H. S. came as a reward gained in the more subordinate position. Mr. Holden has also been very much interested in dramatics and writing as an avocation to his English work. His efficient directorship of the pageant during the Port Allegany Centennial in 1916 was positive proof of his undoubted talent in this line. We, the students, have enjoyed our association with Mr. Holden and it is with regret coupled with every wish for his continued success in his broader field of activity, that we bid him farewell and Godspeed.

Of these men, four were selected on Dr. Livermore's all-county team -Georgetson, Doloway, Painter and Keagle. The team as a whole played good, clean and hard football, but due to so many new men playing on the eleven, the season was not entirely successful. Port won five out of nine games played, scoring 158 points, while the opponents ran up only 64. C. Doloway was the true image of his fighting brother, Gibby.” He was all over the field at the same time, for no one could stop him. In recognition of his wonderful work, he is to head the defenders of the “Orange and the Black” next year. The best of success is wished him and his teammates during the season of 1930. There will be many missing when the call for practice goes out next fall, but their hearts will remain with the team to give them moral support in every game. Counted among the missing will be Captain Jim Geor-getson. Hank Shevak. Phil Teater, the fullbacks who could hit the line like a shot from a gun; Red Goodrich and Jack Holden, the men who played hard to beat the other out of the quarterback position; Joe Connolly, the “Irish” fighter; Walt Edgreen who proved to be as good as any of them; Ralph Ostrander and Hugh Freer, who proved that football players grow on Brooklynside; and Phil Johnson as small as he is, showed that he could bring down the biggest. Let’s give a regular Port High cheer for them all—-then goodbye. On October 2 8, Port High, a practically green team, journeyed eighty miles through the wilds of Pennsylvania, to play Renovo. A long tiresome ride and a hot day spelled defeat for Port. It must not be inferred that Port failed to fight, they tried hard, but ther efforts seemed futile against the more experienced players of Renovo. The game was • lose and thrilling. At the end of the first half the score was 6 to 6. A break early in the third quarter enabled Renovo to get a six point lead over Port, which they held until the end of the game. The final score was 12 to 6 in favor of Renovo. The new men had received the thrill of the first game and were now prepared for the hard scheduled season that was to follow. Port played its first home game with Coudersport on October 5th. The local grid-ders showed a great improvement over the last game. From the opening of the game until the close, not once did Port slacken in strength or fight. The final outcome was 39 to 0. This being Coudersport’s first game. Port had no trouble in easily subduing them In all departments of the game Port decisively outplayed her opponents by a large margin. The visitors played a good, clean, hard game and they are to be congratulated for their fine spirit. After a week of good hard work, ironing out all the past mistakes, Port journeyed to Bradford on October 12, to play Bradford High. The team was weakened by the loss of Redington who had his shoulder dislocated, in a practice session, and Barnett who. after a few minutes in the game, sprained his ankle so badly that he had to be taken off the field. With a practically second-string backfield, Port went to work and scored two touchdowns on Bradford. Bradford did the same but they were successful in making the extra points. In this game the breaks were all against Port, but still the local gridders outplayed and outfought Bradford by a large margin. Both of Port’s touchdowns came as a result of slow steady marches from the center of the field, while Bradford scored theirs on breaks. The score at the end of the game was 14 to 12 in favor of Bradford. On October 19, Eldred journeyed to Port to play our “dauntless eleven.” For the past two seasons a tie has been all that Port could accomplish against these players. This year the local aggregation had little difficulty in running up points galore. Eldred was completely outplayed, but they tried hard to turn the winning tide against Port. The final score was 4 9 to 0 in favor of Port. The Kane game played at Kane proved to be a disinteresting contest. Port failed to
