illir Shirr iilji show any scrap at all in this game, and as a result they were beaten 13 to 8. Johnson scored both of Kane’s touchdowns, running 70 yards and 30 yards, respectively. Port’s scores came in the third quarter when Dolo-way tackled a Kane man behind Kane’s goal line, and in the last quarter, when Port made a touchdown after a series of off tackle slants and line bucks. The next contest was with Emporium, at Emporium on October 2nd. Up to this time Port had not won any games out of town, so the fellows decided to change their luck. They did, the final score was 13 to 0, with Port winning the game. The local gridders did not find the game so easy as they had expected, and they realized that to win, hard playing was necessary. Port’s first touchdown came in the second quarter when Teater took it across and in the last quarter when Geor-getson took it over. The biggest surprise of the season came on November 9. when the Sheffield aggregation played on the local field. Previous to this game Sheffield had not been scored on, all season, and they were confident of winning this game. A little too much confidence and the breaks all for Port, proved too much for Sheffield, and they went down in defeat. The final score was 6 to 0, in favor of Port. The team as a whole played the best it had all season, and teamwork was the main factor of the game. Sheffield tried hard to win and a couple of times they did threaten Port’s goal, only to lose the ball. This game proved what Port's team really could do when it wanted to fight hard. The games that had been lost were over; but the defeats were taken in a good sportsmanlike manner. On November 16 the Hornell aggregation journeyed to Port. From the opening of the game until the close all the breaks were against Port. All the tough luck a team could have in a game was doled out to Port that day. The final score was 25 to 0. The game was interesting as shown by first downs, each side having nine. This game made Hornell’s 2 8th consecutive victory, and Port’s first defeat on their own field in three years. With almost two weeks of hard practicing, Port was all set for the annual Turkey Day game with Smethport. This game will go down in P. A. H. S. football history as a grid classic de luxe. The team worked with perfect unison and it would be hard to select the outstanding players. Port outplayed Smethport in every department of the game. Three touchdowns were made in the first half, by line bucks and off tackle plays by the entire backfield. In the second half Smethport tightened up and held Port to only one touchdown. The final score was Port 2 5 Smethport 0. The best wishes of the class of 1930’s nine lettermen and Manager “Tenglefoot”, g with the team next year for an even better season than the past one has been.

Siir Siurr 1Cilii posed of Captain Georgetson, H. Redington, Barnett. Gamble, Goodrich, and Holden. 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

Second Row — Maynard Painter, Leonard Eley, Donald Keagie, Jack Holden Manager, Leo Schlosser Coach, Cecil Gamble, Irvin Summerson, Harold Johnson. CLvt-(Cinnity ILeaqiu' Climupiims To Coach Schlosser goes the credit of producing the best working basketball combination which has represented Port High on the court in many years. After three years of strenuous work and never ending patience Coach Schlosser developed a basketball team which materialized into the Champions of McKean, Potter and Cameron Counties. Up until the middle of the season Port High was tie with two other schools for leading honors, but due to various reasons two members of the team were forced to discontinue the:r athletic activities for a while. Green men filled their positions and as a result Port dropped into third place. After these men became accustomed to their places, Port High began to pick up form and speed and soon were in position to win the Tri-County honors, which they did due to hard playing. The week after the football season closed Coach Schlosser called the basketball aspirants out for practice. With only three letter men available from last year’s squad and a wealth of new material on hand prospects
