(Ehe (Ttypr Hilg On the all-sectional first team there were three men representing Port Allegany; there three men on the second team and three who received honorable mention. The whole line was mentioned in the all-sectiona! list; it was the best line produced in this section due to the weight and experience of the players. The line averaged 175 pounds and the backfield, not as heavy, averaged 165 pounds. Season’s Record The year’s schedule, with score for each game, follows: Port Allegany Opp nents 50 Renovo 0 27 Coudex-spox-t 0 26 Bradford 13 54 Eldx ed 6 x5 Kane 7 45 Empox-ium 0 0 Sheffield 21 0 Johnsonbui’g 25 2 Smethport 0 271 71 T-:ree On All-Sectional Team Brown and Doloway were the outstanding players this year, but every man made himself worthy of mention. Brown, who was selected allsectional fullback, we'ghs 185 pounds. He made a record which should stand for years to come. In the first six games “Brownie” gained a total of 1,069 yards from scrimmage, or an average of more than 178 yards fox-each game, and scored 160 points, in addition to being an excellent defens- ive playei’. The team was captained by Clif-foi-d (“Fat”) Doloway, who has been selected as all-county end for two yeai s. The name “Fat” would tend to classify him as a slow, easy-going player, but he was one of the hardest tacklei-s and speediest ends who ever wore an Ox-ange jei-sey. Doloway was the outstanding lineman for two yeax-s. Another star linesman to receive all-sectional honox-s was Smith, who played guard. In playing the x un-ning guai'd position he was a very capable interference runner, and, on the defensive, plugged all plays that were sent thx-ough him. Besides having thx ee men on the fii st string all-sectional team, Port Allegany High school also placed thi-ee on the second team—Max-tin Painter, an end, and Gamble and Keagle, tackles. The combination of Smith, guard, and Keagle, tackle, formed the strongest pax-t of the line. Neither one ever gave in until the whistle blew. Painter, playing right end, could intex-cept as well as complete passes, and through him many of Pox-ts longest gains wex-e made. The third of the second all-sectional team was Gamble, who could well be called a ti-iple-thx-eat man. He played tackle, but when it was necessary to punt, pass or make a wide run, Gamble was called into the backfield to do it. “Cec” had a wonderful punting toe and was hax-d to beat when it came to kicking.

Coach Rowles’ eleven started the season with a group of high-scoring victories and, until meeting Sheffield, had not suffered one defeat. The following week Port Allegany met the powerful Johnsonburg eleven and aga;n had to go down to defeat. Johnsonburg won the championship of the conference consisting of the schools of Northwestern Pennsylvania and Southwestern New York. With practically all of the veterans of last year’s team back, and these, with a fighting determination, another championship football team was developed at Port Allegany High School this year. Through the able coaching of John T. Rowles this team began functioning very well at the beginning of the season, and it seemed very probable a noted team would result. Although the season was marred by two reverses at the hands of very formidable opposition, the team nev ertheless has the destinction of being

iLlip ILiyrr iLlily Three Port Allegany players also received honorable mention on the all-sectional team. They were : George Case, fighting center; Harry Reding-ton, flashy quarterback and broken field runner, and Bill Bec.cer, 200-pound sophomore guard. Halfback positions were played by William Linnan and Thomas Mow-ery. Linnan could be shifted to quarterback, and was also a good left handed passer, while Mowery was 0 good broken-field runner. The substitutes, especially Fred Linnan, Alvin Anderson Maynard Painter and “Pike” Erickson, are worthy of mention. To Lose 12 Veterans The starting lineup in the last game was composed entirely of sen iors, an honor which very few, if any, classes have had. Although twelve seniors, nine of them varsity men, will be lost for next year’s team, there is still some very good material, and another formidable eleven should be developed.
