Pitted against some of the strong- est teams in the section, Port follow- ed her usual custom of taking on the hard ones and leaving the easy ones to less Worthy rivals. Winning or losing, everybody supported the fight- ing team and that is Why the season was a success as far as Port High is concerned. Starting the season with ten letterimen and a Wealth of mater- ial made the prospects look bright for a successful season. The first game, with Eldred on the home field, result- ed in Ports decisively beating a fight- ing but light team by the score of 12-0. On the following Saturday, Port took the long trip to Renovo and emerged the victor in a hard fougth contest by a score of 6-0. The victory string re- mained unbroken and Port's second team had a chance to show their pow- er in a game with Galeton here when Port piled up 45 points to the visitor's 0.

THE TIGER LILY fgirla' glfielh gililnnkeg The third season of field hockey was played last fall with about thirty- five girls out during the two months of practice and play. The four upper classes were each represented, but the freshmen showed the greatest amount of enthusiasm by their number and regular attendance at the Tuesday and Thursday practice periods. Three teams competed in the two rounds of tournament play during the season. The senior-sophomore play- ers combined, forming one team, while the juniors and freshmen were each represented by individual teams. The freshmen won the tournament with a total score of 12 points. Each player of the winning team Was awarded a six inch, black felt hockey stick bearing the numerals '37, as an insignia of their championship. As one game, the junor-sophomore, was not played because of bad weather, a second rating was not decided. The captain-managers of the teams were: Freshmen - - - Nellie McElwee Senior-Sophomore Alice Sullivan Junior - - - Margaret Golden Frances Cutting, Anna Michelitsch, Doris Tauscher, Alberta Mattison, Mary Rosetti, andrBernadette Glass, some of the 'backfield players who do not appear in the scoring record, play- ed excellent defensive games.

Tl-IE TIGER LILY H g On October 13, Port journeyed to Bradford to play the strongest team in this section and again demonstrated her power by marching 65 yards to a touchdown against the strongest line she had encountered this year thus being the first team to score against Bradford. Although Port was defeat- ed, she put up a hard fight against a superior team. After the Bradford setback, the Port team suffered demoralization and Johnsonburg managed to secure a three touchdown victory over Port. The following week, still in a slump but exhibiting flashes of power, Port was held to a 0-0 tie by Emporium, a game in which Nig Summersonu dis- played some of the best football play- ing of his career. Kane and Smethport capitilized on Ports slump in the fol- lowing weeks. Port lost to Simethport in a game in which she outplayed her rival in every department. Port had plenty of breaks in this game but they were all bad. After a week's rest that seemed to do wonders for the Port squad, came the final game of the season with Cudersport. Led by the men playing their last game, Port exhibit ed a brand of football that could not be matched by Coudersport and fin- ished the season with a 21-13 victory. Among the outstanding playens of the season was Ervin Summerson, veteran tackle whose power and tack- ling ability was a great asset to the Port squad. Ni probably played his best game this year at Emporium, where his tackling was the feature of the contest. Charlie Nunn, another veteran who played the first part of the seas- on at tackle and was shifted to end af- ter the Bradford game, was one of the hardest fighters in a Port uniform. Next year Port will have a hard time finding a deadly tackler and a good pass snatcher to take the place of Nunn. Peewee Nordstrom, varsity quarterback, was Port's example of the saying that good stuff comes in little packages. In spite of his size, Tony was one of the best defense men in the warrior backfield and present- ed plenty of evidence all year as to why he was all county in 1931. Cheeky Doloway is captain elect of the 1935 team. His yardage gained speaks for itself. Checky was prob- ably the most consistent ground gain- er on the squad. Shevak and Geuder both veteran ends, were two good reasons why Port was able to stand against big teams, far out of their class. Red Gnagey, sensational sophomore to quote the papers, stole the show several times this year with long runs. Dick Becker, massive tack- ler, Chet Scherer, guard, Doc Hof- fower, guard g Lawrence Freer, guard 5 Bess Hardes and Jim Thomas, cen- ters, name a few of the big babies that held down the center of the Port line and explain the reason for Port's stonewall defense. Lecky Thomas, Bob Lyman and Eddie Kinney, backfield letter men demonstrated plenty of ability in the Port line-up. Kinney, with three more years to play, should establish a rec- ord to be remembered. Earl Doloway is following in the footsteps of his el- der brothers. As a freshmen letterman with three more years of football, he should develop into one of the best ends ever turned out by Port. Though it was his first year out, Phil Dardenne received recognition for his work.
