Recapitulating, the squad, clad in Red and Blue, opened the season at home by trouncing the inexperienced Wilson Teachers team 37-0. With this impressive score, we met the unpleasant surprise jolt of our season by taking it on the chin from Kutztown 6-12. Having recovered somewhat in a 21-0 victory at E. Stroudsburg, we celebrated Mothers ' and Dads Day by reverting to original form and cavorting away on the long end of a 27-0 score with Shepherd Teachers College. Homecoming arrived, our day to show our might to the old grads. This was done in fine style by taking Bloomsburg back to the tune of 20-0. The month of November found a decisively tougher schedule along with the cooler weather. Initiating this month, Millersville on their Home- coming had to be content with the 0-7 score. On a mushy field with very evenly matched teams, we tied up the lads of Indiana 7-7. A very hard game on the heart was the finely played de- fensive game against the highly-touted team of Lock Haven Black Devils . The result was a scoreless tie. We say farewell this year to Kavanagh, Ryan, Sorge, Sweeney, Mastrocola, Beard, Haller, and Shields from our foremost athletic team.

Cleated Shoes and Shin Guards . . . ii jniij» yMH turn students into fans Shippensburg- tightens defense and again Lock Haven is stopped by the foi ' ward wall of the Red Raiders. Deception, speed, and good blocking- put Spangler in the clear, and in scoring posi- tion. Touchdown next play. Defense battle wages on through the game. Lock Haven holds Red Raiders. Score board remains to as cheers fade into the dusk. This is last year ' s freshmen threat to the hockey title. This picture has us stumped, too. It must be an all star team containing members from all classes. How do you like the pep of this bunch? They are this year ' s freshmen who play the game with a will. Do you remember when Mid Crone and Mary Ida were sophomores? tf 1 9 1

S ® ' .. «3 All right, two laps everybody, ring the crisp tones of our well-liked coach. With these commands from the short, husky man in the baseball cap, another football practice is under way. Calisthenics follow, and then rule practice. Rules are a necessity for the stands to argue over, to make the officials appear omniscient, and to require the players ' co-ordination of mind and muscle. Grueling hours of after class time melt away as the boys are shown how to block, tackle, side-step, pass, pivot, punt, etc. Then the boys can individualize some technicalities of their own. Brawn holds a premium. Since the coach can possibly use only eleven men, many mu.st be con- lent to sit, perhaps for four years without the glory of the real battle. For the :e, all recompenses. are not lost. What lovely lady does not wait for the semb ance of a .jersey, with the man power represented under it? But these boys still deserve some of the blare of the band, the cheer of the ex- pectant crowd, for building up the reserve, for being ready at any time to make a replacement. With two laps at the end, the players scramble for the shower rooms, clothe bodies in prosaic outfits, and come back to the menial, but semi- necessary work of chemistry, history, and English Literature. 22 J
