FOOTBALL The Spring City High School l948 football cam- paign opened as the Pirate eleven journeyed to Schwenkville to play the Bluebirds on Lanco Field. Because of many penalties the Groffmen didn't get started until late in the first quarter, but then with a flurry of onrushes, emerged victorious by the score of 33-0. The six-pointers were made by lim Dell t3l, lim Rentschler, and Earle Nelson while Dell fplace- mentl, Horace Carl tpassl, and Dick Rosen tpassl accounted for the extra points. The Pirates, with one under their belt, traveled to West Pottsgrove where they were entertained by the Falcons on their new athletic field. The Groff- men, rushing and passing their way toward the last white line, slaughtered the Falcons to the tune of 44-14. Scores were made by Dell, Rentschler, Nelson f2l, Charlie Finkbiner, Bob Mull, and Phil Carl, and conversions by Phil Carl tpassl and Larry Davis tplacementl. Then with two easy victories along the wayside the Pirates were host to the always dangerous Upper Merion Spartans on the S. C. gridiron. With three scoreless quarters the Pirates started edging toward paydirt, and with only minutes left our al- ways rugged wingback, Phil Carl, caught a touch- down pass in the end zone from the pitching arm of Larry Davis. The conversion was missed. The Pirates fighting against odds in the hardest en- counter of the season, as yet, put away number three and began thinking of the next week's game with Nether Providence. On the ,sixteenth of October, seeking revenge from a last year 4l-l2 trampling, the Pirates played host to the Nether Providence eleven. Being out- weighed, outclassed, and having heavy odds against them, the always trying Groffmen fell to their first loss of the season by the close score of l9-l3, The touchdowns were made by Donnie Stauffer, on a pass from Phil Carl and Big lim Dell, with Rentschler converting. This loss was more or less a moral victory for the Pirates who, as the game ended, found themselves in striking distance of the goal line, Being a hard team to keep down, the Pirates took the defeat in their stride and once again bounced back on the winning road. This time a big Marple- Newtown team fell underneath the fighting Bucca- neer eleven by a high score of 32-0 at that place. lim Bentschler tallied the first six-pointer on a 10- yard end skirt. Then lim Dell, our burly fullback, followed with a seven-yard thrust through center. Phil Carl was next in line on a 20-yard pass from Rentschler, only then to be followed by Earle Nelson and Larry Davis. Conversions were made by Larry Davis fplacementl and Horace Carl Cpassl. A week later the Pirates, still determined not to lose another, traveled to North Coventry to play the Wildcats on their Homecoming Day. lt was another penalty day for the Pirates and with a rugged eleven the Wildcats held the score 0-0 at half-time. S. C. came back in the third quarter and with a wonderful Wildcat goal line stand, halted the Groff- Fifty-four
