A Wm1 111ff ipnrts Utes When the call for candidates for the 1991 football edition of St erome s was sounded the prospects were anything but bright Only two members of the great team of 1930 were on hand and the rest of the boys were small and inexperienced After a weeks preliminary drill at Sea Isle City we returned to Tamaqua and got down to hard work. By the time of the opening of the season we were fairly well trained in fundamentals and were anxious to test our plays and try our strength against a worthy opponent. Shenandoah Catholic High furnished the opposition for the season,s opener. Many errors were made but we came through with a 12-6 decision. Long runs by Sarli and the deadly tackling of Allison featured the game. On September 26th we visited our old rival, Coal Township. The weather for football was ideal and the crowd witnessed a hard fought battle. Both sides had a chance to score but lacked the necessary punch. The final score was O-0. Our second game at home found Mauch Chunk Catholic lining up against us. We defeated them 15-O, the result of two touchdowns and a safety. Young Adam Gigli found himself in this game and made several nice runs, aided by some good interference. Page arty eight

2 On October 10th we faced the biggest hardest and the best football team that St Jeromes in the three years of competition has had occasion to play Shenandoah High School undefeated all seison and every inch 1 state chain pion The score was 35 O but while we were beaten we were far from bemg disgraced On October 17th St erome s rose to the heights and outplaycd 1 powerful Minersville High team A heavy favorite before the game the big blue club could not penetrate the stubborn resistance of the Lions 'md were lucky to come off with a tie No one individual could be mentioned as starring although Andy Coleman played a great game at end when he went in during the second ha We had an open date on the 74th and toolt 1 much needed rest The 30th found us in Shenandoah facing a greatly improved and altered Catholic High team The game was hard fought and close all the way the final score bemg our third 0 0 game of the year The last month of football arrived and with it came Nesquehomng High hailed as champions of the Carbon Schuylkill League In the first half we outplayed and outfought their team and going to the dressing rooms at half time held a 13 12 edge but in the final half their size and numbers had a telling effect and their smooth attack smothered us under a 30 13 score B111 Gerrity looked good in this game and the calling of plays by Matth vas was also worthy of commendation On November 14th we visited the wind swept gridiron of the Red and Black of Mahanoy City The playing on both sides was ragged and play was hampered by a wind of gale like proportions The score was 75 0 and once more our colors were dipped in defeat On November 71st McAdoo presented its undefeated steam roller for our approval With four regulars on the side lme we dropped a loosely played game 20-0. Then came Thanksgiving and with it Coaldale High, our traditional rival. Before a good crowd we started off by taking the ball to the one-foot line only to lose it on downs. The first half play was all St. Jerome's although Coaldale connected for a long pass and a touchdown. In the final half they outplayed us and won by the score Z0-7. Allison, Sarli, Young, Gerrity, Matthews and Coleman finished their High School careers with this game and played well. ' It is htting here that we should give tribute to one of our boys who, by work and diligence, was picked by the sport writers of this territory on the All-County football team, Gilbert Allison, a hrst-class center, a good student and a worthy ideal for all future athletes of our high school. To him we offer our congratulations and best wishes for continued success when once more he dons the moleskins for some school of higher education. -' c fr Q 6 x ' .
