Nearly every boy in !I'xi1'5i',Q w, the high school responded. Large and small fat and thin they , 1 came tr-uping into the Auditorium with joyful anticipation of making the football varsity team and winning the coveted P . Many of the smaller ones were turned away but they showed that they had the Parochial spirit if not the brawn and perhaps next season they will be given their chance. In aboirt a weelc practice began in earnest and soon the squad began to dwindle. Some became discouraged others lazy and others were unable to report for practice and as a result were dropped. There were about thirty men left eight of them being the regulars from the preceding seaso'n. At first they were given limbering up exercises run- ning tackling the dummy punting etc. In about two weeks time practice began in earnest. Each morning after the preceeding nights practice you woalctxscc members of the team coming to school with a black eye scratched and scarred faces, limpfnfr etc. but these minor accidents did not dishearten the boys and they stuck right at the job. Parochial opened up their season with the strong Allentown Public High School. In this game Parochial was outweighed about twenty-five pounds per man, and as a result went down to defeat to the tune of 34 to 0. But this defeat did not hishearten the men, for the next Saturday the tables were turned and Parochial beat the Bangor High School 25 to 0. Our next op- ponent was Catasauqua and when the final whistle blew Parochial had 0 and Catasauqua 19. The following week Parochial was entertained at Mauch Chunk and Parochial in order to celebrate the long trip, beat Mauch Chunk 7 to 0. Wwe played Pen Argyl and after a hard fought game, Pen Argyl came out on top 6 to 0. Then we traveled to Stroudsburg and overwhelmed our opponents 27 to 0. Next came the big game on Armistice Day with Wilson High. We had been looking forward to this game all season. .,l Q s 5 3 4 isT' ..'w. ,se --4- Sr. Plfl' d Sr. J ' H' l S fa I Q - I l BOUT the middle of September, Coaches Higgins and Carrol issued 3 A ' O Ns, fi W 1 7 GQ nk E f X e a ' 2 2 FQ -. 1 f.. l K Parochial had beat Wilson last year and Wilson wanted revenge.

The American Legion were sponsoring a program lg that day and the Parochial-Wilson game was the entertainment for the after- B noon. And boy. What a game! Each team fought like tigers and the gf first half ended 0-O. Parochial had been outweighed but they fought hard. l 5 f . 1928 cfqnnual F. ' Q al A al 3 . 5 f 7' i Q
