FOOTBALL: Since 1878 Swarthmore football warriors have striven for that goal of all teams, an undefeated record. The Garnet has experienced seasons with lone defeats, but not until this year was the seemingly impossible achieved. The 1939 football machine was a smoothly working outfit which made few mistakes. The credit belongs to no one man. Head Coach Lew Elverson displayed a propensity for molding a harmonious group into a never-say-die squad. His infectious enthusiasm and sound knowledge of football were reflected not only on Saturday afternoons, but in practices as well. Light in weight but powerful in spirit and tactics, Swarthmore ' s forward wall outcharged every opponent and gave the fleet and tricky Garnet backs a chance to get started, by opening up the enemy defense. Line Coach Paul Stofko deserves much credit for developing the dependable line necessary to any good team. On October the seventh, after three weeks of pre- season practice, Swarthmore met a strong Washington College aggregation. Following a scoreless first quarter the Eastern Shoremen ' s passing attack began function- ing. With Fetter tossing, Washington finally scored early in the second period. Fortunately for Swarth- more, Fetter failed to convert. Swarthmore ' s attack soon awoke after Donnelly on the kickoff carried the ball to the 40. A forward lateral, Jakle to Jones to Maw- hinney, put the ball in Washington territory. A pass by Jakle and two off-tackle thrusts advanced the hall to the 2 5. With the Washington defense all set for a wide open play, Jakle crossed them up by sending Huhn through center, and Johnny scored standing. Jakle kicked that very valuable point. The third quarter was all Swarthmore. Taking the ball from their own 31, the little Quakers soon scored. Jakle cut around end for twenty-two yards to the Wash- ington 47. Again the forward lateral connected; this time for twelve yards. Jakle made a first down around end and then passed to Eberle in the end zone for the tally. Washington came back early in the final period to add another six points, but again failed to convert. Another strong Washington attack was repulsed late in the game. Swarthmore rooters heaved a sigh of relief when the final whistle sounded with the score 13-12. The following Saturday a revitalized Swarthmore eleven easily defeated Susquehanna at Selinsgrove. Leading 7-0 at half time after a 71 -yard drive climaxed by a Jakle to Eberle touchdown aerial, the Garnet came back to score twice in the third quarter. Jakle went over from the 5 and then tossed to Eberle, who tallied from the Susque- hanna 40. Another six points were added in the final period when Buzz Eberle on a delayed reverse outran the entire Susquehanna defense to score untouched. Sus- quehanna, taking advantage of fumbling by Garnet reserve backs, scored in the last few minutes and reduced the margin of victory to 27-12. Susquehanna ' s Gargantuan 22
