FDDTBALL With the advent of autumn and the new school year, West Chester sports fans began to think of football, soccer, and cross-country, of hot dogs, hot chocolate, cold October nights, and winning teams. The 1952 edition of West Chester football started, however, with the fans enjoying shirtsleeve weather and drinking cold lemonade; they watched a winning team. Starting with an easy, although sluggish, win over P.M.C., the Ram gridders moved into high gear as they defeated Delaware University in the season ' s big game. Following this important victory, the Rams registered impres- sive victories over four teachers ' college teams and then finished the season by completely outclassing a good Bloomsburg eleven. Many outstanding performances contributed to the 7 win, loss record. Among these were the fine running and blocking of halfback Earl Hersh. Charlie Weber, chosen as defensive guard on the Little All-American first team, was constantly in the opponent ' s backfield. For his outstanding teamplay, Weber was also named to the All-Pennsylvania football team as offensive guard. The coaching staff, led by Glenn Killinger, did a fine job in giving West Chester its first undefeated football team since 1947 and placing it in the select group of fifteen undefeated, untied teams in the country. Serious accidents were avoided and, in spite of a depleted schedule, player spirit was high.
