Surprises marked the day in indie
pendent football circles OF this city
last Saturday. The 3-to-O victory of
Charlie BriCklcy's New York Giants
over Hcinic Millcr's Quakers was one.
and the other was the result of the
Frankford- lIolmesburg contest. While
IIOlmCSburg has long been recognized
the champion of the city. Frnnkford's
class has been apparent from the start
of the season and many expected to see
Howard Bowkcr's Yellowjackets win
by n more decisive score.
al
burg would still be champion had he
had but two more men in uniform.
Except for ground rules the score
would have been lIolmcsburg. g.
Frankford. 3. But for the overflow
crowd the safety of Gaffney would have
resulted in a touchdown y previous
arrangement provided that n safety
should be scored should a blocked kick
go into the crowd.
Gcrkcr is not denying FrankfOrd the
fruits of the victory, as they had eleven
first downs to four. HOlmcsburg took
the field with but three extra men and
the Ycllowjarkcts had sixteen. Larry
Oliver. the big Massilon tackle Of whom
so much was expected. failed to put in
nm appearance. Miller also failed to
arrive and Morrison did not get to
the game until 9 80 +. NJ. During the
evening the YcllowjaCkets staged n big
parade. and when the merrymakers
reached IIolmesburg the officials of that
club took the lead and assisted in pa
rading through the town.
Prepare for Quakcrs
Manager Gcrkcr is now pointing, for
the clash with Leo COnway's Quakers
at the Phillies' Ball Park on Friday.
ArmistCc Day. and announces that five
new men will be in the lineup on that
occasion. They will reach here in time
for Wednesdays practice and will stay
over for the contest.
1t was Il field goal from the toe OF
Hank Pool, former p NJ. c. athlete.
in the final three minutes that turned
the tide in the favor Of the Yellow
jackets. He was carried from the field
by his admirers; likewise Smith, whose
work kept Frankford in the running at
all times. IIolmesburg's strong point
was its ability to break up its Oppo-
nents' interference.
And while on the subject it would not
be amiSS to pass n few laurcls to one
Dutch" Somers, former NillanOva
coach, who in the short space of two
weeks turned IIolmcSburg into a cham
pionship contender. Had Somors been
at Holmcsburg from the start Of the
season there is no telling what might
nave HhIpep"O.
Quakers Drop One
The Quakers did not live up to their
reputation in the game with Brickley's |
New York Giants and were beaten, 3 |

test also decided the issue. but it came
early in the game from the 33 yard line |
and was booted by Jim Laird, former
Colgate player.
The locals did not allow the visitors
Il first down. The feature was the work |
of Johnny Scott and Stan Cofall who
appeared to be the only Quakers able !
to do anything with the Gothamitcs. 1t |
was the Quakcrs' first defeat.
Coaldnlc and ConShOhocken battlcd to |
