CLEAN GRID SLATE
AT GERMANTOWN F.
No Scores Have Been Regis
tered Against Friends
Eleven This Year
BEST SCHOOL RECORD
BY PAUL PREP

OF the many scholastic football teams
in this city, the eleven representing
Germantown Friends School, German
town avenue and Coulter street. IS the
only one which has not been scored on
to date. Four games have been played
and In each instance the opposing team
has been sent home without registering
point.
The Quakcrs opened the season with
academic League. The ccvens bnttled
through four torrid sessions: neither
crew showed to advantage. and when
the whistle blew ending the game the
Scorcboard showed a zero beside each
teams name.
Ridley Park High was the next eleven
met. The team from down near
Chester came here with an cyccl lent
record. In previous years it had
handed lacings to G. T. s.. aud rx-
pcctcd to repeat this season. What a
surprise the Rdlcyitcs received. The
supposedly weak eleven from Coulter
street walked over. them. The final
figures read IL to 0.
After the Ridley Park game the
youngsters who attend the Quaker in
stitution were united In their belief that
the greatest scholastic team in the city
represented their school Many went so
far as to say that the eleven would not
be scored upon during the season.
