Pennsburg. Pa, Dec. S.--Notwith.
standing the 8-3 setback in the final
game Of the season with Bethlehem
Prep, perkiomen School completed the
most successful season in several years.
The Bethlehem game. while disap-
pointment to Perkiomen supporters,
came ut the climax with Pennington
and Wyoming on the preceding Satur-
days, which left the team in poor
physical condition.
The fighting spirit which hod to be
kept at top notch for these final games
also sagged after the Perkiomen war.

half time, and was unable to meet the
come back Of the Bethlehem team In
the second half.
II il t. be remembered also that on
the Saturday preceding the bethlehem
game, while Perkiomen was fighting Its
hardest battle Of the season with Wy
oming, Bethlehem was resting.
The largest turn out Of candidates in
the history Of Perkiomen met the call
nf Coach Hartman, and never during
the season did the squad drop below
thirty five. Many Of these were light
and green. h%wever, but made good re-.
serve material.
Results Gratifying
The results Of the season taken as
a whole are most gratifying. Schuyl.
kill Seminary, National Farm School
end West Chester Normal were decis-
lively defeated. second and third string
men seeing action in all of these con =
tests.
The victory over Pennington School
was perhaps the brightest spot in the
teams accomplishments.
Pennington lost only to Perkiomen.

pionship of New Jersey, by reason Ct
defeating by large margins Borden

Blair, st. Benedicts and Seton Hall,
as well as Williamson Trade School

In view Of the fact that Hill School

! was not scored upon, the score Of 14-0
against Perkiomen Is looked upon with
considerable satisfaction by Perkiomen
supporters. This was the lowest score
to which any opponent held Hill School
this season.

the lowest score a Perkiomen team ever
held the up State eleven in football. An
unlucky tumble gave Wyoming this
score. Penn Fresh merely nosed out
ahead by a one point margin. the score
being 10.
Coach Hartman started the season
with only two letter men from last
year, together with several substitutes
and scrubs. PerkiOmen students point
with considerable elation to the fact that
II nucleus Of seven regulars and about
dozen second string men are expected
back another year, something which has
