Neither head \ coach Fredericks nor assistant coach Bossert would venture any predictions whatsoever. j Numbering 39 members, 31 of -whom are freshmen or sophomoves, | the " 3 9 " squad is exceptionally! light and inexperienced, rnd facos a herculean task in opposing such formidable opponents as West Chester, Shippensburg and Geneva. One bright spot on the other-1 wise dull gridiron horizon is the highly commendable attitude shown on the field. The coaches' are well pleased with this attitude j and are looking forward to devel- J oping an eleven to compare with the State championship outfits of recent years. The schedule, which hasn't a single soft spot, is: Sept. 30—Indiana, home. Oct. 7—Cortland, home. Oct. 14—Kutztown, home. Oct. 21—Bloomsburg, away. Oct. 28—West Liberty, away. Nov. 4—Geneva, away.
