The Sunday morning edition of “The Philadelphia Inquirer” on December 4, 1938 carried the headline: “KULPMONT SMEARS FERNDALE”. Underneath, smaller headlines said: ‘Temple Victor, Notre Dame Beats Army”

The Wildcats had indeed “smeared” Ferndale 50-19. Led by the running of Joe Pezelski (Pell), they had added one more convincing chapter to the growing legend of the Coal Region football.

Many of that team’s members are among this Hall of Fame’s brightest stars.
