Picture Information:
This partial article is from June, 1977. The name of the paper is unknown. There is a more complete article in the Sunday Trentonian, June 17, 1977. Eddie played professional soccer for the Mercerville Juniors prior to World War II. As of 1977 their winning record had never been beaten. In May, 1941 they captured the National Championship in Philadelphia, a historic moment in Trenton sports. It was even all the more historical, according to the Trentonian, because the team was new and untried and was not considered to be championship material when they started that year. This team broke up after war was declared and many of the members joined the service. An original photo of the one shown in the article above is in Debbie's picture collection. Eddie is seated on the bottom right and is looking away from the camera. He was 20 years old when this photo was taken. He did not attend the reunion
mentioned in the article.
