The South Philly Football Rivalry SC/Neumann/N-G vs. Southern -   This story was written in 1983 in anticipation of Game No. 50 . . . By Ted Silary   The Thanksgiving football rivalry between Southern and St. John Neumann (nee Bishop Neumann , nee Southeast Catholic, called South Catholic for short) has come a long way.   No further than sports writing, though.   Check out these two dynamite paragraphs from the Inquirer of Nov. 30, 1934, which were carried under a headline - "So. Catholic Foe Loses to Southern" - that made readers scratch their heads even more than they already were scratching them (hey, where to go Christmas shopping is a big decision).   "Turkey Day was celebrated in gallant fashion yesterday by the grid team of Southern High when they handed a fighting but less experienced team from South Catholic a 26 to 0 triumph before 2,000 rooters at the Municipal Stadium. Southern, after having a very poor season, losing five league games and only tying one, came to life with a vengeance and battered their section rivals unmercifully for four quarters, with its backs ripping to shreds the Rocks' forward wall and secondary."   Yeccch! If the teams had played as poorly as the mini-story was written, the series would not have made it to Game 2, let alone Game 50.   As we said, the Southern- Neumann series ( Neumann -Southern, if you insist) has come a long way. Tomorrow at 11 a.m., the teams will go a short way, abandoning their dual home field at 12th and Bigler streets to play their golden anniversary game at the Vet.   Neumann probably will win, as it has done 31 times overall and 23 times in the last 26 meetings. That's OK. It's the nostalgia that counts. Isn't it?   "It bothers me that Southern hardly ever beats Neumann ," said Anthony ''Reds" Coletta. "I wonder if Neumann 's kids are more conscientious about football , maybe smarter. Whatever it is, it's a shame Southern doesn't win more often."   Southern certainly had no trouble beating then-South Catholic when Coletta lined up at tailback. Coletta played four times (1943-46) against the Pirates ("I hung around an extra year," he said, laughing. "The rules weren't too strict in those days") and collected four easy wins by a total score of 129-18.   Also, he starred as Southern swept city championships in '44 and '45, beating West Catholic, 13-7, before 35,000 at Franklin Field and West again, 18-13, before 54,000 at Franklin Field, thanks to three TDs in the last eight minutes.   Ah, those were the days.   "You should see the scrapbook I have," said Coletta, who later played for Villanova, though not spectacularly, and for 30 years has worked in Du Pont's research department. "We had tremendous teams and got tremendous coverage. Film clips of those city title games were shown all over the world.   "It's an unbelievable feeling when your buddies come back from the service in Europe and they tell you, 'We saw you beat West on the newsreel.' "   Coletta's Southern-South Catholic memories are not quite as vivid, but he does recall scoring 25 points in the '44 game.   "The funny thing is, I didn't even want to go to Southern," Coletta said. ''I wanted to go to Bartram or Northeast. Those were the schools with the names, but I didn't live in either of those areas. Southern hadn't been that good, but a lot of good players came at once and we had a very good coach, Joe Pitt.   "I'll tell you, we were a powerhouse. Our line averaged 220 to 230 pounds, which was amazing for a high school team at that time."   Meanwhile, it's no coincidence South Catholic began to turn the Turkey-filled table on Southern toward the end of the '40s.   It was in 1946 that Paul Bartolomeo, a Southern and Holy Cross all-timer called "Bart" even by his wife, started coaching the Buccos. He lost three times to the Rams in his first four years, then only three times in his next 29 years with a tie mixed in for good measure.   Coincidentally, Bart coached for the last time (against Southern in 1978) the same day North Catholic topped Frankford, 21-14, in a game played at the Vet to celebrate the 50th anniversary of that series.   You might be wondering, where was Bart, who still teaches at Neumann, on Thanksgiving Day, 1934?   "Up at Holy Cross, where I was the captain of the undefeated freshman team," Bart said. "The varsity was playing Boston College that Saturday.   "That's right. I missed playing in the series by one year. They must have put the game together fast. When I was still at Southern the previous spring, I can't remember any discussion about a series being started with South Catholic. But my brother Vincent played in it for Southern when I was at college and then I coached my other brother, Albert, in it at South Catholic.   "I can't remember too much about specific games. Even if I could, you always get in trouble when you say things like, 'This was the best game . . . That was the best play.' I know one thing, though. Losing to Southern could make good years lousy and beating them could make average years great."   The last time the game was played somewhere other than 12th and Bigler was in 1962.   "We played at Northeast's field," Bart recalled. "In '61, we played at the field behind La Salle College. Those two years, something was wrong with the field at 12th and Bigler. Neither of us could play our regular games there."   Next year, Southern and Neumann will return to 12th and Bigler.  Dec. 5, Neumann will return to the Vet for the Catholic South final against St. James.   Some teams have all the luck. In this series, that same team has most of the wins.   NOTES: Southern has produced four NFL/AFL players (John Sandusky, 1950-55 Browns, 1956 Packers; Jack Del Bello, 1953 Colts; Ray Abruzzese, 1962-64 Bills; Bobby Petrella, 1966-71 Dolphins) to Neumann 's one (Ed Cook, 1958-65 Cardinals, 1966-67 Falcons) . . . Southern coach John Pendino and Neumann coach Bill Brannau both played for their respective schools.

  This story was written in 2001, when low numbers forced Southern to halt its season
and interrupt the Thanksgiving series . . .

By Ted Silary
  It was as if Anthony "Reds" Coletta were back in a leather helmet, the one without a facemask.
  It was as if he were completing a run and, bam!, an opponent was delivering a forearm smash to the bridge of his nose.
  Coletta, among the more celebrated players in Southern High's football history, was jarred Nov. 7 when he learned
low numbers/safety concerns had terminated the season with three games remaining.
  Coletta knew what that meant, and it pained him deeply: Southern's Thanksgiving series with St. John Neumann
(nee South Catholic) would be interrupted after 67 years.
  "What a sad thing," Coletta said, taking a break from raking leaves at his home in Pitman, N.J. "C'mon. No
Southern-Neumann game? Unbelievable. I never thought that would happen. Never."
  For years - no, decades - the Rams mostly experienced emotions ranging from sadness to outright depression in the
neighborhood rivalry, claiming just six wins after 1949.
  But when Coletta was playing, and just before and just after, oh, did the Rams have fun.
  They swept all six games from 1942 to '47, and Coletta was a major factor in the biggest party of all, Southern's
44-12 frolic in '44.
  Reds that morning put his team in the pink, collecting 25 points on four touchdowns and a PAT.
  He was only a junior, and greater fame was still to come.
  In 1945, in front of 54,000 at Franklin Field, off a fake field goal with 10 seconds remaining, halfback Coletta, the
would-be kicker, threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to quarterback Al Tulinsky, the would-be holder, to lift Southern
over West Catholic, 18-13, for the City Championship.
  That game is widely considered the best in city history because the Rams overcame a 13-0 deficit in the final 7
minutes, 40 seconds.   The highlights were shown worldwide in movie theaters by Paramount News, which dubbed
the classic "The Bobby Socks Bowl."
  Long ago and far away . . .
  When principal David Strolle wacked Southern's season, coach Bill Edger was routinely dressing 19 to 22 players.
Many were young, small and inexperienced. The Rams were 0-7 and had been outscored, 284-28.
  "One thing this proves, things never stay the same," Coletta said, wistfully. "Every time I go back to South Philly,
people remember the good old days. Now? It's like a blow. It really hurts. Ever since, I've been talking to my
buddies. They can't get over it, either.
  "That night, when one of the [TV] stations had something about it, and they talked about our era, my wife [June]
was kidding me. 'Now you're an antique. A relic. ' "
  He laughed. "I know I'm up there. I'm in the fourth quarter. I just hope I have more than three timeouts left."
  The second Wednesday of every month, Coletta and some of Southern's other "up there" star athletes, along with
friends, meet for lunch at Degenhardt's Restaurant, in Mount Ephraim, N.J., to swap stories and, as Coletta said
dryly, "listen to Bill Esher's corny jokes."
  Esher, universally regarded as one of the all-time good guys, is a '46 Southern grad and the president of the
school's alumni association.  He also owns an off-the-wall city record - most years between coaching - because he
guided Southern in '56 and '81 while filling in for others.
  His primary desire these days is to make sure Southern- eumann is interrupted, not terminated. In other words,
he doesn't want the Rams' program to die.
  Esher strongly believes Southern football will survive only if the school district allows it to add players from one
or more of the other public high schools in South Philly (Audenried, Furness, Girard Academic Music Program)
that do not offer football.
  "We're not asking these kids to transfer to Southern," Esher said. "We're just asking for the chance to have
them on our football team.
  "We're putting together a committee among people in our alumni association to see if we can push this issue. It's
not just us. Other schools could use the numbers help for football."
  Strolle sees no need. Or maybe, more accurately, he sees no hope.
  "That idea [combo teams] has been nixed so many times," he said, sounding weary.
  "I think we've taken things for granted, a little," he added. "We need to rededicate ourselves. We're going to
push to build our numbers. Some of our kids need to quit profiling on the street corners and start participating in
extracurricular activities.
  "The kids were very angry when we shut down the season. If they had not been, I would have been
disappointed."
  Southern's program indeed enjoyed glorious moments, producing five Public League championships from 1944
to '65. But after '73, when they fell to Frankford, 14-13, in the final, the Rams never had more than six wins in
a season until '97, when they stormed to the Division D title, posted a school-record six consecutive shutouts
and went 8-3 overall. Just the previous season, they had halted a city-record losing streak of 56 games.
  Southern last enjoyed Thanksgiving in '89, when the rushing of Jeff Wilson (14 carries, 117 yards, two
touchdowns) and Thomas Gay (12-79, TD) highlighted a 26-6 victory. It was the first time Southern won in the
series by more than eight points since '46 (39-0).
  Meanwhile, many Neumann wins were nth-degree blowouts.
Just last year, Pasquale "Pat" Narducci ran for four TDs as the Pirates pounded Southern, 61-6. In the 69-12
game of '93, Anthony Sheridan scored five times on rushes and once on a reception. In the 43-0 game of '87,
Daryl Nelson rushed for 337 yards. In the 40-22 game of '81, Larry Barretta threw for three scores and ran for
two more. (The family had mixed emotions. Larry's dad, Sebastian "Ben" Barretta, was a first-team
All-Public back for Southern in '47. )
  In the early years, Esher said, the game was played at Municipal Stadium. "All of us downtown people
pronounced it mew-nee-CIP-al," he cracked. That later became Kennedy Stadium and is now the site of the
First Union Center. The game moved to nearby 11th and Bigler streets in the early '40s. The 50th game, in '83,
was played at Veterans Stadium. Neumann won, 25-13, as Len Nelson, Daryl's brother, rushed for 156 yards
and three TDs.
  Will there be a 68th game? Will Southern again play football?
  Something to ponder while tackling turkey. Perhaps with a tear in your eye.

  This story was written in 1987 after Neumann's Daryl Nelson scorched the Rams
for 337 yards . . .

By Ted Silary
  As many times as coach Ray Gionta and his St. John Neumann football staff watched the videotape of yesterday's
43-0 victory over Southern, they never became bored by the subject matter.
  The reason: Daryl Nelson , a 6-2, 180-pound wing-T fullback, fashioned one of the finer rushing performances in
Southeastern Pennsylvania history.
  After checking and rechecking, and repeating the process, Gionta and Co. determined that Nelson, who scored two
touchdowns, carried 27 times for 337 yards. The effort gives him the No. 5 spot on the list for one-game rushing
yardage.
  Cardinal Dougherty's Lawrence Reid, who later played for Michigan, holds the city record, having rumbled for 379
ards in a 1975 game.
  "After Daryl ran for a 72-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter, I knew he was getting up there," Gionta said.
"Our guy on stats added up Daryl's numbers quick and came up with 287. I figured, 'Well, a couple more carries and
we'll get him over 300.'
  "When he scored again (on a 34-yard run), I knew the number had become significant. When we got back to
school, we put the tape in the machine and went over every play. We made corrections if the yardage was wrong.
Some carries it was 6 yards instead of 4, say; others it was 2 instead of 3.
  "Tonight, at his house, (assistant) Sal Intelisano went over the tape again. There was one play where we clipped
downfield and I made Sal aware of something I didn't know until after the game, that Daryl would get credit for
yardage to the point of the foul. It turned out to be 6 yards. Without the clip, he would have had 42 more yards on
that play. They got him at the 1."
  Nelson concluded the season with 278 rushes for 1,458 yards and 13 TDs. In '83, his brother, Len, who also
played for the Buccos, set a city record for rushing TDs in a season, with 28 (and 29 overall). He carried 364 times
for 1,642 yards.
  Yesterday, because he also made two receptions for 17 yards from sophomore quarterback Chris McCrosson and
returned two punts for 29 yards, Nelson ran for 383 all-purpose yards.
  "My linemen were great," Daryl said, referring to center Jim O'Mara, guards Chuck McCrosson (Chris's brother)
and Jim Riddle, tackles Frank Caccuro and Frank Del Campo and messenger tight ends Bob Tropiano and Mike
Che. "They kept saying they wanted me to finish up strong. They were saying, 'As long as we keep blocking, you
keep running through the holes. '
  "Coach Gionta said he wanted to see me go out in style, since I'd run the ball well for him all year. Last year I ran
mainly out of the halfback spot, but when coach Gionta said he was going to switch me to fullback, he said he was
doing it with the confidence that I'd be able to handle a heavy load." 
  Thus far, Nelson has received correspondence from Purdue, Temple, Georgia Tech, Clemson, North Carolina,
Indiana and Rutgers. Purdue and Temple have made direct contact.
  "I have about a 'B' average in school," Nelson said. "I took the boards (Scholastic Aptitude Test) on Nov. 7. I'm
waiting for the results."
  Aside from Nelson, Neumann's heroes included Derrick Deburow, Joe Sheridan and Sean Keenan. Deburow,
a receiver, turned a reverse into a 45-yard TD, kicked a 29-yard field goal and had four extra points. Sheridan
scored twice (5-yard pass, 5-yard run) and Keenan had three of Neumann's five interceptions.

  This story was written in 1993, when Anthony Sheridan's six TDs fueled
Neumann's 69-point explosion . . . 

By Ted Silary
  Anthony Sheridan expected little resistance yesterday.
  He was not disappointed.
  After buying 35 tickets for his closest friends and relatives, Sheridan scored six touchdowns as St. John Neumann
pasted Southern, 69-12.
  Six touchdowns are a record for a Catholic League player.
  Sixty-nine points are a record for a CL team.
  Neumann , which leads the series, 38-19-3, has pounded Southern by a total score of 160-12 in the last three
years. The final was 43-0 in 1991 and 48-0 last year.
  The Rams have dropped 32 consecutive games - two to end '90 and all 10 in each of the last three seasons.
They have been outscored in the streak, 1,076-110.
  "We knew we would win easy," Sheridan said. "We knew Southern had a lot of trouble stopping people. We
didn't prepare too much for them. Really, we (the seniors) just prepared for our last game as Pirates."
  Sheridan, a 5-11, 210-pound senior, rushed 13 times for 155 yards and five touchdowns. His scoring runs covered
4, 3, 23, 4 and 33 yards. He scored his other touchdown, his fifth overall, on a 26-yard screen pass from
quarterback Rocky Burns. A conversion run brought his point total for the day to 38.
  Neumann 's other touchdowns were scored by Rick Lombardo (15-yard run, 78- yard kickoff return), Jason
Guerrera (7-yard run) and Pat Dio (5-yard run). Dio added seven extra points.
  "We're beat up, but we're still alive," Southern coach Chuck Madison said. "Personally, I don't think they rolled it
up. It's an old rivalry, you've got neighborhood kids who know each other . . . You have to let them go a little.
They were playing second-teamers and probably third-teamers.
  "As surprising as it is to me, we're getting worse each year instead of better. That's almost impossible, isn't it? But
we are. We've very inexperienced. We only had three seniors in the starting lineup - Doug Ralph, Earl Bostic and
Lou Camissa - and Earl went out early with an ankle injury."
  Neumann led, 62-0, when Southern finally scored on a 65-yard run by Mark Cunningham out of punt formation.
Lombardo followed with his kickoff-return score, then Southern soph Sagda Haqq scampered 53 yards for the
game's 12th touchdown.
  "This was the first time all year we scored two touchdowns," Madison said. "The kids were excited about that."
  On visits to see his older brother, Joe, who lives near Second Street, Sheridan has become somewhat friendly
with Ralph. Next week, the two will again be opponents in a junior-senior CYO basketball league.
  "I feel bad for Doug. For all of them, really," Sheridan said. "They have a couple guys with speed, but that's about
it. You could tell that Doug really cared and knew what he was doing out there. On every play, he was telling guys
where to line up. "
  Sheridan finished the season with 201 carries for 1,096 yards and 18 touchdowns. He scored 19 touchdowns total.
In two seasons as Neumann 's primary ballcarrier, he ran 343 times for 1,896 yards and 26 touchdowns. He played
mostly defense as a sophomore.
  In the next week, he is expecting to talk with recruiters from a pair of Division II schools, Shippensburg and
Kutztown.
