Lansdale inaugurated their 1939 Campaign when the invading Sell-Perk eleven was trounced in a 21-6 victory for the home team.

On October 7, although the Cowanites won their second home tilt by a 19-7 victory over the Erdenheim gridders, the squad sustained a setback. Paul Detwiler, right end, suffered a wrenched knee and was lost to the team for the rest of the year.

The next game was played at Hatboro High School on October 14, and even though the scrappy Maroon pigskinners outplayed the Hatters in yardage gained, they lacked the necessary scoring punch
Lansdale and Jenkintown High battled to a 0-0 stalemate the following week on the home gridiron. It was another hard fought game in which Paul Detwiler was most decidedly missed.

November 4th saw the Cowanites outclass their hosts, the Quaker-town eleven, 13-6, in a third period offensive. The Lansdale lads came back after they had been held to few gains in the first half, to score twice to the one tally of the hapless Quakers.

The Indians journeyed here on November 11 and returned to Souderton on the short end of a 13-0 score. The Big Red team met the Maroons at their peak, for not only did the line demonstrate the best blocking of the season, but the backfield showed equal strength on the offense.

Undefeated Ambler was the next opponent and the Cowanites were determined to revenge their defeat by the Trojans last year, which spoiled the Maroon's unblemished record of fourteen consecutive wins. But now it was Ambler's turn to protect a string of fourteen consecutive victories. Four thousand people witnessed one of the most spectacular games ever played in the Bux-Mont League, when they saw Lansdale conquer Ambler, 3-0, end the Shingletowners' winning streak, and tie them for first place in the league. Woffindin's long pass to Moyer set up the lone tally. After three unsuccessful attempts to cross the goal line, Captain Hartman kicked a field goal which turned out to be the only score of the game. Both teams fought hard both on the defense and offense, displaying some of the best football ever seen in the league.

In the Annual Turkey Day clash with Doylestown a crowd of 5000 saw an outfought and outspirited Doylestown eleven give way to a mighty Maroon team. The Cowanites outplayed their hosts in the first half, but the Wolfemen rallied in the second half, but the strong Maroon line prevented them from pushing the ball over the last stripe. The Maroon's 7-0 victory over the Seaters tied up the series, Lansda.le 7 wins, Doylestown 7 wins, also one tie.

The strongest line Lansdale ever produced placed three men, Captain Hartman, guard Daly, and Center Corrado on the all Bux
Mont team. Bob Weber, Frank Virgilio, and Bud Woffindin rated the second team. Congratulations to Coach Cowan and his assistant Coach Crawford, for another successful season!
