1934: THE TRENTON EAGLES - INDEPENDENT TRENTON FOOTBALL TEAM

These formidable jocks are ready to take on any challengers as they pose for the team photo of the Trenton Eagles football team. I'm sure Ralph Zucarella will be able to add some color to this post where there is a "Chick" Zucarella whose name I assume was incorrectly entered instead of "Chuck." Help me out here, Ralph.Anyone who saw the recent movie "Leather Heads" will relate to this photo. Three members of the team are wearing their leather football helmets.

HI TOM....THAT CHUCK WAS NOT MY BROTHER, AND OF COURSE IT'S ZUCARELLA, NOT LUCARELLA. I WAS VERY FAMILAR WITH THE EAGLES FOOTBALL TEAM DURING MY YOUNGER YEARS. WE WORKED WITH JIMMY PETRUSSIO AT THE POST OFFICE, WHO WAS ONE OF THE EAGLES STARS ALONG WITH LARRY MANGINE'S BROTHER AND MANY OTHERS. SAMMY CORTI, ANOTHER FRIEND, WAS ALSO VERY ACTIVE WITH THE TEAM. THEY WERE MOSTLY FROM NORTH TRENTON AND DID VERY WELL. BEST REGARDS.
