A DOGTOWN FAMILY

A person has to know his soccer when he visits any of the McVey Family, as this subject is always open for discussion, morning, noon and night.

Soccer is the dessert for every meal, and Mrs. McVey is rather used to tending to bruised shins and arching muscles.

Mr. and Mrs. Hugh McVey, of 1534 Tamm Avenue, have three sons who are Muny soccer players.

Jack McVey, star outside left of the St. James' Team, was honored this season by being selected for the All Star Junior Muny Team and sure it's a hustling lad that he is.

Bob McVey, former outside right for the St. James and St. Frances De Sales Teams, is now serving the Navy and is located in the Philippine Arena of Action.

Danny, the other member of the family is now playing for the St. James' Parochial School team and his dad would have liked to see Danny playing center forward, flanked on the left by Jack and on the right by Bob.

Incidentally, Mr. McVey was quite a star forward in his day, as a member of the Hense Championship Teams of 1923-24-25.

Mr. and Mrs. Howard (Red) McVey, of l04l Fairmount Avenue are not to be outdone by the Hugh McVey Family, as they also have three sons playing soccer in a big way.

Hughie, Jerry and Larry McVey are all members of the Eleventh District Police Juvenile Muny Team and members of the St. James' Parochial School Team.

Red McVey was quite a fullback for the Fairmount A.C. and Hense Teams in the past years and his son Hughie is following in his dad's footsteps as a fullback.

In order to make the situation more complicated "Uncle" Charlie McVey enters the picture very prominently, as he was a star outside right forward of some years back and has imparted quite a bit of soccer knowledge to his six nephews and their fathers.
