IN1 VJ X114 T . i Football ' y LeRoy furnished the opposition for the hrst football game ever to be played on the new athletic field. The Bloomington team functioned perfectly, as the score shows. Hard tackling, good blocking, and clever ball carrying featured the game. The final score was 52-O in favor of Bloomington. The next game was with Trinity. This was probably the hardest fought game of the season. Any of the players will verify that statement. Every man that played fought his heart out, but the team could not crush the Irish attack. One of the largest crowds ever to witness a high school game in Bloomington saw Trinity win, 6-O. On the following Saturday, the Bloomington team invaded Clinton. This was another hard fought game, but the Purple and Gold used its power effectively and scored a 7-0 victory. The next game on the schedule was homecoming. It was on this day that the athletic field was dedicated. The team gave the homecoming crowd, which was a large one, a real thrill by scoring a smashing, 26-7 victory over University High. The game at Hoopeston proved to be disastrous for the Bloomington team. Although it is true that injuries had visited the Purple Camp the previous week and that both regular ends were so badly battered that they did not even make the trip, the team as a whole did not function as it had before. The result was a 49-0 defeat. On thesecond meeting with Trinity, the Bloomington eleven was defeated by a 20-0 score. B.H.S. ended the season by .battling to a 0-0 tie with Normal High, on a field that was a sea of mud. Our opponents entered the game as favorites to win easily, but the Bloomington team would not .take a beating from their rivals from Normal. 91 .1 .vt f XA 3'7Qii -fXi' 11i?

4 lx' V-I Athletics We believe that athletic competition has a definite place in the school's activities. We believe that there is no better way to find a boy, or for a boy to find himself, than in his athletic training. It teaches him teamwork, the coordination of mind and body, the disciplining of one's self physically for several months of the year, quick thinking and acting, and the truly great quality, sportsmanship, as well as the skill of the game in which he is playing. We also believe in a well organized system of intra-mural athletics. This gives every boy in the school, as well as the players on the regular squads, a chance to par- ticipate in some athletics. This is Mr. Saar's first year as head coach at Bloomington High. Upon the resigna- tion of Former Coach j P Harrison Mr Saar was placed at the head of Bloomington High School athletics He is well liked by the student body and respected and admired by the athletes He has had experience in handling high school boys and he knows the games A man who is as well liked as our coach will produce good teams and develop high characters We voice the opinion of the whole school in WlSh1I'1U him the best of luck Bloomington High has reentercd the Big Twelve Conference The conference con sists of the larger hi h schools throughout central Illinois Football basketball baseball track swimming golf and tennis arc the sports in which it participates The competition is keen and the conference is well organized with competent men at its head At one time Bloomington High was a member of this conference but for the past few years we have been in no way connected with it Also the school dedicated its new athletic field this year It was named The Bloomington High School Athletic Field The ceremony took place on the afternoon of the homecoming game It was a beautiful day and a large crowd attended the activities The team brought the day to a climax by scor ng a smashing victory over the University High School team of Normal Coach Saar had five lettermen around which to form his team He developed a big pow rful eleven which used its strength effectively in the games it won Seven lettermen will return next autumn With th se men and the reserves that saw service this year as a nucleus for the team hopes are running high for a great season next year 90 . . , .
