The football destinies of Eastern High School are intrusted into the hands of Coaches XV. A. Graff. J. K. Burnham, Alan Bovard and H. C. Eeeman. Since coming to Eastern in 1928. XValter Graff has had the position of head coach in football. basketball and track. To build successful teams required experience and willingness to work. Mr. Graff has been coaching since his graduation from Western State Teachers' College in 1920 and the experience he gained before coming to Eastern has proved its worth. ln foui short years he has built up teams in this school that are followed by fans all over the state. Assistant Coach Jake Burnham has been Graffs helper for four years and with each new season his worth and ability have stood out. Jake has charge of the linemen on the gridiron and it is due to his capable and efficient work that the lines of the Quaker football teams have been recognized throughout the state for their strength and power. Besides coach- ing football. Mr. Burnham is the reserve basketball coach.

Little FOOTBALL SEASON REVIEW The gridiron hopes of Eastern were not exceptionally bright at the beginning of last season. When the call for candidates was first issued. over one hundrd boys answered. eager for hard work. Of these. only four lettermen of the Five A League championship team were back. They were Captain John Kruszewski. Leo Pricco. John Turik. and Eugene Raff. These boys were counted on to hll their posts at l..T., IEE.. R.T., and QB. The big job was to fill the gaps left open by such stars as 'AI.efty Miller. Chet Ross. Ugo Pricco. and Frank Hoff. In two weeks time these holes were filled and the team was ready for its first game. On the night of September 25. a green. inexperienced. but willing eleven met the Ithaca Farmers. The Ithaca team was the prefgame favorite. but when the opening whistle blew. the blue and gold of Eastern tore down the field with the fury of a young avalanche. Under the leadership of Kruszewski. Pricco. and Turik. the Fighting Quakers completely outplayed the Ithaca boys and smothered them by a score of -H to O. The game put a bit of confidence into the boys and the next week they worked hard and long preparing for the game at Bay City. On October 3. they packed their bags and traveled to meet the Wolves of Bay City. The opening kickeoff was the start of a vicious battle. The Quakers had to summon all of their strength and strategy against the up-state lads who had a well organized and experienced team. The game was a breath-taker. Twice Eastern threatened to score: once the perspiring Pennsylvanians had the ball on the one-yard line only to be stopped. The game seemed to be a deadlock when suddenly Eastern threw a pass. It was intercepted: only the goalposts were ahead of the ballcarrierp a touchdown seemed inevitable when a gold jersey came from nowhere and stopped him on the four yard line. It was Raff. The Quakers made every eifort to repel the final onslaught of the XVolves. but in vain. When the gun announced the finish. Eastern was on the end of the 6-O tally. The following Friday. October 9, Saginaw Arthur Hill was met on Pattengill Field in a night game. Neither team could get under way as the Held was a sea of slippery mud. The teams seesawed between the twenty yard stripes for most of the evening. Toward the close Page One Hundred Thirty-one
