ff In i A S1 B CLASS FOCDTBALL I.'l'llUUGll the lightweights did not have a championship team, they were second in the league. At the first of the season the team lost two of its first string men by accidents received in the games. This year's lightweights showed that they had teamwork and sportsmanship, for they could lose as well as win. The team lost only three games and these by a small margin. .Ns the team this year could not decide which of the two men it wished for captain, it made both men captains. Francis Henry was line captain, and jack McNVlierter, backfield captain. lloth men understood the game and always showed up well in their ability to play. Kenyon Richard was injured in the first game of the season and received a broken jaw, an accident which disabled him for the rest of the season. Russell Todd broke his arm during practice one evening and was disabled for the rest of the season. lloth of these men seemed to be first string material. Coach Kelly has proved to us that he is a coach by putting a group of inexperienced men into a team and having the team take second place in the league. The lightweight team had two practice games. The first one was with Strathmore. The team showed in this game that it had real foot- ball material by coming out on the large end of the score of 27-O. The team's second practice game was with llakersfield. l3akersfield was considered the strongest lightweight team in the valley and won from Yisalia hy a large score, 20-7. The first league game of the season for the team turned out to be successful, Yisalia winning by a score of 7eO
