The next week they journeyed to Rochelle and met a 19-7 defeat at the hands of the powerful Rochelle team who ultimately proved to be conference champions. In this game, Sterling was on even terms until the final quarter when injuries and forced substitutions handicapped the team. The following Saturday, Sterling played a ragged game and Dixon tied them O-O, having the upper hand most of the game. Going to Belvidere next, Sterling won a 14-7 battle from a good team although breaks of the game prevented a larger score. The heavy De Kalb High team proved too much for Sterling in the next game and carried home a 19-O victory although they had to fight hard to get it. On the following Saturday, Sterling exhibited its poorest game of the year to their keenest rivals, Rock Falls. The boys just couldn't get coordinated and despite the fact they fought hard they lost 18-6. The next week, Sterling showed its best game of the year and although they were beaten by Mendota, one of the most powerful teams in Northern Illinois, by a score of Z6fO, it seems that they should have had at least an even break. ln the annual turkey day game, Sterling played its second scoreless tie with Dixon, although the Sterlingites outplayed their ancient rivals in every department of the game. Thus ends the season of 1929 and although our boys did not gain many victories, the true calibre of the team was much better than it appears and with a fair share of luck it seems they should have had a better fate.
