The squad numbered forty-seven boys when practice started in the fall . The boys were all eager pupils and tried hard to learn their plays in time for our first game with Larsen. We lost that game in the closing seconds ofthe first half when Larsen scored their sole touchdown. The boys then hittheir stride and rolled over Ellis in their next two games. The final game of the season was a sound defeat when we bowed to Larsen 25-O.

There were over thirty boys who played in at least one of the four games . The season's opener was a rather disappointing game which was lost by a score of 6-0 to Larsen . The team then rolled rather easily over Ellis twice and met Larsen in the final game of the season . A win in this game would have meant a share of the city championship. After an exciting and hard-fought game in which fumbled kick-offs and penalties at crucial points plagued the Abbott team, the score was 7 - 7. Abbott 0 - Larsen - 6 I3 - Ellis - 6 l3 - Ellis - 0 7 - Ellis - 7 Coach Hulmes gives a blocking assignment. 37
