In the following game Edison secured a one-sided xictory of 23 to 17. Jefferson was tied, 6 all, and Washington closed the season by defeating the locals 13 to 11. Although the Eagles had four lettermen back to play, they could not stop their op- ponent's attact. Barnett, former middle- weight star, captained the team. Class B ' LAYING under a spell that held the Eagle middleweights from champion- ships in 1926 and 27, the 1928 clan entered the final duel with hopes of regis- tering Middleweight surpremacy only to be overcome by the powerful Washington crew that collected the cup in '27 .

The locals fell to the short end of a 13 to 14 fray. The Eagles threatened the title after three bombarding victories over Franklin, 17 to 7, Edison, 31 to 6, and Jefferson, 21 to 9, Captain Holbrook rung up a total of 35 points to lead his team. Class C ERMANENT possession of the light- weight trophy was obtained by the Midget squad by virtue of staging four fast victories over their rivals for the third consecutive year. The 1926 and 27 teams partially paved the way to victory by nabbing championships, and the '28 squad flattened all comers by heavy scores. Franklin was the first to bow to defeat after the Eaglets had romped them 23 to 3. Edison lost the next clash in a close battle that ended 8 to 5. Jefferson was the third victim and lost under an 8 to 2 score. Washington took the final count, 12 to 2, which lowered the lightweight curtain fContinued on Page Fifty-fourl .Q-Ex. ...

For the second year since Hamilton made its debut ,the Eagles have produced a cham- pionship team. With six lettermen that were contenders on the "26" team returning and Norman Franklin as captain, the local squad con- quered their invaders in brilliant form. Class C HE Eagle Midget gridiron clan, under Coach Bathke and Captain Clark, fenlivened lightweight speedball hopes in a barrage that registered four straight E l verdicts. The Midgets silenced Franklin in the opener, 31 to 4, and emerged winners l over Edison, 14 to 8, and over Washington, l the '26 champs, 11 to 6. By virtue of con- i quering Jefferson, 7 to 3, the squad yield- ed another cup to the school's collection. The champ-magnets stacked an impressive total of 63 points to overwhelm their op- ponent's 21. i Galaz, Clark, Hoos, Rosenberg and ,Stephens featured in a constant attack lthat bewildered all competition.
