Joyce, An ' LEAD 00NFERENGE IN ATTENDANCE MARSHFIELD AT ANTIGO A light but formidable Marshfield team were Antigo's host and were treated rather roughly to the tune of 12-0. The score was kept low by the quick and very efhcient punts of Carnahan, Marshfield captain. Ander- son and Fermanick each scored once to give Antigo 12-'Marshfield 0. WAUSAU AT ANTIGO Before .the largest crow of the sea' son, the Antigo Team, under-dogs and having an undefeated team to cope with, rose up and took the highly prized Lumberjacks by a 7-0 count. The 5,000 people saw the Ants bottle up the famed passing attack, Young to Nimz, and go on to win. Anderson scored a touchdown by skirting left end and added the point by the same methodhFinal score-Antigo 7-VVauw sau 0. ANTIGO AT POINT On a snowy and wind-swept field the Ants met a strong Point team and held them to a scoreless tie. The Ants made 12 flrst downs to the Point- ers' five. Fumbling was frequent on part of centers, backs, and ends as hands were blue with cold. Skodin- ski and Kirsch played well for thc Ants as did Anderson, back field ac-e. Final count-Antigo 0-Point O. RHINELANDER AT ANTIGO Featuring a. hard charging line and a fast stepping backfield the I-Iodags whipped the locals by a 31-6 score. Diercks scored for Antigo by sneak- ing over from the one yard line early in the second period. Lewis played a bang-up game for Rhinelander as did their big line. Many seniors bqwed out in this game and, although they lost they gave their fighting best. Final-Antigo 6-Rhirielander 31..

END 0F FO0TBALL SEASUN FIND mason ELECTED Houonmw cnmm FOOTBALL SUMMARY The Antigo High School team of 1937 was a well balanced club, despite the fact that only s-even experienced lettermen returned from the previous year. Averaging about 155 pounds, the team, composed of smart and will ing players, finished the season with a .500 percentage. The line, a trifle unsteady at the season's opening de- veloped into one of the best in the Valley while the back field, a very fast combination, was no doubt as good as any. The Ants tied Mari- nette ,Point, and the Rapids, defeated Wausau and Marshfield and in turn were defeated by Rhinelander and M-errill. Although the team didn't lead thc conference in wins, they had by far the best backing in the Wisconsin Valley. At the end of the season the boys cl-acted Ray Kirsch honorary Cap- tain. MARINETTE AT ANTIGO In a non-conference game, the Ants held a powerful Marinette machine to a six-all tie. A fair crowd of some 2,000 fans saw Grane score the initial touch down of the 37 season early in the game from the four-yard line. Marinette, however, came back very strong and Waugas scored their lone touchdown in the last three minutes of the game. Score-Antigo 6fMar- inette 6. ANTIGO AT RAPIDS The Friday following the Marinette game the locals took to the road and traveled to Rapids. In a defensive battle the Rapids had the Ants hack on their heels from the opening kick- off. Three times, the Kirk-m-en rose to heroic heights and stopped the march of the Rapids. Fisher, Ant tackle, looked very impressive in this game as did Gross, small Rapids full. Final-Antigo 0-Rapids 0. ANTIGO AT MERRILL In a heart breaking contest the Merrillites eked out a 6-0 win over :1 better Ant team. Three times the Ants pushed the ball within the five' yard line only to be denied a score. A pass, Detert to Rajek, was turned into six points early in the second half. Hal Fermanlck, sophomore fullback, practically ripped the Mer- rill line to shreds. However, when the occasion called for a goal-line stand the stubborn Merrill boys were not to be budged.
