Football + + + This year the season started October 5th, and ended November f23rd. I will attempt to sum up the season as a whole and then give you some of the highlights of eaeh game. 'llhis year we had but one praetiee game before our league sea- son started, due to the faet that sehool did not start till late and our first league game found us in rather poor eondition, but even at that, we won it. Our seeond and third games were the toughest ones of the season, and we fell rather easy vietims to the better trained teams. Our fourth league game was lost probably beeause of the injuries of many of our main string players. Our fifth game was easily won probably beeause of the faet that our quarter- back ehanged his mind about the type of football to play and star- ted a power game. 'Phe last game of the season was with a faster but smaller team' and we won again by plain old power.

Our first league game found us still out of eondition to some extent, but we pounded through and won. 'lihat day we had wond- erful performanees from Arthur Dunlap. Dino Dal Porto, and several other prominent players. 'l'he seeond league game might be referred to as a skunking g in other words, we were l'adly beaten, both physically and mental- ly. At. one time during the game there were nine of the main string players lying on the sidelines because of injuries. This was the best game of the season as far as thrills for the team were eon- eerned. 'l'he Williams game was an exeiting affair. .Xt the beginning of the game we had the edge on them, but they had a fellow that was too fast for us, and they also used the Notre Dame system of foot- ball. whieh threw us off our game. Hamilton f ity a11d dear old Biggs high were evenly matt-hed. 'l'hey made the touehdown in the first halt' by a slip up and from then on we were helpless to do anything against them. lVe had feared Durham' for sometime and we went into the game feeling tough. but after the first play the sun eame out and we went through those fellows one hundred per eent. as you ean tell by the seore. t'l'he subs let them run the seore up to 26 points.l

The last great game ot' the season was very eventful beeause we had all of our men baek to help us win. Several times during' the game, spectacular runs were made, and long power drives were aeeomplished by a new type ot' quarter-baeking. All in all we had a wonderful season and I ean assure anyone that even it' we were badly beaten sometimes, we still had a swell time playing' the game.
