Things the boys will remember— In the Ansley game, the ball was carried over the goal twice—the score was still 0-0! Cecil Hutt always played his best when he was mad. When Jim Arnold wasn't actually playing on the field, he was playing the game on the bench—he was always just as tired when the game was over. At Gothenburg—they tried to stand up on the slick grass so they wouldn't be walked on! Callaway game—Tub Dean nearly froze to death while sitting on the bench. At the Ansley game when Gale did too much warming up and threw his knee out of place—Leo Atkisson, a freshman, took his place and made his letter. Before the Lexington game, the Pep Club fixed both teams a big feed in the gym—they blamed the Pep Club when they lost the game. Ravenna game—everyone was surprised about the score—but not nearly as much as they were! Hemp Wilson always had a sore right hand after each game from patting the kids on the back. Ray Reilly, Junior Tackle. A new man who handled his 185 lbs. like a veteran. Ray always spent a large amount of time in the opponents’ backfield. Claris Smith, Sophomore Kirk is an aggressive little sophomore who had a habit of staying on his feet regardless of the interference. He received his first big test against the Swedes.” Eddie Williams, Senior Was probably the sharpest tackier on our entire squad. He was a good broken field runner and blocked well. James Sanford, Senior A fast charging guard. Came out fast on leading interference. Ira Stone, Junior Captain-elect. He played his position like a veteran and was a deadly blocker when in the interference. A fast charger on defense. Ike also developed a very good toe and his kicking kept our opponents at bay most of the time. Hubert Fox, Senior Was an excellent manager and took care of the squad’s needs at all times.

1 Did You Know That— Custer County is just 60 years old? It was organized in 1877. One of the chief arguments in favor of organizing was that cattle and horse stealing could then be stopped more easily. It was named for the famous Indian fighter, General Custer? Its area is 2,592 square miles, which is more than the area of Delaware, and twice the area of Rhode Island? Stockmen who had traveled over the plains between here and Texas said this was the best country for ranging stock to be found in the U. S.? The history of the county is full of bloodshed and murder? The early settlers fought the Indian and the cowboy. Cattlemen, who were the first white settlers, were driven west by the homesteaders. The winter of 1880-1881 was a hard one? Ice and snow covered the feed, and as a result, about three-fourths of the cattle on the ranges died. Broken Bow and Westerville were once rivals for the county seat? Broken Bow's first newspaper, the Custer County Republican, first appeared on June 29, 1882? The first hotel in the town was run by Mr. Fleming and stood where the Grand Central was later located? The first school was taught by Mrs. M. E. Lewis in a sod house? The first bank was the Custer County Bank? The first church was built by the Methodists in 1883? It was the first brick building in town and was later used by Dr. Mullins as a sanitarium. The B and M railroad reached here in 1886? By 1887 Custer County had a bad reputation? When the train reached Mason, the brakeman announced, You have now crossed the Custer County line; prepare to meet your God. In 1888 Broken Bow was organized as a city of the second class? In the same year the first legal execution in the county took place? A man was hanged on gallows erected at the court house. In 1894 there was a drouth and financial panic? The population of the city decreased one-third.
