dosJdaM Even tho our Juco pigskin carriers didn ' t win many games last fail they made opposing teams consider them a continuous threat . The fellows were handicapped because of several injuries and few available men to substitute. However, the fellows kept right on fighting and presented unto the fans some very scrappy football games. Some of the Grizzlies returning next year show promise of being star players and we know they will help win many a glori- ous battle for E. J. C. 25

Although the squad of Coach Sumner Roberts won only six games in nineteen starts, they had a more successful season than the figures indicate. Nine games were lost by less than six points. Exciting tilts ended in defeat after the boys had put up a tough fight. It seemed to be our fate that we should lose by one or two points in the last few minutes of a game. But if this record appears poor to the observer remember that the Grizzlies were hard opponents and greatly respected by other teams in the conference. Injuries, ineligibilities, and hard luck seemed to dog our footsteps, but when the regular team was on the floor they dis- played plenty of power. They knocked off two of the loop lead- ers — Coffeyville and Parsons— in a thrilling manner. Everyone that saw our boys in action should truly commend them for their fine work. So let us pause, and give credit to the boys of the cage who fought for El Dorado Juco. Clarence Borger was captain of the team throughout the sea- son. The other squad members were Leo Hullihan, Phil Elliott, Charley Davis, John Hutter, Smitty Baker, Toady Raymond, J. Har- land Smith, James Logan, Doc McClure, Larry Ewalt, Bill Moter, Tommy Wilmarth, Gilbert Cherryholmes, and Richard Ke ller. o 24

Vcuislty This year has been one of very marked advance for the Var- sity Club. The club ' s membership was boosted considerably last fall with the entrance of the boys who made letters in football. Then, after moving into the new school building, the club set a definite time for meetings and since then the meetings have been well attended and very interesting. The Varsity Club elected new officers for the second semes- ter and they have been largely responsible for promoting more interest in the club. The officers are: Robert Lewis, presi- dent; J. Harland Smith, secretary-treasurer; Max Ferguson, ser- gent-at-arms; and Coach Roberts, sponsor. The first highlight of the Varsity Club program for this year was the fall banquet held December 11. This gala affair was followed by the Varsity Club — E Club basketball game of Mar. 16. That night the excited spectators who filled the building saw the Varsity Club rise to the height of its power by trimming the E Club in a close game. The final highlight, of the year for the club is the Spring Varsity Club Banquet. The goal the Varsity Club is striving for is the advance- ment of athletics and good sportsmanship in E. J. C— C.
