The football season for the year of 1937 proved to be quite unsuccessful. The returning lettermen numbered six. They were as follows: Leslie Wilson, Clark McCann, Tom Demos Jr., Gene Swartz, Earl Nicholson, and Clovis San- ders. In the spring of 1936, for various reasons, there was no spring football practice. Practice did not get under way in the fall until quite late due to the fact that a new coach had not yet been procured. Y ' e Vi-i- Once the season was under way interest grew throughout the season. About 17 boys reported for practice at the beginning of the season, and about 35 were attending practice regularly at the close of the season. The season's results were as follows: The first game of the season was with Buffalo at Gillette. The Bisons defeated the Gillette team by a score of 20-0. They were paced by the star halfback Pete Camino who was voted to be the Northeastern Wyoming District's most valuable player. The next game was with the Midwest Oilers at Gillette. This was a game where two green, inexperienced teams met. Both teams seemed to be very strong on defense but they had not yet learned the strategy of offensive playing. This was proven by the score which was 0-0. The next game the Gillette Camels journeyed to Spearfish for a night game. The Spear- fish team, big and fast, played very brilliant football. In this game the Camels made the first touchdown of the season. But in the end, chiefly due to a flashy passing attack, the score was 32-6 in favor of Spearfish. The fourth game of the season was that annual game with the Sheridan Broncs. Although this game was pointed, the Camels proved unable to stop from re- ceiving a terrific beating. The Broncs played a deceptive hidden ball type of play and the game was featured by long runs. After the score was finally counted it was found that the Camels had been once more defeated by a score of 51-0. The fifth game was with Newcastle, there. The Dogies went on a scoring spree, playing a hard line smashing game. They defeated the Camels 32-0. Sundance played Gillette at Gillette for the annual November 11 game. This was the Camels last chance to break into the winning column. The chances looked rather slim. Newcastle had been defeated by Sundance by a score of 19-17. In spite of that fact the Camels upset the dope bucket and defeated the Sundance Bulldogs 27-0. 50

Boys' Basketball When the call was issued at the beginning of basket ball season it was found that graduation had left only two lettermen from the previous year. They were Earl Nicholson and Sam Dillon. In spite of this fact the Camels enjoyed a moderately successful basket ball season. Due to a matter of ineligibility made through age error the Camels were obliged to forfeit nine games, leaving the season's record as follows: Games won, 7 Games forfeited, 9 Games lost, 1 51
