Coach Duggan eliminated all of the boys except fifteen. Just before the Christmas holidays, the entire squad went to Pasadena where they handed the Pasadena quintet a sound thrashing. During the Christmas holidays Coach Duggan went to Indiana, and the team was put into the able hand of Assistant Coach Hudgings. During this period, the team played several practice games. The Tiger quintet beat Pasadena again and trounced the Beaumont Royal Purple in Houston and in Beaumont. Duggan returned as the holidays drew to a close, and he drilled the Tigers for the first interscholastic game. The San Jacinto Bears fell before the Tiger attack to the tune of 49-29. The Tigers showed lots of class. Sam Houston dropped the next two games to Davis and Reagan respectively. Both of these games were close, Davis winning by one point and Reagan winning by three points. The Tiger quintet redeemed itself the following week by beating Milby 27-26.
