X R, I II XIA LIGHTWEIGHT FOOTBALL Coach Pendleton had a good turnout for football. Several lettermen and several Pee Wees were among the ones seeking positions. The Baby Colts had a steady and heady player in Captain Merrill. They also had a good line and a fast backfield. The Baby Colts traveled to Brea for their first practice game. They came home with a I2-6 score from Brea second string heavies. They were beaten by the Prep School by a I3-0 score. Then Covina trimmed Whittier by I3-6 in a fast and hard fought game. The Lightweights were cleaned by the heavy john Muir team to the tune of I3-6. Covina next ran wild over Orange and came home on the long end of a Z4-0 score. Fullerton was the next team the Lightweights fell before, losing a hard-fought game, I 310 Next came Pomona Lightweights. After outplay- ing Pomona for three quarters, Covina let them beat them, I3-0. ln the last game of the season, the younger Colts scrapped as they never had before and held Anaheim's championship team to a I9-0 score. Although the score was against them, they were not outplayed. The Colts had a successful season under Coach Pendleton. Good luck to next year's Lightweights. KENT WILLIAMS. i A Q. Morrill K.

Professor Ross dancing about a bonfire, shrieking sirens, blaring horns and the exultant shouts of half-mad townspeople greeted the weary victors as the train from Bakersfield pulled in late tonight. Before anyone could sleep, the day's events had to be told and re- told to the stay-at-homes. The train, which left Covina at 5:30 carry- ing the team and about two hundred fans, reached Bakersfield at l2:30 and the players were taken to the field in a fine bus. The Colts proceeded to Drub the Drillersn and did so after a thrilling battle that was always in doubt. The score was I9-l 3 in the best game so far, and no one had anything but admiration for the Bakersfield fellowsg they played a fine game and were the best and cleanest sports we have ever played. At the station, the Bakersfield rooters cheered until the train left. The trip home was eventful. The dinner, at which the squad had first chance, was excellent. A rush for the observation car was made fol- lowing the feed, and a regular free-for-all ensued. Coach went on a tour of investigation with a lantern to determine the truth about goings- on in the dark car where the lights had gone out. He was amazed to find his well trained athletes quite up on all the latest strangle holds. Atmel, Fischer, Shively, Duncan and Lan- phear fno one knows which one, were out- standing. We won't name the ladies. 13. Jack Brown, of the Covina Theater, treated the entire mob in honor of our victory. 14. A-Wah-Heh Club presented Grandma Pulls the Strings for assembly. Hcardinal and White came out in brilliant orange dress in honor of the Bakersfield game. 15. Nearly everyone has caught up on sleep and awakened to the fact that an old romance has blossomed again. ln case you hadn't no- ticed it, we'll tell you that it is Dutch and Dick. Class D wonder team defeated the Crammites I3-0. IZSJ

The Girls' League Hi Jinx date is set for Friday night and the only excuse for another postponement can be rain. joy to the worldl The Lighties got licked by Fullerton, 0-I3. Something is wrong in Czechoslovakia. The Girls' Gym Club gave a program at the Grammar School. Wait till we see it in assem- bly before we pass judgment. Old man Flu, prefers redskins and he's now working on Sherman. The game was called off because of his success. 20. Found out we play Fullerton Friday. They hashed us last year. Flu is going strong. 21. Just for variety, assembly came this afternoon when Dean Miller of U. S. C. spoke on Law in which he outlined the study and preparation for a lawyer. Someone made the announcement in a big loud voice that the Hi Jinx was postponed. 22. The report cards came out today, so in order to live up to the punk grades the Lighties lost to Anaheim, l9-0. The Anaheimers were heavy and rated as a premier lightweight squad. 23. We're going to have a rally! We had the rally and Fullerton was squelched, 33-Zl Covina was all het up and rambled wild. Gene and Harold ripped and tore, while the line held. Stew Hailed the ends for many a tackle and johnson blocked up the center in great shape. Fullerton hung two points early on Gene's blocked punt, but Gene Harold and Lanphear came back with all kinds of spectacular runs and the game ended 36-2, with the second string trying for more. Our victory over Fullerton should give Co- vina's rating a welcome boost. l30l
