Football This year's football season was very poor in some respects, but it did provide practice and training for some of the up-coming students. Due to a poor turnout and lack of interest on the part of some of the players, the Trojan team was withdrawn from the league but did play five practice games. The team was very ably coached by Mr. Herbert Jergentz, who was assisted by Mr, Everett Lindsay, a graduate of Chico State who was student teaching at Durham. After weeks of practice the Trojans met Wheatland on the home turf only to go scoreless against Wheatland's 14 points. The second game was played against- the Oroville boys on their stamping grounds, but the trip was all for nothing as the Trojans were clobbered, 47 to 6. In the next game, played with Los Molinos, the Trojans did somewhat better, being beaten by a score of Z1 to 7, The Durham team got better as it progressed. Princeton was played next and was beaten by a contested score of 12 to 7. This game was played on a muddy field which seemed to be a good luck charm for the Trojans. ln the last game, which was played with Hamilton City, the Trojans were defeated by a score of 19 to 7. It is hoped that next year's team will profit by the mistakes made by this year's players and that Durham High will produce a team of which the students can be proud. 38 B
