Q 15.1 The Games of the Season The first game of the season Was with Obion's coach and team. But the outcome never was doubted, It looked bad for them and seemed, As if the coach himself was routed From the field with team work fast, For our line was off the second That the ball from center passed. When the first touchdown was counted Fun and frolic began to mix, And the first game ended happily, Dyersburg nineteen, Obion six. Next week hard practice followed For the game with C, B. C., The invaders out of Memphis, All in all numbered thirty-three: They were fast and hard to tackle, But the Dyersburg line held true, And the times were not very many -When the brother's backs got thru'. Our team fought to the finish, Always gaining, losing none. But one bad break in the second quarter, And the game for them was won. So the next game was with Ridgely, Which was in fact no game at all: They were green in gridiron warfare, And knew nothing of football. So we then began invasion Of foreign fields of fame, Our first opponent being Brownsville- We just couldn't lose that game, So we started with the fighting spirit, That spirit of the Black and Gold, And the victory over Brownsville Shows that spirit will ne'er grow old. We were then supposed to play Southside, Another of our 1Memphis foes: But the game with us was cancelled By them as the story goes. ' Page forty-six ,, il. Then came the game with Covington, Uncertain at the start: But the team settled down to business And everyone did his part. So we were again victorious And happy! Yes, everyone, And we telegraphed back to D. H. S. That another game was won. Then our thoughts were turned to Newbern An enemy brave and bold: But they, as others of the season, Were victims of the Black and Gold. So back to our ground of battle With a game with Jackson Highg In the balance hung the championship, We had to win that game or die, We started as at other times As faithful warriors do fTo never go down in dire defeatj For the dear Red, White, and Blue. Game over-We the victors- D. H. S. twenty-oneflackson seven, And champions of West Tennessee, Hail!!! The D. H. S. eleven. The last game was with Trimble, Trimble 0,' Dyersbarg thirty-one. So bid hello to the coming season, Good-bye to the season done. We were helped by Mr. Walker, Student body, faculty, all, Giving lessons in football. But to a successful football season We give credit to our coach: He's a man that's loved by everyone, And him we'll never reproach. -Corliss Arnett.
