The starting lineup usually consisted of Reid and Fast at ends, Butterbaugh and McGregor at tackles, Neilsen and Don Vestal at guards, Cook at center, and Baker, Hand, Garcia and Johnson in the back- field. The season opener was the Odell game, played on the home sod, September 21. Both teams battled up and down the field to no avail. Final score, 0 to 0. More successful were the reserves in their second game. They defeated the Wymore seconds by a mar- gin of two touchdowns and two extra points. Garcia was responsible for both touchdowns, running the end for the first and tossing a pass to Reid for the second. Both extra points were on passes. The first defeat of the season was suffered at the hands of the Beatrice reserves. Fairbury led by a fPage Tlzirtyfcightjl score of 7 to 6 until the final quarter when the op- ponents shook loose a runner for an end run. Final score, 13 to 7, Beatrice. The reserves next enter- tained Deshler and beat them by a score of 7 to 0. Scoring was done by Hand on a line plungeg extra point by Garcia on a pass. For their final game the Jefflets journeyed to Odell to play what looked like a duplicate of the first game until Odell scored on an intercepted pass. Final score, 7 to 0, Odell. The reserve season was distinguished by a sterling defense and a disorganized offense. Ocasionally the offense would click but hardly long enough for them to pile up a large score. Butterbaugh, McGregor, Nielson, Don Vestal, and Baker who played regularly with the second squad won major monograms by virtue of services rendered as substitutes. Line plunging by Hand and Johnson, and end runs and passing by Baker and Garcia made up the offensive. Watch charm guards, Nielsen and Vestal, kept the center of the line invulnerable to enemy attacks. Fast was occasionally drawn out of line to do the punting.

Q4 Bay Cmfibg C34 gflaciaf Uuzifz Highlight of the football season was the Jackson special train and game. 'AA good time was had by all as the boys teamed up witl1 their respective girl friends. A little confusion reigned as the band tried to get lined up on leaving the train and we1'e jostled by the crowd. The band then paraded up HO street and put on their best marching performance of the yea1'. After the parade some retired to the ten cent lunch counter for sandwiches and Cokes while others shopped. The game was disappointing after several Jeffs threats fell through as the Jacksonites took over and were victors 14 to O. Ujage Tlzwtyfxevcvi
