MADLE LEAVE to cross their opponent's last chalked line, as tl1ey resorted to defensive play almost entirely. In the second half Fairmont Hi opened up a bit and carried the ball to East Side's five yard line, only to lose it on downs. Neither team scored this half, the game ending in a scoreless tie. During the encounter the Icemen,' made ten first downs to five of the Yellow Jackets, and the lads from over the river failed to get the ball any closer than our thirty-yard marker. The Saturday after the East Side game the Fairmont Hi lads took their last trip of the season, journeying to VVeston. Judging from reports of Weston's record of the season, we hoped only to hold them to a tie, as we had done a year before. At 3:30 the game started, and we determined to give the old school all we had. After a few minutes of play we scored a safety for two points. In the final minutes of the first quarter a touchdown was registered against the Weston team. But they turned in the next quarter and scored a touchdown, the score standing 8-6 in Fairmont's favor at half time. In the second half the Blue and White warriors came back strong on both offense and defense. During this frame the Fairmont team scored two more touchdowns, while VVeston scored none. When the final whistle sounded and the mud was cleared away, the Blue and White warriors came away from Weston on the long end of a 21-6 score, with the scalp of Weston at their belts and a goodly share of the Bailey House silver-ware in their pockets. Next came Fairview on Friday, Nov. 2-Lth. The Fairmont lads, burning to get revenge for their many defeats in basketball and baseball received at the hands of Fairview, went into the contest bent on getting justice. During the four quarters of play the Fairmont Hi team crossed Fairview's goal line six times and kicked five goals after touchdowns for a total of forty-one points, while Fairview was unable to score a single point. The final score was Fairmont 4-l, Fairview 0. The last game of the season was played on Vvednesday afternoon of Nov. 29th, with Victory Hi of Clarksburg. During the game Fairmont played in hard luck while Victory got all the brakes. Fairmont Hi tried two goals from the field, both of which missed the cross bar only a few inches, and two passes, one on the goal line and one over it, were fumbled, either one of which if held would have won the game for the Blue and White. The final scor was 7-13 in Vic- tory's favor. I Considering the season as a whole, it was a successful one for Fairmont High School. Out of ten games played the team won five, lost four, and tied one. Coach Ice deserves all the credit and praise the school can give him for rounding out and developing a winning team. The members of the squad that stuck throughout the season, taking their knocks and bumps as they came to them, also deserve the praise of the school. They won from some of the best schools of the state and beat the State Champions by one point.
