However, the willingness of these inexperienced boys to work hard, cooperate with one another, and to iight every minute of the game were the factors that made for the success of the team. out of the ten games played, eight were won and two were lost. The game which will probably remain as the most spectacular is that with Tiffin junior Order Home. junior Order, with a veteran team was a two to one favorite- Fostoria, trailing seven to nothing at the half, came back with their characteristic rally and won a well-deserved victory, the first for Fostoria over the Orphans in ten years. the outlook for the 1934 season at present appears most gloomy. The loss of fourteen lettermen by graduation will be keenly felt. The fact that no spring football is permitted will also serve as a handicap. However, with the boys who are anxious and willing to work hard, Fostoria should again have a football team that will do her honor. the Athletic Association takes this opportunity to thank the school board, the C.W.A., and all those who made possible the improvements of our athletic field. signed - WILLIAM M.
