The first letter is given to those who have earned ZOO points, a certain number having been given for time played in each quarter of conference games, each letter thereafter signifies 300 points earned. To be eligible for G-Club is an honor because membership involves learning to give and take with a smile, in victory and defeat. The armed forces recognize the value of the perseverance, cooper ation, and sportsmanship acquired in athletics as preparation for physical and mental tests to be in actual combat.

Football Review of HQMEZLL With only four returning letter men--Ted Lough, Peck Leonardi, Keith Zerbe, and Bill Huber-around which the 1944 edition of the Red and White eleven had to form its nucleus, the status of this year's Yampa Valley Conference entrant was questionable. The club, with several new prospects to bolster it, met its first test of the campaign against a highly-heralded Tiger powerfhouse from Hayden, whose team boasted seven veterans of last year 's outfit which racked up 4 victories against Z losses to tie the Demons for second place. After a hectic first quarter in which the vaunted Hayden attack ripped through for a tally, the stub- born Glenwood eleven held until rhe half, the intermission explosion finding the Bengals on the long end of a 7-O count. Coming back strong, the Hayden elev- ten quickly marched to another touchdown. a triple reverse from the ZO yard line accounting for the score to dampen the hopes of the Demon gridders. Two more fourth quarter scores added to a fast rising total to leave the score at 26-0 as the final gun sounded. Game number two, a noii-conference tilt with Red White's powerful Pali- sade Bulldogs, proved almost as disastrous as the previous encounter, the Demons absorbing a 25 -6 lacing at the hands of their strong foe in the first home game of the season. The Demons, off a single-wing formation, scored only once, on a pass from Zerbe, Red and White quartet-back, who was standing on his own SO, to Eiswerth left wingman for the Glenwood aggregation, who took it on the 30 and raced downfield to paydirt. l.eonardi's kick was wide. The Bulldogs mean- while scored 2 touchdowns and added Z more after the Glenwood tally to thor- oughly swamp the home town club. The following week found an improved Glenwood eleven, operating from a well-executed T-formation, fighting a large, heavy Bulldog team to a complete standstill in the first half before weakening momentarily to allow two touchdowns and a conversion in stanza three to leave the field on the short end of a 13-6. Out-fought Craig was scored on shortly after the second quarter had opened, a combined aerial and ground attack taking the Demons to the 3 yard line where Zerbe went over on a quarterback sneak. The conversion was wide, sending the Demons ahead, 6-0, the score standing until the Craig outburst which plunged the Red Devils into their third defeat in as many tries. Their morale boosted by their splendid performance against Craig, the Dem- ons racked up their first win of the season at Meeker's expense the following week, bulldogging a fighting Cowboy eleven 6-0 on their own stamping grounds. The game was marred throughout by disputes over the referees' decisions, one Meeker tally being called back by the field judge due to off sides after the ref- erees had ruled the score as legal. The controversy was climaxed by admittance
