no LA D-ALMA 55 I 1932 FOOTBALL REVIEW I -By HENRY A. Scnorr ITH but three football lettermen returning this year, the prospects for another championship football team at Citrus Union were anything but bright. But with a fine feeling of cooperation and harmony coupled with a unified purpose of giving their all for Citrus, the squad gradually rounded into a very smooth working machine which continued to show improve- ment until the Flu Bug and injuries depleted our ranks and morale. El Monte, then underdogs, traveled to Cit- rus at this time and very easily won. The last game with Excelsior was for the championship, but here the Citrus boys found themselves greatly outweighed and faced a group of veterans. A few breaks for Excelsior helped to blast what championship hopes we once had. HENRY A. ScHoTT THE GAMES -By AVARD WATKINS CITRUS-7, MONTEBELLO-2 The Citrus Varsity Cougars ushered in the season by triumphing over the Montebello Oilers for the ninth con- secutive time. CITRUS 21, PUENTE-0 Playing c h am p i o n s h i p football throughout the second half, the Citrus Cougars turned back the supposedly strong Puente Indians on Puente's greensward. CITRUS-0. EL MONTE-20 Determined, fleet-footed gridiron warriors from El Monte completely swamped the flu-stricken Citrus elev- en in a disappointing upset. The scoring, all of which occurred in the First half, came as a result of perfected running and passing plays on the part of El Monte. CITRUS-14, DOWNEY-O With the addition of a few veterans, Coach Schott's recuperated Cougars took into camp the apparently weak Downey Maroons on the latter's Held. CITRUS-12, EXCELSIOR-25 With the championship at stake, two evenly matched teams, Citrus and Excelsior, met on the Pilots' field and played undoubtedly the most spectac- ular football of any league game this season. The never-die spirit of the student body and the lasting iight of the team marked the ending of our season. ROSTER fLette men and manager are starredj VARSITY Row 3: Moody, Osborn. Stratton.

Ask Herb! And oh, what a dinner! Oct. 28 Football squad was rather Huey in their encounter with El Monte, but, with the aid of the student body, they still displayed a fighting spirit. Score: El Monte 20, Citrus O. Look out, next year! Stag Night celebrated the opening of the gym addition. Cider 'n dough- nuts! Ooh, that pain!! Nov. 1 Board gave O.K. on gym addition. Don't we all! Nov. 3 Citrus annexed debate with Mon- rovia, hence, ye Democrats, Hoover is to be our next President. Nov. 4 Iust ask L. A. High if we have good debaters. Is this a habit? Nov. 4 Mrs. Sheldon and Girls' League of- ficers attended the convention at Eagle Rock. Mrs. Sheldon seems to believe in rolling to banquets! Nov. 5 Play day at Excelsior. Lots of pep and fun. Oh, were those apples good! Nov. 8 Mr. Gordon advised using no Aus- tralian words when speaking of sing- ers. Even the homely freshies got the logic! Oh, yes, have a billycan of cocoa before you go to town to buy a wind of cotton. Nov. 9 If those little exercises were quarter exams, where'll we be in the semester inquisitions? Nov. ll After a severe battle with Excelsior for championship honors, with the score against Citrus, our opponents were convinced that Citrus never says die. We wonder how Mary's Ankle is by now! Thus ended football and the first quarter. 1 ty
