Shaping a football team out of inexperienced players, with few exceptions, is a duty that requires the utmost ability in handling young men. Coach Tuttle handled the problem in a very commendable manner. showed evidence of the technique which they were taught. From the standpoint of merit, the team this year is to be complimented. Out of many raw recruits came an avalanche of boys of whom Grants Pass high school may well be proud. With but a few lettermen graduating, the prospects for next year’s team are very favorable. If the success of the 1934 season were to be judged on games won. it would have proved very unsatisfactory. However, we cannot judge or measure the victory by mere scores. This year was devoted to the development of a team for next year, and the fundamentals taught to the players were the instrumental functions of the ball club. As far as victories are concerned, the Grants Pass team won two games and lost five. In all games the players displayed fine sportsmanship and A summary of the scores for this season follows: G. P.
