FOOTBALL 1914.8-14.9 proved to be an exciting season for Herreid High gridders and fans. With a squad of eighteen young, but anbitious athletes, Coach Obenauer prepared his charges for the gridiron campaign. With a host of lettermen from last year, the Yellow Jackets opened an eight game schedule. Among lettermen returning were: Jim Lippelt, Wilbert Goehring, Lloyd Rueb, Royal Bickel, Spencer Clapp, Clarence Deibert, Walter Llnderman and La Vern Schmidt. In Herreids initial game with the Hoven Greyhounds, the somewhat jittery Yellow Jackets went down fighting 19-6. This proved to be the only set back for the team. Defeat was due mainly to poor pass defense. Herreid then went on to win the rest of their games except a 25-26 deadlock with Bowdle. Perhaps the greatest and most thrilling game played during the campaign was- the one with a classy Java six. After wallaping the Maroons to the tune of 53-20 earlier in the season, Herreid had to come from behind to win 20-19 in a return engagement. The Yellow Jackets ran out of a T . One great factor in their triumphs was their air attack and a well balanced ground game. Wilbert Goehring, Lloyd Rueb, Jim Lippelt and Spencer Clapp provided the well balanced backfield while Snuffy Linderman, Royal Bickel, Clarence Deibert, Wilmer Deibert and La Vern Schmidt composed the foward wall. Herreid scored 291 points to their opponents 203. Graduating lettermen are: Wilbert Goehring, Walter Linderman, Jim Lippelt, Clarence Deibert, Royal Bickel, La Vern Schmidt and Lloyd Rueb.
