Valient Knights Compete in Lists The opening of combat on the football field delighted Sir Reminiscence for here at last was something familiar. True the armor worn for the joust looked a trifle odd, even gaudy but the rules in the held seemed easy enough to under- stand. A joust is a joust, said he to Horace. Of course, said Horace, it has been modified through the years but the basic principles of combat, offense, and defense are still very much in evidence. Instead of individual combat, which glor- ified the ancient tournaments, the modern sport requires a closely knit unit of eleven men who play as a team. Sir Reminiscence was very fortunate in visiting Horace Mann at a time when football was at its zenith. Under the guidance of Sirs Elser and Herbert, the Warriors in Red and White surprised the entire kingdom with a fine record of seven victories, one loss, and one tie. The Horsemen opened up the season by overpowering Gary Edison 2 5-0. They continued winning until October 27, with only a 7-7 tie with Lew Wallace to mar their record. At this point in the schedule the Horsemen ' s 5-0-1 record included a 41-0 victory over Hammond Tech, and a 3 5-0 shellacking of Portage. The team was ranked ninth in the kingdom ' s football polls. Thursday, October 27 must have been cursed by Merlin himself. It was on that day that the footballers suffered their only defeat of the season, at the hands of a determined Emerson team. The cross town rivals, who took advantage of numerous Mann mistakes, emerged with a 3 3-27 upset victory. Although it was hard to forget the Emerson game, the corageous Horsemen recovered themselves and trounced Froebel 39-6. This event climaxed one of the most success- ful seasons in Horace Mann ' s history. SEASON ' S HIGHLIGHTS 2 5-0 opening win over Edison . . .
