.qewttalt The first football practice was held the first day of school under the supervision of Mr. Elder, our new coach. This practice really gave the boys a workout. During the first week one could see the twenty-three boys, stiff as boards, slowly walking up the street. After three weeks of practice the boys felt that they were ready to conquer, so they traveled to Elk City. There on a sun-baked field they tied their first game of the sea- son, 0-0. The next game was played with Howard's greatest rival, Moline. To the Pirates' surprise, they awoke after the game to find themselves defeated 34-6. Howard fell before Leon's attack the following week. On a muddy field the team was defeated 13-6. The next four days were spent in hard practice, for the next game the Pirates were to play, what they con- sidered to be the strongest team in the league. In the first three minutes the Caney boys made the touchdown, and by the end of the first quarter they had gotten their second touchdown. The game finally ended 12-7 in Cancy's favor. Ir the next two games Howard was the victor. The Pirates defeated Altoona 14-0 on HoWard's field, then they went to Cedar Vale and played in the burning sun to return victors with a score of '38-0. Next we played Sedan on our field. With a strong wind blowing and dust flying Sedan defeated Howard 7-0. The final game was played Armistice Day at Grenola. VVith the crowd in a continuous uproar, the Howard boys defeated Grenola 24-6. At the close of the season Howard had won three games, tied one and lost 4. This placed Howard fourth in the South Central Kansas league. Later the coaches met at Sedan and picked the all- conference team. The Howard boys chosen were' George Gorman and Ralph Armstrong on the first teamg Ivan Wiseman rated second teamg Sam Westfall, Jack Spun- augle, Waldo Gray, and Tim Rader received honorable men- tion. During the season, the boys gradually developed under the supervision of Coach Elder, who came just before school began. All in all, with the cooperation of the coach, team, school, and city, the football team was a success in that they showed one hundred per cent improvement at the close of the season over the beginning.
