 The Season in Sports lien the last footliall is punted over the chalk lined field, when the last l.ather sphere has swished through the net and the baseball is hit safely into the outfield, the chronicle of the season’s athletics is written. hether it is easier to picture victory than glorious defeat remains a controversy. We have had both in all branches, but the boys fought through the season, marred with de- feats, but rich in spirits. FOOTBALL 1933 The 1933 football season at Hudson High School was attended with great success. The entire team was faithful to Coach Ander- son. In training and in playing they responded to the Coach’s advice and results came in form of a play-off for the championship of the middle border with Hudson losing to the strong Menomonie team. I he first evening of practice found a squad of 35 midgets out in uniform. I here was a nucleus of three around which to build the team; not a pleasing prospect indeed. But by hard work a scrappy group of warriors, well drilled in fundamentals, represented Hud- son High School—Captain Holt, Michaelson, and Richie were the three letter men who formed the team, but with Strom, Baillon, Burkholder, Dean Lyksett, Larson, Simpson, Johnson, Monkbert, Captain-elect Birkmose, Hanson, Boals, Pederson, Cameron, Lystad, Wallace, Hjelseth, Lyksett, Schullo, and Cramer a good team was rounded into shape. The team responded favorably and with the opening game against Roberts the green but snappy light team swept through the Roberts aggregation to the score of 28 to 0. In this game the team received its first set-back, when Dean Lyksett, the crushing fullback, broke his wrist. Dean was lost for four weeks.

Resume of Games HUDSON vs COLFAX I he locals upset all tli dope taking Colfax on their own field 10-7. Strom ran wild to make ail of Hudson's ten points. With the score tied 7-7 and with hut a few minutes to play he kicked a beautiful drop kick from one end of the 25 yard line which cleared the posts squarely, giving Hudson a three |x int lead. HUDSON vs ELLSWORTH Eleven Hudson stars took the field as the locals held the highly tooted Ells- worth squad to a 0-0 tie. HUDSON vs RIVER FALLS It was an over confident Hudson football team that pranced out upon the River balls field that rainy Friday afternoon, but a sad and ragged looking eleven that limped slowly back to the dressing room after taking a 18-6 beating. Ac- cording to the season s scores for the two teams and all the pre-game dope Hudson should have easily taken the boys into camp but the locals were just too sure of themselves. Holt and I .arson starred on defense. Capt. Holt was forced from the last period of play with a bad leg that bothered him from time to time throughout the season. HUDSON vs NEW RICHMOND Homecoming Much to New Richmond’s disgust Hudson took them to the cleaners 12-7 in a hard fought, typical Hudson-New Richmond football melee. Dean Lvksett, who broke his wrist several weeks ago, returned to the play and proved himself to be a very consistent ball carrier. HUDSON vs SPRING VALLEY The local eleven failed to show their usual pep and punch when they nosed out Spring Valley 6-0 on tlve Hudson field. A i ass, Burkholder to Schullo, late in the third period resulted in Hudson’s only score. In the final quarter, Larson intercepted a Spring Valley pass in his own territory and throwing him- self forward began a spectacular run right through the entire Spring Valley team: with arms and legs flying all around him he reached the 16 yard line before he was thrown off balance and downed. The Spring Valley defense tightened up, however, and held the locals for no gain, as the final whistle ended the game 6-0. HUDSON vs MENOMONIE Hudson was defeated by Menomonie in the last game of the season 16-0. Despite the fight of Hudson’s lightweights they were completely outclassed by the Superior Menomonie outfit. Menomonie's touchdown in the first three min- utes of play took the heart out of Coach Anderson’s aggregation, but nevertheless they put up forty minutes of game fighting. Thus ended a rather successful season with four victories, two defeats and a tie. Captain Holt. Harry Johnson, Frank Richie, and Clark Michaelson graduate this year and their absence will be greatly felt when the team rounds into shape this fall.
