Thanksgiving Day proved a sad day for Hughes. Hamilton High turned the trick. It was not an easy matter, however. Hamilton won, but it was a badly battered team that brought home the victory. Ham- ilton, however, deserved the victory and our hats are off to them. So when you are asked about the record of your team, just say, We came within a touchdown of the championship of Southern Ohiof' ,4-:gif -in , b Uri ., YN ' Y X X .., fPage one hundred and twenty-sixj

THE FOOTBALL SEASON The season of 1912 was a highly successful one. This was due to the earnest and etlicient coaching of Dr. Poos and Mr. Evans and to the hard work of the team. Of ten games played, only one was lost, and that by the narrow margin of a single touchdown. The season opened with a rush. Newport, O. M. I., Ohio Dental College, and Hartwell went down in defeat before our boys, who piled up large scores. These victories were followed by two of the hardest fought games of the season, Manual Training High of Louisville and Steele High of Dayton. Two teams more evenly matched than Hughes and Manual would have been hard to find. The game was full of interest and neither team seemed to have a decided advantage over the other. Manual worked some clever forward passes for large gains and two touchdowns. Our boys held the score to a tie by consistent line plunging and an impenetrable defense. Steele High afforded Hughes an hour of entertainment, if not of anxiety. The result of the game was never in doubt, but Steele's bold defense made the game interesting. Hughes gained a lot of ground by long forward passes and heavy line plunging, while Steele worked short passes to good advantage. Hughes then lowered her shoulder to plunge for the Interscholastic Championship. Walnut Hills was the first victim of that plunge. For the first time in the history of the school Hughes defeated Walnut Hills. On account of the poor field, a scoreless tie threatened to be the result, but Hughes managed to push the ball over for a touchdown and the hoodoo was broken. The Woodward game was carried out with all the solemnities befitting the occasion. The assembled multitude stood with bared heads. Flowers were omitted by request. Score, 34-0. Believe us. it is great to be Interscholastic Champions! Norwood then begged leave to swap punches and were given a chance in a game that proved to be a huge farce. The spectators crowded into the field and time was called repeatedly. The score was G-0 in favor of Norwood at the end of the first half. In the third quarter Hughes crossed the line for a touchdown. Suddenly the head-linesman-a Norwood graduate - rushed out on the field and accused Hughes of crawling. The umpire, though unauthorized by the rules to do so, deliberately took the touchdown from Hughes. Captain Oyler protested, but in vain. fPage one hundred and twenty-fivel
