Football This marks the second year for football at N.H.S. Although we did not have a winning sea- son, we managed our first victory in modern football history and gained the much needed ex- perience in the game. Of course, most of the credit goes to our coach, Mr. Welborn, who efficiently produced a squad out of inexperienced material.

Bulldogs Win First Football Victory The opening game of the season with the Goshen B team marked Nappanee's first win in modern football history. Malcolm tackled a Goshen man in back of the goal for two points. Then with only seconds remaining, and Nappanee behind 2-6, Welborn plunged over from the one-yard line to score a touchdown and win the game by a score of 8-6. ln the Columbia City game Nappanee didn't score but threaten- ed once when they were on the one-yard line. The Eagles scored in the second quarter with four seconds to play before the half ended to make the score 6-0. ln the second half they scored twice to win l9-0. The Bulldogs traveled to Knox, but the Indians outplayed them, scoring four times while holding the Dogs scoreless. McQuire and Cook played outstanding games for Knox. Back on Memorial Field the Nappanee team encountered North Judson. The first half found the visitors ahead I3-7 after an eighty yard drive by the Bulldogs, climaxed by a two yard quarter- back sneak by Welborn. But North Judson came back in the second half and went on to win with Banary and Fingerhut driving hard for the visitors. Hold That Line! Left to Right-Don Malcolm.
