 HOLD THAT TIGER FOOTBALL SUMMARY This year the Tigers scheduled three new teams— Tuscola, Areola, and Newman. Under the direction of Coach Ernie Eveland, the Tigers used the ”T formation with a team of big and fast boys. The Tigers started their season at Tuscola. This would have proved a good match except for the Tigers' bad luck. Crabtree's brilliant quarter-back sneak gave Paris the first touchdown of the season. Paris was on Tuscola's two-yard line when the game ended with the score—Tuscola, 14: Paris, 12. The Tigers came right back the next week with that old fighting spirit. 19 first downs to Marshall's 4 were made, but penalties held them down. One of the outstanding plays of the season was in a series of completed poses made by the Carli-Brewster combination. When the final horn was sounded, the Tigers were on Marshall's two-yard line, and the score was 6 all. Paris traveled to Oblong for the next battle determined to win. The Tigers came out on top. This was the only E. I. League game won. When the last play was made, Paris had 20 to 0 for Oblong. On October 5, the Tigers went to Charleston only to battle the Trojans up and down the field with no score. They failed to score deep in the enemy territory. Neither could the Trojans muster enough strength to push the ball through the Fighting Tigers' line. The next week Areola was played. The Tigers ran wild and scored 14 points in the first quarter. The end runs of Steidl and Carli accounted for several first downs. Paris emerged from the game with 21 points to Areola's 6. The next two games found the Tigers playing two highly rated teams in the state, Casey and Newman. With Casey's sneok play the game ended in a tie, 7 all, as Crabtree burst the ball in kicking an extra point. In the other game bad luck struck again. When the score was tallied, Newman had 31 points to Paris' 12. Firs Row: Stephens, I. Tolen, Grohom, Bailey, Johnson, Fowler, Reed, Roberts, V. Cummins, Dawson, Wilhoit, Geekie, C.
