On September 14, the football season was opened by a home game with Sycamore. Both teams were inex- perienced. Rochelle had practically a new line-up, for seven of the 1929 regulars were graduated in June. However, Rochelle had the edge on Sycamore, and the final whistle ended the game with a score of Rochelle, 9, Sycamore, 0. Sycamore at Sycamore Where was E!zie's toe? Oh, yes, we almost forgot! This game was played by the second team, on September 21. Ward's toe made an excellent substitute, but the final score was top-heavy, Sycamore, 303 Rochelle, 0. This defeat no doubt was the means of saving other games for us, for it saved our first team, gave practice to the second team, and outwitted scouts sent by other teams. Mendota at Rochelle The first Game of the season was really played on September 28, and Rochelle was all keyed-up. Even the second team men kept on their suits in case of emergency. Revenge was the force behind the Purple and Wliite, for Mendota had beaten us out of the cham- pionship the previous year. The game was tough-from beginning to end, but the score went one-sidedly to Mendota, 13-0. Sandwich at Sandwich This game, played on October 5, was much more pleasant to watch than the one of the week before but still was not especially interesting. Rochelle fought hard and carried home the larger end of the score, which was 25-0. Sterling at Rochelle Another victory for Rochelle on October 12! Rochelle made smashing plunges during the entire game. The Hrst quarter ended with Rochelle 7 and Sterling 0. At the end of the second quarter the score stood 7-7. Qit seems a shame we can't quote some of the half-lecture,', because the boys came back and played like demons.Q After an excit- ing second half Rochelle again carried home the victory with a score of 19-7. Dixon at Dixon A big game on October 19-band 'n everything, and a record-breaking crowd! The nd team lost 7 0 but the first team more than made up for the defeat. It was a SCCO ' s close game at first but in the last quarter Rochelle made seven points, in the second uarter another seven points and then--Dixon almost scored! Dixon started the last guarter full of pep, but befofe the whistle blew it was gone. Again Rochelle took home the bacon with a score that read 21-0. 26
