Coach Robert Neubauer took over duties as head coach and instituted the HT formation at King. Varsity members of 1946 changed positions, and all worked hard orientating themselves. The team also suffered from a great many injuries to players. Nevertheless they wound up with a .500 average for the eight-game season. In the first game King lost a tough defensive battle to Lincoln, 10-0, before an overflow crowd. They went on to win from West 24-14. The Generals dropped their third game to Washington, 12-0, but bounced back the next week to win from East, 19-0, and chalked up another victory the following Satur- day, taking Tech 14-20. The Kingmen then lost to South 14-0 and to Custer 18-0. They finished the season with a 10-0 score in a snowy, muddy game against North! Bob Lowe, rugged right tackle, was rewarded for his sparkling defensive play, by receiving all-city and all-state honors. Although January and June graduations depleted the team ranks somewhat, several of the varsity members will be back on the field next year. 1 X,

Sophomore Football The 1947 Sophomore squad working under a new system, proved very successful. Under the coaching of coach Hanks, all the fellows were molded into one group. Not only does football teach one the way to run and tackle, but it expresses and shows the need for team work in life as well as on the field. Practice was held during the eighth hour and after school. Scrimmages with the varsity and freshmen squads were held. Due to the training and experi- ence, the squad should prove to he very good ma- terial for next season's varsity. The members of the squad received minor letters for playing in the City's B Conference. During the course of the season good sportsmanship was always displayed. Even in defeat, Q , the squad took it as a team. At the end of the season, the squad tied for second place w.th Custer. In scor- ing the squad had 78 points to their opponents 57. In only three out of eight games did the opponents cross King's goal. The scores of the games are: King Custer . . . King North .. King East . . . King South . . King Tech ..... King Lincoln . . . King Washington King West ..... Q.1 X f . f ..f1. , 1,
