The game ended in Tulare's favor 7-0. The -Papooses were surely glad to hear the final gun in the game with Visalia, which was a grueling battle from start to finish. Hoffman was sterling on defense and Rhyman and Fowler made several sparkling plays. The final score was Tulare 7, Visalia 0. The Porterville game was the battle in the rain. Porterville was nicely lodged in first place until a roaring, fighting, maddened Tulare team, playing as a team, eked out a victory that broke the Porterville jinx of seven long years, and gave Tulare undisputed hold of second place in the league. There was only one touchdown, making the score 6-0. The line-up consisted of : Left End-Carl Henerd Left Tackle-Valenzuela Left Guard-Don Hoffman Center-Elmo Fuller Right Guard-Drexel Stewart, Fred Smith Right Tackle-Ed Rhyman Right End-Bob Gribi Quarterback-George Fowler Right Halfback-John Sturgeon Left Halfback-Sam Ragan Fullback-Allan Twaddle This was one of the most successful seasons for the Tulare lightweights in several years. If Fuller and Twaddle had been in shape to play the first game, Tu- lare might have sailed through to a title. Several of these boys will make excellent material for the varsity next year, but Coach Hexberg is looking forward to a strong lightweight outfit.

Football Lightweight Football Although they did not win the championship the Tulare lightweights were considered the best team in the county this year having but two touchdowns scored against them in league competition, they had fewer points scored against them than any other team in the county. They also scored more points than any other lightweight team. Ten lettermen were back from last year's B class team and with Coach Hexberg introducing the Notre Dame shift Tulare was one of the most formidable and scrappiest teams in the valley. Early season injuries, however, wrecked a champ- ionship when the first league game was lost to Exeter 6-0. Fuller and Twaddle, mainstays on the team, were out of the game. The Papooses also lost the second league game to Hanford 6-0. The two injured players were back, but the team just didn't have the right scoring combination although the locals looked by far the stronger team. The third league game with Lindsay featured the long runs of Twaddle, the blocked kicks of Valenzuela, and the catching of passes by Rhyman. The game proved to be an exciting one, the score being 13-0 with Tulare on the long end of the count. The Delano game was a walk-away. Twaddle, again being the outstanding player, ran wild. The game also featured the hard running of Ragan and Sturgeon. Score: Tulare 20, Delano 0. The battle of the lines of both teams was interest- ing to watch in the Strathmore game. Strathmore put

335 BILL JONES In th Elle TOP Hilton Student Council The Student Council, the executive heads of Tulare High School's student body, began the school year with the issuing of a new type of student body card. The card sold for 551.50 and was worth its face value, sums spent being punched out much in the same man- ner as one would a meal ticket. On October 5, Tulare High School staged one of its biggest school events in the dedication of the new foot- ball turf. Besides enjoying a specially prepared pro- gram, the large crowd that had gathered witnessed a football game between the Redskins and Exeter foot- ball teams. Several very successful dances were held at the Fairgrounds, one of the first being a Thanksgiving dance, held in a real atmosphere of the season among corn stalks, pumpkins, and autumn leaves. A live tur- key was given to the holder of a lucky ticket. One of the big treats of the year was a Christmas program at the Tulare Theatre. The dramatic classes under Miss Lois Thompson's direction put on two Christmas skits. Something entirely new and quite original to Tu- lare High School students was the Backwards Dance. No clothes were worn backwards or anything like thatg it was the dating system that took a turn, girls asked for dates and paid for tickets. Furthermore, at the dance girls asked for dances. The whole affair was very successful and brought out a large crowd. Taking everything into consideration, the student council has seen that the students have had a very suc- cessful social year. ald Hill- E 1 N ws. Xvk V- Q, V X.
