The Football Season LTHOUGH there are no lQI6 football champions to proclaim and not many victories to celebrate, the team came through. Starting out with a previous seasonls failure to erase, the fellows worked hard and faithfully. Not a word can be said against them, although they came, they saw, and -they lost. A series of 635, 9-6 scores shows how we fought. In what was considered the l.ig game of the season, we defeated the High School of Commerce 28-3. Many mistakes were made in the two seasons of play. An old saying runs something like this, a fool makes the same mistake many times, but a wise man only once. Let us hope that we are the wise man and not the fool. Probably the most glaring error was in the poorly regulated coaching system. During the past season there were three coaches. Individually they were all that could be wished, but collectively their different systems resulted in more or less confusion to the players. The fellows would learn something from one coach, only to have it contradicted the next day by one of the other coaches. Surely no team can learn Rugby by that method. Do not misunderstand me, and think that the coaches were not good. They were exceptionally good, and the team is unable sufhciently to commend them for the earnest efforts they made for the team, and for the school. lVe are greatly indebted to Mr. Newby, Ike Krone, and Sam Pleasant, our coaches. The other notable defects may be summed up in a few words: a wonderful defense more than offset by a poor offense. If we could only have developed a scoring machine, if only Dame Fortune would have smiled on us in one game. But such was not to be our lot, for game after game we fell before inferior teams by small scores. Let us forget the past. Next season looms before us full of uncertainty. Shall we play American or shall we play Rugby? This question will be answered before the first call to practice. No matter where the tide turns, get in and back your team to the limit. If it be American learn the game and play it fairly. If it be Rugby-why, with fourteen vets and a healthy batch of small fry to pick from, with the past season's mistakes to prolit by, with a bigger and better student body for a backing, and with Dutch and VVhiskey to lead, the team will shake the school from its athletic lethargy and show the world how to light. DONALD WIRIGI-IT, June LI7.
