Football Season of 1937 As the football season of 1937 drew near, the members of the team learned that they were to have a new coach. This man was Mr. Robert Hutton. Mr. Hutton, a former Findlay College football, basketball and baseball player, re- ceived his Master's Degree at the University of Michigan. He 1S a man of ability, entirely capable of handling his job, and is Well liked by all who know him. For the opening game Upper traveled to Mt. Blanchard, Where they reversed last year's score with that team by de- feating them 2O-0. With this encouraging start Upper went to Fostoria to defeat St. Wendelin 6-0 in a hard fought night game. This was Upper's first encounter under the lights. The next week, on Upper's only Saturday football game, they were defeated by a score of 20-0 by the heavy Harding High team from Marion. The next game brought Calvert High, a powerful and fast team from Tiflin to our field. Upper again met defeat 33-0. The next week Upper jou1'- neyed to Mansfield to play Madison Township, a newcomer to their schedule, and were defeated 20-0. Again Upper took the road, this time to battle Marysville. A fourth defeat was met 12-0. The next week saw us on our own field against Ada. Upper led at the half 7-6 but was unable to keep this lead as the game ended 12-7. Upper was now scheduled to face Crestline, a team considered one of the best in the league. The visitors were given a surprise and trailed 6-0 as the fourth quarter began. After a series of attempts, Crestline succeeded in tieing the score and the game ended 6-6. The final game, with Carey, was the most exciting of the season. As the fourth quarter began, Upper trailed 7-0, and with but three minutes to play staged the most amazing comeback ever seen by its followers by get- ting two touchdowns, the game ending 12-7. Considering the inexperience of most of the team, Upper had a successful season, and next year's team should set up an even better record, with eleven lettermen returning. The team selected for its honorary co-captains, Donald Iles and William Bauer, who proved in every game that they really deserved the honor. The team wishes to thank the teachers, students, cheer- eaders, the band, and managers for their support during the'1'l-'- entire season. DAVID SPELLERBERG.

ATHLETIC BOARD The Athletic Board this year is made up of Mr. Cope, Presidentg Mr. Houpt, Secretary-Treasurerg Mr. Osborn, Clerk of the Board of Education g and the coaches, Miss Miner, and Mr. Hutton. Along with their work, they purchased new football and basketball suits which were appreciated as much by the stu- dent body as by the teams. Perhaps the greatest task of this Board was the spon- sorship and organization 'of a baseball team. So far the team has been met with great success by defeating Carey and Nevada High Schools. The team will enter Class A -Tournament at Kenton May 13-14. We wish to express our appreciation to this Board for helping make our school year a success and We pledge our co-operation in the future.
