Well anyway West s gridiron warriors did not although it must be said in Justice to them it was not because they didn t try They battled bravely for every meh of ground which they were forced to give during those first three games The first game of the season was a 7 to 0 defeat administered by Spring field Hugh at Springfield! The loyal West squad fought gallantly through the four long quarters but they were unable to score on the heavier opponents Our second defeat in as many games was at the hands of Cleveland Lakewood at Cleveland The Brown and Buff eleven was taken completely West men were dazed The line and the back field just wouldn t function and neither would anything else as far as that goes As a result West High s fair name was again hooked up with the goose egg end of a 33 to 0 tally The third of our series of set backs occurred right here at home l was our first home game and we were tusslmg with North for the honors and North got em! Far be it from us to kick about it we know someone has to lose but then why pick on us all the t1me3 Enough is enough and too much is plenty The referee sand the score was 25 to 0 but we ll never know whether it was or not because Just about the mlddle of the third quarter we could stand it no longer so we toddled up to the woolly wllcls known as Broad street and drowned our sorrows m Coca Cola and Spearmmt and didnt go home until supper time' Oh it s terrible it s terrible 68 .

Oh what a jolt' But of course we couldn t win em all The holiday games were next the first with Greenfield lVlcLa1n and the second with Marietta Well we bagged lVlcLam High I5 to I4 even if it did take a Fine minute overtime period to do nt And Kaufman starred making 8 Qf the I5 pomts Then we came to Marietta and we ln turn were bagged 26 to 9 Well as we always sand turn about is fair play 69 T H N T ' . 1 p .

We met Trade in the lid- lifting contest on the Coliseum floor, and the Buff and Brown was victorious, 25 to I8. West showed real ability in this game with the Carpenters and the West fans began to hope. The second game of the season was with Aquinas and the West five again showed the way, leading the Catholics to the tape I I to 7. However, the good news of the victory was offset by the fact that Captain Cline was injured and forced to leave the game The next West affair was with Commerce Oh' what sad memories the word conjures up Those Bookkeepers weren t satisfied with upsetting us in football they had to set on us in basketball to boot Vvere sadder words ere penned than thxs3 Commerce hath again upset our bliss' Oh death where IS thy st1ng5 Yes they did it 25 to I9 Captain Cline was out of this game as a result of his injury the week before Cne consolation was Stewart made his debut in this mixup and got the old scoring machine oiled up dropping in I3 of his team s I9 points ln the game with North West managed to regain a little of the prestige which they had lost the preceding week They walloped North 25 to I5 They played rings around the 'Vlaroon team Captain Cline was back in the lineup for this game The following week West again left the home fire to seek Iaurels else where they played and defeated Findlay High 30 to 26 This wa the 10 . v . . . , . v . .. . . -- . 5 . . w - 1 1 ' v . . . . t . , .
