were running high, but we were jolted out of our giddiness by a fumble on our next play- examination week. After regaining possession of the ball, we started out again, using play num- ber 43, the printer' trip, which, though not quite so successful as the last time, was good enough to gain eleven yards. Trying desperately to get into our op- ponent's territory, our quarter-back called for a double reverse in the form of the addition of a sheet metal course. The play had been fast and tiring, and, as substitutions were made, we were surprised to notice that during the game, two new Assistant Coaches, Mr. Mahn and Mr. Clarke, had reported to Head Coach, Mr. Whipple. Our opponents now opened up their famed bag of tricks and being sorely pressed, our quarterback called time out. In the huddle, it was decided that the only way to stop the enemy's advance was to use the new defensive formation, the placement bureau, which had been taught to us by Assistant Coach, Mr. Duncan. On th next play our opponents fumbled and we recovered possession of the ball. Breaking into an unbalanced formation, we tried a long, down field pass, and carrying out our assignments perfectly in our second annual open house and exhibition, we completed it to the fifty yard line. At this time the whistle blew, ending the third quarter. FOURTH QUARTER After the rest period between quarters, we saw that the third new assistant coach, Mr. Booth, wl1o was also to coach our basketball team, had reported to Head Coach, Mr. Whipple, for duty. Falling back on our standard plays again, we used the Freshman-Senior Party to gain one yaro. Because our running attack wasn't gaining very much, we decided to resort to passes to produce a score. The first pass was thrown by the Senior Class, it being the Senior Prom, which gained forty-five yards to our opponent's forty yard line. Calling time out to discuss our offensive tactics, we learned that the print shop had received a new Miehle Verticle press, and that the sheet metal shop had received a new acetylene welding outfit. During the time out, the water cart came on the field bearing a placard on each side, advising us all to see You Can't Take It With You, presented by the Senior Class. The clock was slowly approaching the end of the game, and our quarterback decided to gamble everything on a last minute pass. The ball was snapped back to quarterback Leo O'Hare, who faded back and threw our graduation pass- play far down the field into the end zone, where our speedy right halfback, Russell Bean was waiting for it. just as the ball settled into his arms, the timer's gun went off, ending the game. But we had scored the six pints to win the game, so that it didn't worry us much when we failed to kick the extra point. Field judge-Louis Wells Head Linesman- George Roberts 26
