FRIDAY, NOVEMBER zo, 1953. x,THE'lKISEIf'PAN1lHER A - I PACEYIRIHEQC Pom non By Long-0 Sox Pox Ole Jim Thorpe or the Galloping Ghost Red Grange, didn't have any- thing on ole Kiser. No sir! The Panthers started a 1not new but difEerent5 fad in sox. If you attended the game at Washington C. H. you probably saw a multicolor variety of socks, trotting big as you please, onto the field. There were navy blue, light, blue, purple striped and gold, and last but not least, just plain gold. M-m-m-m boy! They were dandies! x '- - Moo Moo Again Looks like old Don Thies makes the news again. He's contracted a little bug which has sent him to bed for a while. It might be because someone wet down his longies before Friday's cold practice. But to get back to his illness, Moo-Moo had something that might be termed lump jaw. Don'hasn't missed any games and will see action in the Red and Blue game. '53 Season Ends: Cats Gain 3 Wins Against 6 Losses Looking back over the 1953 grid- irdn season we see the Panthers could garner, only three wins as against six losses. In, the Cat's first game of the reg- ular season, played at Troy, Kiser rolled over the Troy Trojans by a score of 18-0. Springfield's team proved too much for the lighter Panthers as Spring- field won 40-6. Kiser dropped its city opener to Dunbar by a touchdown in the last minute of play, 12-6. Wilmington was an easy victim for Kiser. The score: 27-0. In their second, city game Kiser lost a hard fought battle to Stivers 12-3. The Chaminade Eagles scored an easy.victory over the hard-fighting Panthers' with a score of 47-0. Glaspey scored two touchdowns helping Kiser to gain their third vic- tory by beating Washington Court House 21-12. Roosevelt found Kiser to be an easy win by a 33-0 score. In the last game Wilbur Wright tapped Kiser 16-0. Red,l Blue Teams Cla hThursday Kiser Plays In AnnualTiIt: 9 Semor Boys Are Ellglblep On the coming cold morning of Nov. 26, Thanksgiving Day, the annual Blue-Red game will be played at the High School Stadium. The two sides are made up of local big seven high school teams. Teams are grouped according to standings at the end of the season' and class A, B, and C teams are arranged where neither side has an advantage. Heading the Blue team is Dayton's Public School champion-Cham- inade. Roosevelt, City Public School champs, lead the Red team. At press- time Kiser's side was not known. Kiser's position rests on the outcome of the Wilbur Wright-Kiser clash. If Kiser wins, they will be on the Blue side with Chaminade, and if ' they lose they go to the Red team. This year Kiser has nine senior boys who are eligible to try for the Blue-Red teams. Kiser's eligible players are: Jim Bratton, end, Bill Glaspey, halfbackg Keith Banke, quarterback, Duane Hooker, end, Bob Gray, guard, Leon Roberts, . guard, Dick Longo, endg Don Thies, guardg,and Howie Miller, tackle. As history shows, the Blue-Red game is a new name for 'an old one. Back in 1947, when the annual inter- school Thanksgiving games were l MEMBERS of the 1953 Kiser football squad are, pictured above, front row, 1left to right5: Stan Luckoski, Ted Strader, Jack Settles, Leon Roberts, Howie Miller 1captain5, Danny Yount, Ken Weese, Don Thies, Keith Bankeg second row: Jim Bratton, Tom Schlorman, Carroll Taylor, Bill Glaspey, Dave Smith, Gerhard Ziegeler, Jim Morgan, Dick Longo, Daniel Roberds, Ed Hill, third row: Ray Carroll, Norman Garner, Jerry Grant, Bill Cansler, Walter Kunka, Don Swihart, Bob Gray, Starling Weese, Don Meeker, Bob Ziegelerg top row: Ass't Coach Roy Peden, Jack Reger, Marvin Kistler, Charles Reed, Wayne Mclntosh, Coach Bill Stover. Absent when the picture was taken were Ronnie Hunt, Duane Hooker, and Doug Pippin. Stover Loses II Gridmen To With the graduation coming up in the spring of '54, Kiser's varsity foot- ball squad will give up 11 members. One of these boys, Howie Miller 1405, 174 pounds-6'2 team captain and three-letter man, held down a tackle slot after being converted from an end. Another tackle, Bob Gray 1275, 160 pounds-5'8 , also three years of varsity tering for the first time. finished up football, let- Dave Smith Don 1Moo- pounds-5'8 g pounds:5'9 . have played while Don is credited with only two. However, this was due to an ankle fracture he received while playing his Freshman year. Senior guards were: 1215, 152 pounds-5'7 g M005 Thies 1335, 175 and Leon Roberts, 170 Both Dave and Leon 3 years on the varsity Tipping the scales at,206 lbs., is 6'1 Doug Pippin 1425, the largest boy on the squad. Playing his first ball with a Tennessee frosh team, he has two years at Kiser, lettering this year at center. Charles 1Punch5 1 Reed 1305, 170 lb. 6 footer also fought for the center position. Punch has two years varsity experience. At end positions were seniors Duane Hooker 1255, 157 lbs.-5'11 g Dick Longo 1295, 175 lbs.-6'1 g and Jim Bratton 1175, 155 lbs.-5'11 . Dick and Duane are both two-letter men, each having two years experience on the varsity. Although this was Jim's first year of football, he earned a letter, and ended the season at first- string defensive end. E I Everything in Sports Equipment Jim Flynn, Inc.

From 1948 to 1951 all victories were won by the West. In 1952 the name and system of organization of teams was changed. Red vs. Blue was inaugurated as it is today. This change of name came when Dayton newspaper men from the two local papers, The Dayton Daily News and the Journal Herald, saw the monopoly built up by the West team over the East due to the size of the school and general football ability. The present system matches evenly the two teams. Cats Drop Final Two' Kiser's Panthers were readily tamed in their last two games losing both by margins -attained by the opposition in opening minutes of the game. x With less than two minutes gone Roosevelt recovered a Kiser bobble and quickly turned it into one of five touchdowns, Nov. 7. A T.D. that was called back proved to be Kiser's only source of excite- ment for the night. On the third play of the Nov. 13th encounter with Wilbur Wright, Bob Wakely took a Jim Beard pass on the Kiser 45, and scampered down the sidelines for the score with only 85 seconds gone in the game. Twenty- one minutes later Wilbur Wright again scored on an 85 yard drive with Dick Grothjan bulling over from the one. , . With only 8 seconds showing on the clock, Stan Luckoski was figuratively nailed to the goal post when Wright's tackle, Adolph Cartwright, grabbed him behind the goal for a safety and 2 more points to make the final score 16-0. Kiseris defense played a bril- liant second half, allowing the Pilots to cross the fifty yard stripe only twice. ' 9 Ice cream I I Hartel s Soft dfinff-S Sandwiches Tl'0y Q Leo SIS.

FOUR' THE! KISER PANTHER FnmAv,Now-E 'm'iuEs misss New Club, ear., 4 - fnfewa To Benefit Kiser Band A new club, Kiser Band Aides, 'was organized by interested parents and students at a meeting held Nov. 4th in the Kiser band room. ' -Purpose of the club is to promote the interest of Kiser teachers,- par- ents, and students in the band and especially to'interest more students in playing band instruments. The club will meet in the Kiser band room at 7:30 pm, on the first Wednesday of every month. Oflicers of the club are: Wilbur Theis, president, Mrs. Ralph Speel- man, vice-presidentg Mrs. Leon Shroyer, secretaryg and Mr. Leon Shroyer, treasurer, with J. P. Hole- sovsy, band director, and D. L. Sol- lenberger, principal, as trustees. According to the club constitution, there is no limit to the number of members in the club. Sale of Christmas candy is the first project of the club. All proceeds will go toward the purchase of new band instruments. We hope our organization will be an active one and will benefit both the band and school, said Mr. Theis, and we are asking everyone's help in achieving our aim. Why Not Count Your Blessings? , DEAR KISER FRIENDS: Recently I heard an unfortunate person express the attitude that there would be no Thanksgiving for their family this year. No Thanks- giving! Surely not, if -we count our misfortunes. No doubt every one of us have troubles enough to over- shadow our blessings if we put emphasis upon the wrong things. But life doesn't move forward that way. Life and happiness are built upon the principle that we look for the best. As the pop song of a few years ago repeated over and over, Accentuate the Positive. There is not one I of us who can af- ford to skip counting his blessings at Thanksgiving this year, regardless of reverses. There comes a wonderful psychological lift when you take time out to list the things you have left for which to be thankful. Try it! Honor Thanksgiving in your heart this year, even if the festivities are missing. Enter His gates with thanksgiv- ing, and into His courts with praise: Be thankful unto Him, and bless His name. Psalm 100:4. Sincerely, D. L. SOLLENBERGER Principal Pastor Plays For Teens Tony Pastor and his well-known band will perform for Dayton and Montgomery County teen-agers next Sunday at the Carrousel Teen Club. Other coming attractions include: Gene Mayl's Dixieland Rhythm Kings, November 29, Sauter-Finne- gaxi Bend with Sally Sweetland as the featured vocalist, December 6. BY TED STRADER WITH THE COMING WINTER SEASON there is a definite trend toward fur. Sweaters and dresses of all description are being made with eye-catching collars and cuffs of fur. Many other small articles have adopted tufts of fur, for example, there's a small attraction consisting of two white balls of what looks to me like rabbit fur. These, about the size of tennis balls, are connected with a black velvet cord and draped around the neck in any desired manner creating new and unique effects. . . C.

GROCERIES M EATS I FOUNTAIN SERVICE - I LUNCH ES BUT DO NOT THINK all of this fuzzy-business is being directed at women. Listen to this. Around New York, originators have come up with the idea of fur neckties for the gents. Perhaps this sounds okay to some of you boys but as far as I'm concerned, they can put all of their fur neckties back into cages where they belong. WHAT'S HAPPENING to the modern generation? Operators of a New Jersey amusement park report that their figures show that the tun- nels of love are losing their appeal and' wonder what is happening to romance in these United States. NO LONGER are scatter pins being limited to sweaters and blouses. Not by far, in fact, not by about two or three feet. If you still don't know what I'm referring to, cast an eye toward the hemlines and doubtless to say you'll see some of these little ornaments tacked around the kick pleats of skirts wom by some of our more fad-conscious young misses. Decorated horse blanket pins Covergrown safety pins, are also used. WITH GRADE CARDS going home December 8, this grading per- iod ends Dec. 4. Consequently there are only nine days left. Better get on the ball. QUITE A FEW loyal Kiserites were present at the Stuart Patterson Youth Center last Thursday for this year's first and last football pep rally, put on by our own peppy Panther- ettes. After several ear-blistering cheers to spur the team for the Wil- bur Wright clash, the scene was dominated by record dancing. The bunny-hop seemed to go over the best. Assembly Cancelled ' Charles King, well-known Negro singer, could not appear in Kiser's auditorium last Friday since it was necessary for him to be in New York to appear on Arthur Godfrey's Talent show. . He will visit Kiser at a later date. Snyder, Nelson Get' Boy Scout Awards, Two Kiser boys, Ronald Nelson and Harry Snyder, have just recently received the God and Country medal for their loyal service. In order to receive this medal, the two boys had to memorize and recite each book of the Bible, be able to quote passages, have perfect attend- ance, and usher regularly. ' Meetings are held weekly at the HARRY SNYDER Cleftj and Ron- ald Nelson are pictured looking over each other's God and Country Scout medals. CPhoto by Toby Orrj Trinity Methodist Church on Valley Street. The troop is headed by Curt Miller, Jr., scoutmaster. Merit badges rank high on the. boy's list. Ronald claims eight while Harry can account for six. Among these are firemanship, safety, citizen- ship, home repairs, metal work, and electricity. Being den chief for Pack 8 is an- other activity. It is a den chief's job to see that the cub-scouts 'are in order and prepared to enter the Boy Scouts. Love's blindg but the neighbors aren't. I .

Q Hallermen Small, But Fast: Three Lettermen Returning f What we don't have in height we will make up in speed, is the outlook for 'Kiser's up-and-coming basketball team, according to Sid Haller, basketball coach. 1' Coach Haller has three returning lettermen: Howie Miller, Duane Hooker, and Bill Stritenber- ger. Other boys who should see ac- tion are: Jim Bratton, Tom Stafford, John Gully, Keith Banke, Tom Schlorman, Ray Rigney, and Norm Hinders. N ' Howie, who has seven years of basketball experience, should be one of the big guns on the Panther 5 . He started to play basketball in the sixth grade for a church team and played for the McGuEey seventh grade. The following years were spent'at Kiser. Being the city's most underrated player is the honor Duane Hooker carries. He started playing basket- ball at McGuf'fey under Roy James. Playing on the Freshman and re- serves gave Duane plenty of exper- ience. Last year he was considered one of the finest play-makers in the city.
