November ll-On a very ideal day for football the Bengal Tiger of St. Xavier dared to challenge the overwhelming power of the Purple and Cold of Male's Bulldog. The de- fense power of St. Xavier held very well until a minute of play was left, and Male proceeded to score. A rushing play by Kuhn and conversion by Kaelin and a pass play to Taylor produced the score. The score, I3-O. November l8-The powerful team of Bosse High from Evans- ville paid us a visit, and for a while had us in hot water. At the half it was l2-O in favor of the visitors. Compton's hav- ing had an accident the day before the game was a set back to the team, but the team functioned very well without him. However when he entered the game he added the extra power to conquer the Bosse team by 33-l9. November 30-About 2100 at Manual Stadium two great teams clashed. Male kicked off, the ball rolled over the goal, and Captain Koshewa fell on the ball for a Touchdown. The score after a minute of play-Male 6, Manual O. Compton made' the placement. Both teams fought hard the rest of the game. Manual scored twice in the first half, the score being l3-7. Manual scored on a running play and Male scored on a pass play from Kuhn to Brunig. After the final gun sounded, the score, in the favor of Manual, 20-l3. BASKETBALL With the opening of Male's new Gymnasium many fellows turned out for the first meeting of basketball.

GAMES September l 5-Hoping to have an undefeated season, the Male High Bulldogs got started with a bang by defeating the Middlesboro Team by the tune of 39-O. September 22-Thinking of the small margin by which the Bulldogs won last year, the Bellevue team had revenge in their hearts. But they were stopped cold and Male High came out on the long of the score of 43-O. Kuhn, Taylor, and Compton did most of the scoring. September 29-With the urge to strive on and on the Bulldogs met the strong and heavy team of Woodlawn, Alabama on a wet field. The cogs of the Male machine just didn't have the proper punch and at the end of the game they came out on the short end of a I3-l2 score. October 6-The team, taking a long trip to Ashland, were expected to be defeated by the Ashland team. But with the urge to win drumming in their heads, they were not going to be defeated. The Ashland team held Male and by their actions they were beaten in the first half, but as things came around they were victorious by the score of 37-13. October I3--On the unlucky night of Friday the l3th the Bulldogs met the New Albany Bulldogs at New Albany. Through the smart and fast thinking of our little quarterback, Harry Reid, they kept the Bulldogs jumping. Kuhn and Compton again did most of the out- standing playing. The score was I3-O. October 20-It was a long trip to Covington, Kentucky, and the Male men were outweighed but in spite of all this they charged, tackled, blocked, and scored harder. At the end of the fourth period the Bulldogs of Male, again, came out on the top of a 21-7 score. November 3-On a very cold night the Boys' of Male warmed up by defeating the Danville Admirals to the tune of 26-l3. Danville made the first score, and at the half the score read l2-O in favor of Danville. Things looked very Blue for the Purples. But as the third and fourth periods rolled around things brightened up and the boys went on to win.

M Male High has probably the finest gym in the state, and one of the best high school gyms that will be found any- where, The class of '39 2 is proud that this building was dedicated during our final year at Male. To us, this addition won't be just the gym, but rather we will know it as White - Blandford Field House. The White - Blandford Field House will seat over four thousand spectators, This great seating capacity has naturally attracted several maior college games. We are sorry we just have pic- tures of the gym while it was being built, but that's the way most of the Class of '39l,'2 re- member it. We still wonder how they got that steam-shovel OUT.
