FOOTBALL “Good! They’ve gotta be good!” And indeed they were good to defeat Lane High School. Lane led H-O at the end of the first half, but when the final whistle sounded, 14-13 gave us the victory. On a foreign field, and handicapped by injuries, our team nevertheless managed to push over the victory. The deciding factor was Bruin’s placement kick for extra point. As a result of our victory, we became champions of North-eastern Virginia. Of course our season opened with the usual routine training and practice games. Our team started off with a 7-0 defeat of National I ' raining School and then lost three straight to William and Mary Frosh, Hopewell, and Western. However, they enjoyed a good day to defeat St. Johns 20-0. This was followed by a defeat at the hands of National Training School. And then came the climax of the schedule — Washington and Lee, our traditional rivals. They were not a league rival but we had to beat them for old time’s sake, and to revenge last year’s defeat. This we did with the aid of Jimmy Luckett, ineligible under league rules, and a perfect air attack. The final score was 14-7. After an intervening game, we played our only league game, that with Fredericksburg. We entered the game as favorites, in view of our victory over Washington and Lee, who had previously defeated Fredericksburg. We finished as winners by a score of 13-0 4(84

Our team was then asked to compete in the State finals as a result of winning District competition. Lane High, of Charlottesville, was our first opponent. By fighting to the end and by staging a brilliant comeback, Alex- andria overcame a 13-point lead. At the end. Bruin, who had been out with an injured shoulder, was rushed in to kick the deciding point, making the score 14-13. What a game! Our season as a whole was a very successful one. Most of our defeats were suffered at the hands of Class A high schools or strong prep schools. Swavely Prep gave us our worst defeat, 47-0. Our team this year showed no outstanding star. Above all it was built on teamwork. They were all good; but we must mention a dominant figure, Sheads, a Junior, who, at the present rate, should be all-State when he graduates. The ’31 -’32 team was one of the greatest we have ever had. Let’s hope for more to follow. Many of our men will graduate this year, but we wish Pete Jackson, our captain-elect for next year, good luck! Summary of Games Won Lost 5 6
