A FOOTBALL A Capitalizing on the fact that there were seven returning lettermen and about one hundred boys turning out for senior high football the Mustangs won four and lost six games this season. Two of the wins were in the Northeast Kansas League. Two new coaches were also a main factor this season. Kenneth I. Dick, former coach at Bertrand, Nebraska, took over the duties as head coach and Frank Scott was named his assistant. Roy T. Baker, the Mustang basketball mentor, acted as line coach. This year’s lettermen consisted of fourteen seniors, four juniors, and two sophomores. Somewhat of a record was set by the Mustangs in the Lawrence game as thirty-four passes were tossed and fourteen were completed on a very muddy field. Bill Holtom and Ed Hanson, All-Star tackle and end respectively, were elected co-captains at the end of the season. Chet Strehlow gained much recognition for his passing and ball handling for the “T”. Cus Burton, Ralph Ninemire, Karl Eldridge, Don Stephenson and Jack Walling were mentioned on several All-Star teams. a ARCENTIAN 1948 A a TWENTY-SIX a

THIRD ROW—Bowman, Burton, Cook, Doyle, Eldridge, Hanson SECOND ROW—Holtom, Ingraham, Kirk, Lawson, Lillich, Mullens FIRST ROW—Nail, Ninemire, Patton, Stephenson, Strehlow, Walling A FOOTBALL LETTERMEN A Another outstanding game of the season was the Rosedale game from which the Mustangs emerged a 6 to 0 victor. Both teams were fairly well matched as neither team had scored until deep into the final period when the Mustangs crossed the double stripe into pay dirt. Many games this season were played under very wet and muddy conditoins, especially the game with Shawnee Mission to which the Mustangs bowed 18 to 0. Coach Dick described the playing field as a “Sea of Mud.” In the Leavenworth game the weather condition was a little better and the Mustangs showed one of the finest exhibitions of offensive playing ever seen in the high school football. The Argentine-Wyandotte game was a tough game for both teams. Being traditional foes, both teams fought very hard and the goal line was crossed only three times during the entire game. Football gained the interest of many more persons than usual this year. There was a record crowd at the Wyandotte game. The largest paid attendance at home games in the history of Argentine high school was registered this year and the enthusiasm is expected to be even greater next year.
