They proved to be a better team than a lot of people thought at this time last year. They got second place in the Moultrie County and Okaw Valley Tournaments. They also took the Okaw Valley Conference. This is the first undisputed title the Knights have obtained. They advanced to the semi-finals of the Mattoon Regional Tournament by defeating Arcola but were nipped by lvtattoon, the regional champs. This season the Knights had something they haven't had for a while and that was height. They made good use of it and were very seldom out rebounded. Another interesting note is that at one time during the season each of the first six men was high scorer of the game. Arthur did very well against their two strongest rivals-uAtwood and Sullivan. They won two out of three with Atwood and captured three of three from Sullivan. We hope that it continues in this manner, The Pages showed also that they could play good ball. They turned in some fine games this year. Next year, when they are Knights, they will be ready to meet the enemy with confidence if they improve as they did this year. The squad worked hard under the leadership of Coach Neville and the fans are happy over the outcoine of the season and indeed appreciate the work of both the squad and coach. 44 47 PD

Calisthenics came first, passing and blocking drill, signal practice and then scrimmage. Night football was introduced into Arthur during the past season which proved to be very successful. We have one of the best lighted fields in the Okaw. Although the Knights record was not very impressing, you can note that they were one of the best defensive teams in the conference. They were beaten several times by a few points, but three touchdowns was the most scored upon them during one game. They also have two ties to their credit. One of these, the Nokomis game, will undoubtedly stand out in our mind. The score was 7-7. Mr. Neville came during mid-season and gave Mr. Warner ample aid. Under the direction of Mr. Warner, and Mr. Neville, the football squad played fine games throughout the season. Next year the prospects look .aiu good and we are sure they will do their best.
