Review of the Games Bethany 25 Arthur 12 The Knights opened their campaign with the veteran Bethany eleven, but the lack of experience and weight were too much of a handicap and the boys went down after a gallant fight. Charleston 25 Arthur 6 Showing effects of the gruelling game the week before, the locals played adull and listless game and were defeated by the big Charleston team. Sullivan 27 Arthur 2 Hard running Sullivan was too much for the smaller Knights and the Knights lost their third straight game. Villa Grove 40 Arthur 13 The Wilsonmen, showing their worst form of the season and muffing several scoring opportunities lost to a very good Villa Grove team for their second conference lost. Atwood 33 Arthur 0 Failing to score in their first game of the 1950 campaign our neighbors to the North were wanting to play football just a little more than our Knights. Craig Watkins played his last game as he injured his knee on a clip by Murray. Oakland 7 Arthur '7 With the Knights all fired up and wanting to play f o otb all they had little trouble in gaining a tie with Oakland, one of the football powerhouses of the Okaw. Monticello 39 Arthur 12 Arthur got rolling with 16 first downs to 9 for the Sages, but first downs don't count as the Knights lost their homecoming game and also the services of little Abe Grant who cracked a bone in the side of his head. Arcola 50 Arthur 7 Cold weather and red hot Arcola were too much for the Knights as they poured it on to a tune that is distasteful to neighbors. Lovington 60 Arthur 0 The pour on fever seemed to be catching as Jean Mason and his Bulldogs handed the Knights their worst defeat of the season to end the campaign.

The game that was tied was by a conference foe, the Oakland Oaks, by a 7-7 count. Coach Wilson has high hopes for his boys next year if the tide will change and give us a few breaks at the right time. Despite the unfortunate number of defeats during the season, Coach Wilson considers this group a true championship team, for, from the beginning to the end of the season, the boys cooperated and put up a game fight in each new en- counter. Injuries plagued the Knights, but they proved by their fine spirit that they were of the stuff of which champions are made. A S
