VARSITY FCDOTBALL For years our athletic teams here at Austin have been handicapped because of source material. We receive some excellent material from Beardsley Junior High and Vine Junior High School, but our boys from Beardsley remain with us only two years and by the time they get the swing of the system and accustom themselves to physi- cal and mental surroundings, they have graduated. The same is true for the boys coming from Vine Junior except they re- main with us three years. All high schools in Knoxville, with the exception of Austin and one other, are able to use boys four years. This is also true in other surround- ing schools. There is also one sport-namely foot- ball-in which boys get no previous train- ing, as that program has not been in the junior high schools. The football season was considered a successful one with the Panthers finishing with an 8 won and 2 lost record. Austin started out with wins over the Alumni and Pikeville, and played a brilliant game against Sterling High of Greenville, S. C.- winning I3 to 7, however, lack of reserves and injuries figured greatly in a loss to Howard of Chattanooga. They were upset by Alcoa but finished strong by defeating Booker Washington of Chattanooga. They spoiled Augusta, Georgia's Lucy Laney High's Homecoming and defeated Hunts- ville, Alabama in the Austin Homecoming game. 61
