Spadafora. Absent, K. Clarke. FOOTBALL Although C. H. S. had a team which looked as if it might put up a good fight and win most of its games, we ran into more competition than we an- ticipated. We had a team which would not give in. After a defeat it would practice all the harder for the next game with the result that the scores were raised above those of the year before. When Ken Clarke hurt his shoulder in the Rome game it was thought that one of our mainstays in the backfield was lost for the rest of the season but he was soon back on the team, fighting as hard as ever. An- other boy who took a lot of punish- ment was Joe Reed who was hurt in several games. There will be several players who will be greatly missed on this year’s team. They are: “Scud” Dew, “Gord” Klock, “Ed” Nichols, “Ebert” Wood, Olle” Gustafson. Those who received block letters are as follows: “Scud” Dew. “Gord” Klock, “Ken Clarke, “Vinnie” Grilli, “Joe” Reed, “Syd” Shaffer, “Joe” Mau- ro, “Ebert” Wood, “Laddie” Lake, “Jim” Maloney, “Howard Bellamy, “Pidge” Norton, “Putt” Nodecker, Harold Hollenbeck.
