THE 1937 if untball The Casey Warriors started on the gridiron trail last fall with only one legular from the team of the year before, Captain Bill Staley. The team was led also by a new coach, Gene Rose. The boys showed fine spirit and fought courageously every minute of every game, winning five games and losing four. In the Eastern Illinois Conference Casey placed third in a league of ten teams and placed fifth in the Wabash Valley, a league of twenty-eight schools. The Warriors were victorious over Charleston, Paris, Martinsville, Robinson, and Marshall; they lost to Mattoon, Garfield of Terre Haute, Oblong, and Palestine. September 11—Mattoon (There) The Warriors with only six days of practice lost a night battle to the heavier Mattoon team to the tune of 12-0. October 2—Charleston (Here) The Warriors defeated Charleston 2-0 before 3,000 Fall Festival fans. Staley upset the dope bucket by kicking a field goal in the final seconds of play. October 10—Palestine (There) Palestine, the E. I. League champions, defeated us 7-6 on the Palestine field. Weaver's place kick hit the cross bar and kept us from tying the score. October 17—Oblong (Here) Oblong, led by Correll and Ship-man, instituted a second half attack that snowed Casey under by a score of 28-7. The score was tied at the half 7-7. Oblong had a real team and were Wabash Valley Champions for 1936. October 24—Paris (Here) Casey ran wild against Paris and routed them 27-6. The Warriors' attack was functioning perfectly; the score would have been much worse if Coach Rose had not substituted the Reserves in the last quarter. October 31—Garfield (There) Garfield High of Terre Haute defeated the Warriors 47-0. The Garfield team outweighed Casey 30 pounds to the man and were state champions of Indiana.
