GRIDIRON COMBATS The night was September 5 when the Wildcats rushed upon the field and soon the season was in full swing. The game with Dugger ended as usual -Clinton 45-Dugger 0. A week passed and Plainfield traveled to Clinton, hoping to oppress the Clinton eleven. Although showing courage and vigor, they couldn't with- stand the Gold Gr Black onslaught and gave way to a 49-0 defeat. The much improved Wildcats next journeyed up state and encountered Washington of East Chicago. Washington proved to be too big and strong for Clinton, and after putting up a hard fight the Wildcats ended on the short end of the 26-I2 score. Clinton next encountered a team at the opposite end of the state, Reitz of Evansville. Reitz had a fast moving back-field which proved in the end to be too much for the Wildcats. Outscored but not outplayed, the Wildcats were subdued 20-6 as Reitz scored twice in the last 3 minutes of play. Now with two games on either side of the ledger, Clinton met Bicknell and emerged victor in spite of a foggy night which made it practically impossible to see across the field. Again leaving the home front, the Clinton Crew traveled to Memorial. Stadium to match their strength with Wiley. The Red Streaks moved within a few inches of the goal, but Clinton's line held and won the game 6-0. The psychological affect of two victories in a row gave the Wildcats new! pep and confidence, and Garfield was turned away without much difficulty by a Zi-0 count. Drenched in body but not dampened in spirits by a steady downpour, the Gold or Black color-bearers met the Muncie team on a very muddy field. The mud caused frequent fumbles and slips. This situation however, couldn't handicap the Clinton lads and Muncie trailed by a score of I3-6. On Armistice Day Clinton went to Brazil where its tide was not to be stopped. ln the last quarter Brazil's time came and they gradually moved down the field. Although Brazil scored, they began too lateg Clinton won 20-6. Then on Turkey Day, the day of days, came the annual Homecoming game with Sullivan. A parade was held with Theresa Murphy HS Queen. The lads fought gallantly, but Sullivan prevailed. Their runners seemed to roll from the Wildcat tacklers and their aerial attack was hard to cope with. ln the end it was l4-0 to Clinton's disappointment. And so ended the season of 4I-42 - 7 victories, 3 defeats. ALL-STATE TEAM Mike Rodich-R. G. ALL-WABASH VALLEY Mike Rodich-R. G. Dub Scaggiari-F. B. Sugar Bates-R. E.
