CROWN POINT INKLINGS more yard, scored more first downs and had fewer penalties, but that doesn’t win a ball game. Red and White Trim Rensselaer Register: In a hard, fast game, Crown Points light, but speedy, men showed what can be done with a team that works together and plays the game for the school and victory. Everything seemed to click in this game.. Crown Point’s aerial attack was remarkable, and the ground gaining was superb. Sometimes, however, the boys were a little too anxious to make their gains and were penalized nine times for off¬ sides and one time for backfield in motion. C. P. Loses to Morris Register: Crown Point journeyed to Morris last Friday to meet the high school team of that city. Morris, it seem¬ ed pulled a fast one and slipped in their college team, for those repre¬ senting Morris weighed close to two hundred pounds e ach. This was offset by the fact that they were a good bunch of sports, as well as good hosts. The local boys were defeated by a score of 25-0. C. P. Loses to Arch Rivals Meeting its old rivals on Lowell’s field. Crown Point High School lost its annual tilt—13 to 6. All the “dope” was in C. P.’s favor, but Low¬ ell pulled quite an upset. It was a great football day, and the crowds turned out as they always do for this, THE game of the season. The Crown Point Band in its bright col¬ ored uniforms, presented a beauti¬ ful spectacle, and everything seem¬ ed right for a C. P. victory; but Lowell had other plans and they carried them out. C. P. Defeats Central In one of the closest and most hard fought battles of the season, C. P. downed Central. Both teams were evenly matched in size and weight, but Crown Point was click¬ ing and going like a house on fire. Credit for the touchdown goes to “Gunner” Kubal, the right tackle. Jim intercepted a pass, and he sure made a bee line for the goal. The Crown Point goal was threatened twice in the last quarter, but Bill Fifield saved the day with two great kicks. All in all, Crown Point was in there tooth and nail from one end to the other of the field in all four quarters. 7TII AND 8TH GRADE ATHLETICS This year Coach Church tried something that has never been done before at C. P. H. S. and not only did he try it but he made a success of it. The 7th and 8th grade teams had scheduled games the same as the varsity and second team although not as many. They had eight gam- |es scheduled and came through a I perfect season with 8 victories and no defeats.

FOOTBALL High School Football Season Opens Register: In a pre-season practice game, the new varsity squad, under the tutelage of Paul Church, our new athletic director, held the heavier Alumni to a 6-6 tie.

Stonex ’33, Dick Madsen ’33, and Bob Volk ’33. C. P. Loses to Mishawaka Crown Point was beaten 18 to 6 in this game, but they showed that the old fight was there. Shorty Woods missed this game because of a leg injury, and he was missed in the line-up. (It was in this game too that Jimmy Kubal gained re¬ nown as a gunman.) C. P. H. S. Trims Clark In a close game payed at St. Mary’s field, Cro wn Point High School nosed out the Clark High chool team of Hammond by a score of 7-6. It was Crown Point’s first Con¬ ference Game on the home field, and they really started out the season right. Red and White Lose Close Scrap Register: The Church men lost a battle that really was a victory in one sense of the word.

Berg Harper Borchert Brown Hamilton Laben Hershman Klinefelter Christman Register: Crown Point journeyed down to Hillsboro to open the season and was defeated 30 to 12. Most of the team lacked experience under fire, but they showed that better things could be expected of them as the season progressed. Register: Vedersburg was the next stop. This time the boys won in an over¬ time 17-15. It was a hard, fast game all the way through and prov¬ ed the boys could endure a four quarter fight, along with their oth¬ er accomplishments. Register: The Hub men went down to Goodland for their third tilt of the season. The game was nip and tuck all the first half, but finally the Goodland’s team height began to tell. They started to score too fast for the C. P. H. S. boys to catch up -with them. Register: In the first home game of the sea¬ son, Crown Point High, who tangl¬ ed with the Froebel Blue Devils, all but nosed out a victory over the strong Gary team. Neither Froebel nor Crown Point had an advantage throughout the entire game. One or two points made up all the dif¬ ference in the score. Finally in the last few seconds, the Blue Devils put the game on ice with a long shot, making the score 26-24. The reserves also showed up well in this, their second game of the season.
