Cummins Admirals To Be Congratulated On Fine Spirit Shown In Male Game One of the finest displays of fighting spirit ever witnessed in Danville was that shown by the Admirals against Male High School. It was the old never-give-up spirit that has carried many Danville High School football teams to glorious victories in the past. Against Male, the Admirals were facing a team, chosen from over fifteen hundred stu- dents, which numbered about forty-five mem- bers on its squad. and which was instructed by five coaches. Yet, the Big Blue, even when behind fourteen points, never quit fight- ing in an attempt to win for coaches Mount- joy and Woford. Even though not quite able to overcome the lead, the Admirals scored two touchdowns against one of the best teams in the state. Every member of the squad and both coaches are to be congratulated on the fine spirit shown by the team against Male. The student body is to be praised for the backing and co-operation shown for the team on that day. We are sure that the players fully appreciate the fact that the students are back of them, win or lose. The Last War, Fought To Save the World for Democracy, Was in Vain On November 11, seventeen years ago, two mighty armies were given commands to cease fighting. The whole world wildly rejoiced that those four long years of slaughter and horror were ended. In our own country there was wild joy - bells, sirens and the glad shouting of deliriously happy men and women combined in celebration of the end of this great conflict. In 1935, Armistice Day was marked by the usual pageantry, prayers, and wreaths upon tombs of soldiers, known and unknown. These ceremonies were overshadowed, however, by the fear that the world would again be drawn intg battle. Jealousies between nations con- tinue, armaments increase, international trcaties are scrapped, and the world is still cursed by individual aspirants for political power. Years have passed, but the millions of lit- tle white crosses, and the hospitals full of pitifully maimed veterans form a grim re- minder of the tragedies of war. This heroic sacrifice was made in vain, and loved ones suffered for a lost cause, because this war to end war and make the world safe for de- mocracy accomplished nothing but great de- struction. Although no student of Danville- High can remember this last great conflict, we have heard, all of our lives, of the necessity of pre- venting further wars. With the invention of new methods of destruction, few would sur- vive to recite the horrors. It seems to be up to our generation, knowing the stark trage- dies of useless human conflict, not to be mis- led by the artificial glamour of war propa- ganda, but to really uphold the principles of true peace. Tribute On a summit, thirteen hundred feet above Vailima, Samoa, lies Robert Louis Stevenson. On every November thirteenth, the anniver- sary of his birth, natives weed a path, then form a procession and carry wreaths upward to his massive tomb, chanting meanwhile for Tusitala, Teller of Tales, to return to them. Today Samonans untangled the growth from trails That wind aloft to Vasa's lonely crest, Their arms were heavy with wreaths for the Teller of Tales, Imploring gods to aid and to guide their quest, If I could bridge the vastness of time and space I too would gather hibiscus wreaths of flame And climb the heights alone to that quiet place Bearing a gift of love, a tribute to fame. Instead gaunt fingers of leaves clasp wisps of snow Pale as shadows in distant seas to-nightg The grate's a crater of coral flame hung low: flight. -Mrs. Gladys Archer. Principal's Comer Tomorrow, representatives of St. Xavier High School of Louisville, including foot- ball players, students, and fans, will be our guests. Let us treat them with the courtesy and consideration which they are entitled to receive. The Admirals hope to send the visitors back on the short end of the score. Regardless of the outcome of the game, however, let us not forget our manners. Tomorrow's game will mark the final ap- pearance, in high school football, of eight Admirals who will be on the starting team. Seven oth-ers, on the remaining squad, will don the football blue for the last time or have been compelled to drop out because of injuries. These fifteen boys have tried hard to live up to the traditions of Admiral teams of the past. It is needless to say that those who get into the game- tomorrow will play their best. The- Pep new Supply appearance, ball season.

More about this later! Not-original-but-seen-somewhere: It's not the school I mind. It's the principal of the thing.

6 THE LOG BIG BLUE TIED BY YELLOW JACKEIS Last Quarter Rally By Admirals Fails to Overcome Lead Before a homecoming crowd, the Middlesboro Yellow Jackets and the Danville High Admirals play- ed to a 14-14 tie at Middlesboro on Saturday, November 9. Danville came from behind to tie the score in the last four minutes of play, and had possession of the ball on the Yellow Jacket's ten yard stripe when the game ended. After making a sustained 60 yard drive in the first few min- utes of play, the Admirals scored on a short pass from Inman to Johnson. Love, right end, made good the extra point from place- ment. The rest of the half was featured by a passing spree of Middlesboro, which failed to score. In the opening minutes of the second half, Webb, right guard for Middlesboro, blocked Johnson's punt which rolled over the goal line. Middlesboro's left tackle fell on the ball for a touchdown. A few minutes later, White, left end, in- tercepted Leather's lateral and ran 35 yards for the second Mid- dlesboro tally. Following another Danville drive in the final period, Johnson took the ball over on a short drive through center. Luns- ford, right tackle, kicked the ty- ing point. The game ended with the ball in Danville's possession on Middlesboro's ten yard line. Statistics show that Middlesboro made thirteen first downs to Dan- ville's nine. The Admirals were playing without the services of line-captain Joe Brown. ADDRESS SYSTEM FOUND ENJOYABLE Perhaps the most enjoyable of the many improvements made on the Danville High School football field is the public address system which was installed this year. This equipment was given to the school by the classes of 1935 and 1936. Although some have poked fun at the announcers, undoubted- ly the broadcasting has been helpful for those who do not un- derstand or cannot follow the game. LITTLE BLUE ENDS ITS 1935 SEASON Defeating the Somerset Re- serves for the second time, the Danville Reserves closed their 1935 football season. For a second time this season the Burgin team defeated Danville, this time by a score of 14-13. Danville held Bur- gin to a 13-7 score until late in the last quarter. Coach Griffin ther sent several members of his sec- ond team into the game, in an ef- fort to let as many boys as pos- sible see action. In the last min- ute and a half. Burgin scored the winning touchdown. The Somerse' game was much easier than the tilt with the tough Burgin eleven. By several long marches down fl-c field, featured by exciting runs and quick passing, the Danville team finished on the heavy end of a 27-0 score. Throughout the season, Carpen ter, Zumstein, Kelsay, and Hol- lingsworth showed excellent team- work and playing ability. They are apparently the best prospects for the Admiral squad next year. LEXlNGTO TIES D. H. S. ADMIRALS Although Doped to Win, Admirals Fumble Away Victory To the Danville Admirals, a 7-7 tie with Coach Heber's Blue Devils came as quite a surprise in a game played at Lexington, October 25. Danville was doped to win the con- test. Fumbles by the Admirals were costly. Inman, receiving a lateral from Allen, took the ball over for Dan- ville, making the first six points of the game. Early in the second half, Levy, in a line buck, scored a touchdown, after the Blue Devils had made a short march from the Admiral's 22. Love, Danville's right end, re- turned the opening kick-oii' to his own 39. In three successive first downs, the pigskin was carried to the Devil's 4. Allen gained one yard through the line on the next play. On the following play, Al- len lateraled to Inman who took the ball over. Little Ollie Luns- ford, with a perfect boot from fContinued on Page Sevenj ADMIRALS BOW T0 MALE HIGH, 14-12 Loss Was First Home Defeat of Danville in Ten Years Before a crowd of approximate- ly 4,000 fans, the Male Purples of Louisville, defeated the Dan- ville Admiralg on November 1, at Farris stadium, by a score of 14- 12, having been held to a 0-0 tie during the first half. It was Dan- ville's first home defeat in ten years. Katope, Male's ace quarterback, -scored twice for the Purples, first, in the third quarter, receiving a pass from Spence, and, the sec- ond time, in the last quarter, in- tercepting a pass. Danville's two scores came in the last nine min- utes of the game. Johnson receiv- ed a pass from Inman for the first marker, and, for the last score, Love fell on the ball over the goal line after Foster had b'ocked a punt.. Although outplayed by Male in the first half, Danville advanced the pigskin to the Purple's 3 yard stripe for a first down and the greatest goal threat of the game. Further advancement was halt- ed by the gun ending the half. Again in the third quarter the Ad- mirals threatened the Purple goal. Inman passed to Johnson on the Male 30. Johnson on the same play lateraled to Allen who ran the ball to the 9 yard line before going out of bounds. Johnson then carried the ball to Ma1e's 4. Austin intercepted a pass from Inman on the goal line. Male, taking the ball on the goal line, punted out of danger. Katope was probably the out- standing player for Male in the backfield. Inman and Johnson were outstanding for Danville in the backfield, and Lunsford, Love and Hendren played best in the line. First downs totaled: Male, eleven: Danville, five. Punts av- eraged thirty-six yards for both teams. Danville completed eight out of seventeen passes for a to- tal of 132 yards to Male's five completed out of fifteen attempts, for 49 yards. In line plunges, Male gained 61 yards to Danville's 24. Male's total gains from passes fContinued on Page Seven! ADMIRALS DEFEAT RICHMO D, Z5-7 .iii Superior Big Blue Scores Three Touchdowns in Last Half A superior Danville High School team, having been held to a one touchdown margin at the half, came back in the last two periods to defeat Richmond 25-7, in a game played at Richmond on No- vember 15. The Admirals first scored in the initial stanza on a pass from In- man to Love, followed by a lateral to Johnson. Papa Lunsford made good the try for the extra point. In the third quarter Danville received the ball and, in four first downs, carried the pigskin to Richmond's six-yard line. An eleven yard heave from Inman to Leathers was good for the second six points. A short time later, Al- len intercepted a Richmond pass on the Purple 30, and ran to the three yard line. Johnson went off right tackle for the touchdown. Early in the fourth quarter, Madison opened up a pass'attack which ended bv Moberly taking a heave from Flanagan for Rich- m0nd's only score. Hardin ran around end for the extra point. fContinued on Page Sevenl Coach's Corner The Danville High School's place in football has been a very enviable- one. For the last ten years our team has domi- nated football in Central Ken- tucky. This year's team has . not lived up to expectations. It ' will necessarily be a long time H before our team will build it- self up to the glories of former years. l -v 'l Whenever a team believes it , can win football games just be- l cause the teams in the past 3 have won, that team is doomed , to failure. It takes a concsn- ' trated effort on the part of the ' boys and a will and determina- I tion to get good enough to win before any team can play its best. It takes spirit and will- ' ingness to sacrifice everything else for the good of the team.
