A winning basket with seconds to play, a goal line stand with but minutes remaining on the clock—such are the thrills of Island sports and such is the importance of that vital element, time. The time it takes to convert defeat to victory is only an infinitesimal fraction of the time spent drilling in preparation for such clutch play. Time is a treacherous factor in sports, heart-rending victories and defeats often resulting in last seconds of play. Hours are spent in the molding of winning teams and crack athletes. But after time has been at work for a short while, championships are broken and trophies soon tarnish under dust. Are then those years spend in developing these squads and athletes ill used? Though time is best noted for its ability to age man and to crumble his creations, known less, but in a sense just as strong, is time's abilities to create. The time devoted to sports participation is of the latter nature. The hours spent in teaching a tackle to crack through a line not only develop a charging lineman but creates an athlete with a fighting heart, a man who does not know the word quit. The afternoons of batting and pepper drills develop a .300 hitter and star first sacker. It also conveys a sureness and confidence in one’s own self. Weeks spent in practicing a pivot resulting in a high scoring center and a man who will approach future tasks with determination and perseverence. Such is the function of time in sports. 29

Gridders Win Five, Drop Three DE opened its season by traveling to St. Peter and dumping the home team 20 to 0. Jack May scored two touchdowns and kicked two extra points. Fullback Jerry Wright accounted for the other tally. In the next contest, played under the lights at St. Thomas, DE blasted Bloomington 27 to 7. Jack May, moving like a locomotive, scored all 27 points. The next victim of the now steamrolling Islanders was St. Augustine, who was routed 45 to 13. The Islander juggernaut was handed its first setback by a powerful Kau Claire, St. Pat's. The scoreboard read 31 to 6 at the final gun. The Conference opened at North Field with Cretin rocking the Islanders 34 to 20 after building up a 27 to 0 halftime lead. A homecoming was spoiled in St. Cloud, because the Islanders managed to trample the Crusaders 28 to 7. Two pass interceptions and one recovered fumble set up the margin for DE. DE continued on the following Sunday by jolting St. John's 20 to 6 in the homecoming game at North High. Again Jack May accounted for the whole total. St. Thomas dealt DE its second conference defeat for the finale of the season, 20 to 0. The Islander's previously powerful running attack met a stilting defense. And when they turned to a passing game, the Cadets set up two touchdowns on interceptions.
