WASHINGTON I4-0 , ndefeated 10-O-O For almost five decades De La Salle has been a vital part of Kansas City high school football. Always, the Titans have been known as a tough team to beat. This season especially was not an exception. As usual, the pre- liminaries begain in August with long, hot days of prac- tice. Shouts got louder, tempers got shorter, and school finally started. The first game was against Van Horn. Early in the game the Titans scored and they marched on to their first victory, 26-6. Next came always tough Central, and thoughts of last year. We won our closest game of the season, 15-13. A safety and then, with two minutes left, a touchdown saved the Titans from defeat. The Titans met Lee's Summit and again came from behind to win the sea- son's third game, 20-6. Moving on to Truman, the team blanked their opponent for victory number four, 34-0. Now at the peak of their winning tide, the Titans met Immacu- lata for an overwhelming 52-6 victory. The Fightin' Titans reached the middle of the season undefeated, but there was still a long way to go. Facing them was the doubly important game, number six, which was against arch rival, Rockhurst, and was also the homecoming game. The Titans however, moved the ball by ceaseless effort and determination, keeping the Hawks scoreless, to win the game of the season, 14-0. Riding the crest of their six straight victories, the Titans only allowed one touchdown each to Meige, Sumner and Smith-Cotton to win the seventh, 26-6, eighth, 14-6, and ninth, 27-7, games of the season. With the ninth win, defeating the Sedalia team, the Titans were recognized by the Kansas City Star as the top team in the area. In the last game, the Titans kept Washington scoreless, 14-0, to end the season undefeated and untied. The foot- ball season closed with Coach Culver carried off the field. The Titans also carried with them the assurance that DLS was, indeed, Number ONE ! COACH OF THE YEAR- JERRY CULVER PLAYER OF THE YEAR- DAVE REBORI ALL AMERICAN - OERRICK McCORD
