Prac- tice was started two weeks before school opened. Denison outplayed their first opponent, Jeffer- son, on Jeff'erson's home field. Although Denison had carried the ball into scoring distance six times, they failed to score, consequently were beaten 6-0. In their first home game, the Mon- archs came from behind 13-6 to win over Ida Grove 26-18. Onawa proved an easy 14-6 victory in the game played on Denison's home field. The outstanding game played was against Logan in which Denison struck back from a 14-0, Logan half-time lead, to win in the last 15 seconds 26-20. Homecoming, October 12, saw Carroll defeat Denison for the third straight year 25-6. Denison bounced back to victory over Missouri Valley 38-13. Denison lost an offensive battle to the Sac City Indians 26-25. Confident of victory, Deni- son met Storm Lake, at Storm Lake, but due to the fact that two touchdown runs of 75 and 45 yards, respectively, were called back. they went down to a 20-6 loss. The season ended with a thriller against Harlan Armistice Day. Officials ruled the touchdown, that would have proved a Denison victory, was made after the game ended and Denison lost 12-7.

This was the impression of the open- ing game of the Monarch basketball season which Sac City won 30 to 20. In a two week period, Mapleton, Ida Grove, Manning and Harlan won their cage bouts against the Monarchs. The thrill of these games was the last second 17-16 Ida Grove victory. A determined Denison team met the Audubon quintet in the 24-15 Monarchs victory in the last hours before the '46 New Year's baby marched in. Denison lost an 18-17 battle at the hands of Carroll but came back to defeat Jefferson 47-17 and Logan 42-8. A third Monarch victory came on the return Sac City game, but a defeat went with the Ida Grove second encounterment. The Monarchs having played a fair tourna- ment schedule brought glory to themselves by breezing past Kiron, Charter Oak and Manilla to win the county tournament. Before a crowd of 1,100, Dow City proved vic- torious in a 28-26 win over the Monarchs. Three more defeats were met by the Monarch quintet. These were Carroll, 27-18: Manning, 25-19, and Jetferson, 41-25. Hopes were raised when Denison placed over Charter Oak in the sectional tournament at Mapleton. A trip to the district meet at Atlantic brought the 28-18 win over Avoca, but in the sec- ond district game Denison fell under the mighty Atlantic five. This 42-25 defeat at the hands of the Trojans prevented a Monarch journey to sub- state. on L-f-f
