After losing a practice game to Potter Valley, Durham played the first league game with Princeton who defeated the Trojans by a score of 37 to 40. Next, on October 9th, Durham traveled to East Nicolaus and was again defeated, 30 to 36. On October 16th Elk Creek traveled here for a game. Durham was first thought to be the win- ner: but after the game was over, it was discovered, that due to an incorrect ruling by the officials, that Elk Creek had really won the game, 37 to 40: so Durham conceded the game to them. On the following Friday, Wheatland invaded Durham and went home victorious after squeezing past the Trojans, 24-26. Then Durham traveled to Williams where they were defeated, 49 to 22, which was the fifth loss of the season. On November 6th, Maxwell came to Durham, and after a very hard fought game, took the vic- tory from Durham, 7l to 52. Then came the big moment of the year! On a rainy day and on a wet turf, the Durham High Trojans defeated the Hamilton City Braves for the first time in seven years, Even though Durham lost most of its games, the students all felt great because of defeating Hamilton City. Throughout the entire season the team was led through hardships and glory by our own great coach, Mr. Herb Jergentz. . L. Q . . im, L . x , . S Vp'-4. Q45 5 ' f QE WR N -'Ne' X.
