THE NGRTHERN TRAIL ARGONNE This game was lost in the first half. In the last half the team showed some real football but was unable to overcome the lead of the Ar- gonne team. As before, much improvement was shown. GOODMAN In the last game of the season Eagle met another defeat at the hands of the Goodman gridmen. However, the score was only 19 to 0. The Goodman line held like a Scotchman holding on to a dollar bill when Eagle advanced the ball almost across the goal line. Eagle showed promise for the next yelar and that was the main factor. r With all of our defeats the season may be regarded as very success- ful. A start was made. The boys had to work hard for the chance and the coach had to work hard trying to teach the game to a group that knew absolutely nothing about it. Next year this apparently wasted effort will be cashed in on. The boys will know the fundamental points of the game and then can learn the points that make the difference be- tween a winning and a losing team. '93 Coach Stuart MUCH can be said about the work Coach Stuart put in on a group of green and raw material. He labored diligently in all kinds of weather with at large group of candidates. He was always helping some- body. The Freshmen and the Sophomores received a good deal of atten- tion because they will be the representatives of Eagle in just a few short years. He taught them the fundamentals such as kicking and passing. These are things that cannot be perfected in one year. Two, three and four years are needed to get even a small start. Many scoff at the rec- ord of the team, but these little realize the hard work and time neces- sary to make a team out of raw material. Those who know willingly take off their hats to Coach Stuart. 5 :mv Clegg, Lf-A . , ' lf 'YZ' LQF-v 5' Page sixty-six

Football THE football season of 1928, although our team won no games, can still be considered as successful. The team was the first football team produced by the Eagle River High School in 15 years. The boys turned out and drilled diligently on the fundamentals. A foundation was built for the future and it is up to the lower classmen to make up for the defeats of this year. There were only five seniors on the squad, which consisted of over twenty-five. The games may be summarized as follows: ELCHO The first game Eagle's gridiron warriors played was at Elcho. Our inexperience accounted for the loss of this game. Promise of a forward passing game for the future was in evidence. The game was lost by a large margin. However, only one touchdown was scored against Eagle in the second half. WATERSMEET The red warriors played their second game on a field of mud. Waters- meet won this game by a margin of 10 points. Eagle's only points of the season were scored on a touchback by Watersmeet.
