South Dakota. This was the hrst time the two schools had met on a football field. so their methods of battle were new to each other. lVlitchell scored in the first and third quarters. after sustained drives. East scored two points in the last period when. after holding the visitors to downs on the one-yard line. a Mitchell backfield man stepped out of the end zone to puntg the play resulted in a teclmical safety.

North Omaha Uses Aerial Play East High suffered the second defeat of the season when the grid eleven of North High of Omaha visited our city and displayed a fast passing and run- ning attack.

Neither learn scored in the hrst or last periods of the game. all counters coming in the two middle quarters. East made twelve passes. com- pleting six and having five intercepted by Omaha men. North High made six passes and completed four. having one intercepted. Three of the four tosses were good for touchdowns and one for point after touchdown. The score at the hnal gun was 20-7. Griffith Honor Captain A new policy of electing an honorary captain at the end of each football sea- son was inaugurated at the first annual football banquet. The twenty lettermen duly placed this honor upon Wayne Griffith. stellar left end. Griffith played in every quarter of every game and was an excellent blocked and tackler. Carroll Student Manager Each year a student manager is chosen by Coach Davis. Football man- ager for this season was Alfred Car- roll. The student manager takes care of all equipment. is present at every practice, makes every trip and acts as all-around Mhandy man. Criflith Dm-is Si Carroll Stevens Coach Davis, athlete. trainer, and teacher. is respected and admired by those who know him and those with whom he works. HLes', has been with us for five years and during that time has built up football. basketball, and track teams that have won recognition throughout this section of the country. It is his aim and that of the athletic department: uto furnish good, clean, and wholesome athletics for boys of East Highg to teach them the highest ideals of manhoodg to train them to consider the other fellow. and to take victory and defeat in a manner becom- ing gentlemen. Coach Davis has succeeded in build- ing the athletic department of East High so that now his teams are not only well-coached but also well-equipped. During the entire year East High met no team that was equipped as well as they. Mr. Davis deserves our continued support and our wholehearted apprecia- tion of his work. Coach Stevens New Assistant Coach Stevens, Physical Director of East Junior School. was appointed as- sistant foothall coach for the '3l sea- son. He is a graduate of lowa State Teachers' College and played some ex- cellent football for that institution. A second team coach is faced with the task of building a team from en- tirely new material. Mr. Stevens took his squad. composed of about thirty-five men. taught them the fundamentals of football. formed them into a team. and completed a comparatively successful season. Although Coach Stevens hails from East Junior. he is present at almost all our activities. .g .- 'ik .H dans MU'l'll McKl'1NZll'l ANDERSON NEEDHAM Halfhack Fullback End End 44 .4 su 4. . - , SHOWALTER KRISS Halfback Haljback Th irteen

In this way, the en- thusiasm and good spirit of the student hody is transferred. with the help of the yell leaders. to the coach and team. However. East High differs from many schools in the respect that our school spirit is not conhned to athletics. The students support the school in all proj- ects it undertakes and even in our halls a spirit of East High loyalty reigns. l,el's lioost East High School!
