He has worked hzzlrd to whip this team into shape, and should be proud of the result. From the sore shoulders and backs at the first of the season it is evident that he not only worked himself, but also worked his men hard. Mr. Moyer is not only our athletic coach but i s also a member of the faculty, and is as efficient in the class room as he is in giving East I-Iigli a star eleven. Page Twenty-live

1. - R rv OYAL Hibbs, captain of ouv eleven, makes an able assistant to Mr. Moyer. He is a veteran of last season and was elected calptain because of his brilliant playing and also because ofgeniality. He has a smile on his face most of the time but when he plays he goes in to Win or fight all thetirne, even in a losing game. From appearances he goes in to 'get the other fellow but ,he always plays an clean game. Page Twenty-four

,.. ,.-...f-fn -.. .. ., Q WI .Vim East High vs. Iudianola N SEPT. 27th East High tucked away the first game of the season against Indianola High by a score of 13 to 0. Indianola brought a. strong well balanced team to battle East and put up a stilf game for three quarters. However, the pace set by the East High battlers was too strong and in the final quarter two touchdowns and a free kick spelled defeat for the invaders. K While Indianola came prepared to give the battle of their lives and fully expecting to win, the game was more or less of a prac- tice affair for East to test out the playing qualities of seine twenty- five men for places on the team. For that reason the team work of East was very ragged at times. The vets of former teams, who had returned from Uncle Sanfs service, were full of pep but had hardly enough practice to get back into old time form. HOW- ever, Walters, Hanflstrom, Wallerstedt, Yencer, and Floyd Hibbs showed great promise and will be heard from before the season is over. For three quarters Indianolri held East and at times had the latter on the defensive. East seemed to lack punch on the offen- sive and could not break thru the heavy Indianola line. Graves, quarter, and Nichols, half, for Indianola broke thru several times for good gains but met a stone wall near the goal line. East seemed to be rather Weak on punting and on exchange of punts lost ground. I However, in the final period East seemed to strike its stride and had the ball most of the time. A beautiful forward pass- Johnnie to Bus-resulted in a touchdown after Bus has made a pretty run ot' forty yards. Goal was kicked, and with the score 7 to O East kicked oft to Indianola. The latter :failed to advance the ball and attempted a pass which was intercepted by Wallerstedt who carried the hall to Indianola's iifteen yard line. After a series of OIT-tackle plays and short end runs, Mcllflain went thru tackle for the second and final touchdown. Johnnie failed to kicic goal and the game ended. For Indianola Graves, Nichols, and Hunnicut put up a good game. East really had no particular stars bL1t Tew, Handstrom, 'Walters, Captain Hibbs, and Krueger will make some one step lively to stop them before many more games are played.
