HEAVYWEIGHT FOOTBALL T7HEX the football suits were fin-ally turned in after the season’s last game, there were looks of satisfaction on the countenances of the boys who had fought in those suits through five victories, two ties, and two defeats, to say nothing of the daily practice. It had been a great season and. though the Eagles failed to overcome Lihertyville for the Conference Championship, they were satisfied with second place—that is, until next time. Among the hoys who turned out for practice early in the fall were seven let-termen from last year. With but a week’s practice Watson put together a team that met Maine’s powerful squad in the season’s opener. The Eagles were trimmed 34-0 but the game did the boys good in the way of experience for the coming season. Then came the conference race with Bensenville heading the list of opponents on Leyden’s schedule. The boys took a tough game from their neighbors by the small margin of one touchdown and prepared to take on the next two schools, Arlington and Barrington. They won both games 13- 0; then came the big game of the year with Lihertyville on October 16. The Wildcats proved themselves superior by humiliating the Eagles 20-0 and Lev-den had to he content with a revenge against Warren for last year’s defeat. Warren fell before the Maroons 18-6. 'fhe battle with Antioch came out a draw 0-0 and Leyden closed its conference schedule by easily heating Palatine 33-0. The season’s last game was staged at Dundee, where the boys fought a hard game to a scoreless tie. Six boys will he missed on the gridiron next fall.
