Libbey also made a very good showing in the All-City team, with Huston, fullsback, and Schmakel, guard, making the first team, and Snyder and Perrine making the second. Many of our boys also received honorable mention. Very proud are we to say that Libbey scored splendid offense, Our captain, Dale Anderson, should also be complimented for his wonderful work. Next year, our promising junior, Lynn Georgia, will take Andy's place. As for Libbey's fa:rnous Flash Huston, he not only led our team to seven victories, but also was the high scorer of the city, making l2l points, thus ranking fourth highest in the state Long will our F938 football team remain in the minds of the thousands of spectators who attended the games. Of course, this victory is the result of many hard hours of practice on the part of both the boys and the coaches.

QF, B. Kerstetter C. Hannafcrd D. Anderson R. Gail playing the part of the good host, donned some old red shirts the firemen had left around the lockers to keep the Libbey gold from clashing with the Waite gold. Although Waite did outpower Libbey in every respect, the Cowboys managed an l8 to 14 victory over those rugged East Siders. Huston certainly put the spectators on the edge of their seats, as he ran ninety'five yards for the first touchdown of the game. With the score standing l4 to l2 in Waite's favor, Huey once again carrie to the top with a fifty-yard run to defeat Waite by one touchdown. Last but not least fby all meansll was that famous game with the DeVilbiss Tigers Entering an icy and unfamiliar field isn't always the easiest thing to do, but our Cowboys showed eight thousand fans how they could ride those Tigers-ice or no ice. With Georgia getting off some beautiful punts and Huston, Hannaford, and Anderson making the touchdowns, we defeated the West Siders with a 20 to 7 victory. incidentally, the touchdowns of both teams were scored in the second quarter. DeVilbiss scored first, but Libbey repeated with such rapidity that the Cowboys rushed the Tigers off their feet. The second half was by no means a standstill, each team trying in vain to score. But how the Libbeyites went wild when it was announced that Waite had beaten Scott, thus giving the Libbeyites the City Championship! What a sight-with the grinning gridders below forgetting that they were playing a game and the mob above going wild! Thus, the season closed with a championship team for the school and a glorious finale for our retiring coach. We, indeed, wish to congratulate the two other varsity coaches, Bill Orwig, for his splendid work in coaching the line, and Bus Harding, for devoting so much time to the backfield. lf it had not been W.

Bob Ste Dick Trumbull VARSITY lt's a toss-up! Then the sound of a whistle, a cheer from the crowd, the sudden stillness of the night wind as it hits one's face while leaving the last game, all this to remind one of the victories and losses that have gone to make up another year of athletic Competition in varsity basketball at Libbey. The marvelous ability, work, and fighting spirit displayed by the boys on the varsity line make them worthy of the Libbey The first two games proved a good start, for the boys trimmed Fremont Ross and Tiffin lunior Qrder 37-30 and l6-8 respectively. Then came the first defeat of the season with our boys bow- ing to a large St. loseph quintet 22-l9 on the latter's floor. Libbey's defense tightened so intensely that the strong Xenia team couldn't manage to get through and the scoreboard showed a 30-24 Cowboy victory. Kenton and Waite then turned up Libbey with 31-l9 and 3l-28 scores. We finally opened up in the city tournament with Delfilbiss, when a hard-fought game brought a victory of one point 27-26 over the Tigers. A losing streak of three games pulled us down in the city standings when we lost to Woodward, Macomber and Cen- tral, 20-19, 34-24. and 39-27.
