Seven lettermen reported for practice in September and formed the nucleus for the starting eleven. All eleven men stood out in each game and no one boy could be called the star. Kirkton, Malcom, Lindsey and Gordon made a formidable backfield for all opponents. Jim Davis was a standout at center and Gaines, Hartman, McWilliams and Cox were tough linemen. The climax of the season was the defeat of Eureka, 6-0, Armistice Day. This was their first defeat in 18 games and first El Paso win over Eureka since 1938. With a few breaks in the two games they lost, E.T.H.S. would have had an un- defeated season. , dx: l Xl.- 22

With little experience on hand, Coach Bowers started the season with three seniors: Lyle McWilliams, John Malcom and Wilbur Hart- man. The remainder of the squad were under- classmen. These three seniors and Don Gordon, Monte Lindsey, Bill Poorbaugh, Bill Nohren, and Lloyd Raber gave some mighty fine accounts of themselves during the latter part of the season. The second team made up of underclassmen played five ball games all season, winning their share of games and improving all the way. The Frosh-Soph team, playing together for the first time after the regular season ended, par- ticipated in an eight-team invitational tourney at Lexington and came home with the second place trophy. In the inter-class tourney the Sophomores de- feated the Juniors 22 to 19 in the championship game after a torrid battle. Prospects are excep- tionally bright for the future at El Paso.
