THE BOOSTER 1920-21 Masoma Club 1920-21 Roines Club

Page 25 text:

THE BOOSTER weeks in preparation for the Tech game. Technical annexed this game 24-13. Despite this win, Technical had no better claims to the State Championship than did Manual for the reason that Manual had defeated Sheridan, to which Tech ' s team was forced to yield. On the next Sat- urday the team traveled to Brazil where it administered a sound 28-14 drubbing to the opponents. Then came the big game of the year. Thir- teen years had elapsed since Manual and Shortridge had played their last football game, but although Short- ridge won thirteen years before, Man- ual showed its superiority in every stage of the game, defeating the Blue and Whites 21-0. The Shortridge game was our last home game but on the Saturday be- fore Thanksgiving the team traveled to Clinton, who held a strong claim on the state championship. Our team held them to a 13-13 tie during the first half, but in the final periods the Clinton boys broke loose and scored 20 points, winning the game 33-13. This ended a football season which, considering the lack of experience, was very successful. While Manual had scored only 102 points to their opponents 156. she, nevertheless, had gained an even break in the eight games and had won 4 and lost 3, in the contests with Indiana schools. In the fight for the city championship Manual was second in games won with an average of .500 and tied for first place in points scored with a total of 34. She also placed five men out of fifteen on the All-city team. These stars were: Wundram, tackle; York, guard; Reichel, center; and Harmeson and Wertz, half-backs. The score of each of the games follows: Manual Wabash 30. Manual 14 Marion 0. Manual Louisville 48. Manual 13 Sheridan 7. Manual 13 Technical 24. Manual 28 Brazil 14. Manual 21 Shortridge 0. Manual 13 Clinton 33. Total, Manual 102 Opponents 156. BASKETBALL. Before the football season was end- ed, basketball came in, and, as the en- tire first team was playing football, the quintet that played and defeated Southport in the first game was made up of players who now form the sec- ond team. The second game was played by what now comprises the State Squad. This game was at Frank- fort and resulted in a 26-12 defeat. The score was due to poor team work and inability to work together. Then followed a couple of victories, Col- umbus going down to the count of 23-7 and Russelville losing a pretty game, 24-15. Then Seymour took our measure in a close game, 22-19. Since then we have won games from such teams as Crawfordsville, Cumberland, Ben Davis and Wabash. We also de- feated the Alumni team, which was made up of stars who left our school recently. So far, Manual has played thirteen games, winning eight and losing five. The worst defeat of the year was the second game played. The next worse was the last game with Valley Mills, in which we were set down to the score of 26 to 13. Of the five games lost, one was lost by a one point margin while a second went by three points; and a third by four. The team this year is much the same as that of last year with the two Harmesons, Dutch Wertz, Dog Sum- mers and Mat Geisler left over, while Joe Prout, Dutch Behrent and Lou Reichel are new additions to the first team. The scores of the games played up to the time of writing are: Manual 17 Manual 12 Manual 23 Manual 24 Manual 19 Manual 31 Manual 23 Manual 26 Manual 46 Manual 36 Manual 38 Manual 22 Manual 13 Southport 12. Frankfort 26. Columbus 7. Russellville 15. Seymour 22. Crawfordsville Shelby ville 24. Valley Mills 30. Cumberland 8. Alumni 18. Wabash 18. Ben Davis 21. Valley Mills 26. 16. Total, Manual 330 Opponents 243. SOCIETY NOTES. John Elstrod visited school yester- day. Al.berta Bernd only had four dozen pictures made. Bob Uhl — Well, these pictures don ' t compliment me any. It has been announced that Emil Harmeson will represent the January ' 21 class at the next Olympic meet.
