Wendell Center Sessoms Back Shumate Center THE 1937 The pigskin parade of 1937 was featured by two (2) wins and seven (7) losses. Showing great prom- ise in defeating a strong Appalachian State Teach- ers' College. 26 to 7, in a pre-season game, the future looked bright for the Wasp eleven. On Sep- tember the 18th Emory opened its regular schedule against South Carolina. After playing superb ball the first half of the game the Wasps were finally overpowered and lost by the score of 45 to 6. The next contest was with Elon College. Again the Wasps were forced to take a short end of a 24 to nothing score. Taylor End Williams Center Gabbert

WASPS On October the first the local qridstors journeyed to Newport Nows and engaged the Shipbuilders in a nocturnal contest. The luckless Emoryites were subjected to their third straight defeat by the count of seven to nothing. The Newberry Indians were the next foe of the local eleven. Literally playing in a sea of mud the Wasps turned in a six to nothing victory. The King Tornado, Emory's traditional rival, was met October 16th in Bristol. To the great dis- appointment of its supporters the Emory team was swept from the path of the Tornado, 26 to 0.
