FOCTBALL This year we had a football team that we can well be proud of. During the present season, our Cougars have risen from the cellar position, which they held last year, to second place which they share with Patterson High. Much of this success comes from the constant training which the boys received under the direction of Coach David Ruby, and also from the spirit shown by the school as a whole. This season, out of a total of nine games played, we won five, lost two, and tied two. The team also ran up a total of 74 points while they gave away only 46 points. The results of this year's schedule are as follows: Escalon 13 Linden .......... ,.. O Escalon ......., .....,. T uolumne ...,... O Escalon Ceres ........ ...... 3 3 Escalon ........ ....... H ughson ...... 6 Escalon ........ .... H ilmar ...... O Escalon Patterson ...... O Escalon Modesto ...... O Escalon ........ .... R ipon ..... 7 Escalon Alumni ............................,. O 'I'he outstanding players of this year were Al Sorrenti, halfbackp Wallace Nel- son, center: Iohn Carrico, guardg and Harold Ellis, end. The first three boys men- tioned also placed on the All-League team in their respective positions. The team will suffer a great loss by losing through graduation such lettermen as Willie Mini, Al Sorrenti, Harold Ellis, Ed Long, Iohn Carrico, and Carl Gushe. For the first time, a Pee-Wee team was organized this year. This team con- sisted of boys who weighed from 130 pounds down. The boys played three games, and managed to win one by a score of 6 to 0. The stalwarts of the team were Harry Taylor and Allen Rollins. The varsity played their most spectacular game of the year against Hughson. The score was 6 to 0 in favor of Hughson with five minutes to play. Our boys then opened up with a series of passes, and scored two touchdowns thus winning the game. The hardest fought game was the last game of the season. lt was played against Escalon's greatest rival, Ripon and a victory would have brought Escalon undisputed possession of second place in the league. The game was a close one, but in the end the Ripon boys proved superior. Next year's prospects for a winning team look good, although there will be a small loss in weight. We hope the boys will make up this loss by fighting hard. 442329
