Home. October 19. 1945. Girard 0: Fairview 7. The Tigers upset their traditional rivals today for the first time since 1941. The crowd of spectators watched this long-awaited game with great anxiety, as the Tigers scored in the early part of the first quarter and held the Yellow Iackets back through the remainder of the fast moving game. The scoring was done by Dick Walker, the Tigers' alert quarterback, who managed to score both the touchdown and the extra point with an end run. Home. October 24. 1945. Conneautville 0: Fairview 7. Another victory came today to the Tigers as they defeated Conneautville, a newcomer, by seven points. The first two quarters were a running battle between the two teams, with neither being able to score. ln the third quarter, however, Iohnny Bausch passed the ball to Dick Walker who carried it over for the only touchdown of the game. Weislogel secured the extra point with an end run. Away. November 2. 1945. Cambridge Springs 12: Fairview 34. The Tigers' 1945 football season came to a close today with the team defeating the Cambridge Springs team 35 to 12. The game was well played with both teams full of fight. The Tigers led throughout the game although in the last period t'he Spa let go with two surprising passes which tallied 12 points to their good. Iohnny Bausch made a fine sixty-five-yard dash, after intercepting a pass, and secured the final score of the game. The 1945 football season turned out to be quite successful for Coach Timmons and the Fairview Tigers although they were not able to win the championship. They have an up-and-coming group for next year which has the makings of C1 champion team. Good luck, fellows. -PAT ROBISON. The football season closed with the annual football banquet which was held in the school gymnasium and sponsored by the Parent Teachers Association, The Reverend Ivan O. Wilson gave the blessing. This was followed by Mr. Lawrence's leading the group in a few songs. A large part of the program, of course, was the meal served by the senior girls who brought in the delicious roast beef din- ner with all the trimmings. After this fine food, Mr. Lawrence gave everybody a chance to breathe as they sang more songs. Then our toastmaster, Dick Walker, introduced Mr. Bloom, our new principal, and Mr. Holland, president of the school board. After they had each spoken a few words, Mr. Bloom in turn introduced Dick Walker, the captain for 1945, who spoke for the squad. The co-captains for the following year, Wilbur Grubbs and Bill Weis- logel, both gave speeches, too. Following them was Coach Timmons who awarded football letters to: Richard Walker, Carl Guy, Edward Yarrington, Howard Robison, Harold Downey, Iohn Bausch, Wilbur Grubbs, Edward Leopold, Willard Weislogel, Robert Walker, Lewis Walter, Gerald McCray, Iohn Walker, Wayne Wilkins, David Yarrington, and Angelo Massello. After the presentation of the letters the banquet program was brought to a close by motion pictures: the first one on boxing, the second on bowlingg and the third on the Army and Navy game of 1943.

Again we were upset, this time on our own field with the Turtles topping us by eight points. Our only touchdown was scored by our fullback, Bill Weislogel, in the second quarter, Edinboro really got tough in the last half, and rallied with two touch- downs and extra points. Away. September 28, 1945. Waterford 0: Fairview 7.

BASKETBALL-Varsity . . . FIRST ROW, reading from left to right: lohn Walker, Iohn Bausch, Robert Walker, Richard Walker, Gerald McCray, Wilbur Cvrubbs, Harold Downey. SHCCCQND ROW: Coach Timmons, Robert Kuenzig, Wayne Wilkins, Ronald Stevenson, Carl uy. This season was not a very successful one for the Tiger Varsity, although it was very exciting, and we enjoyed playing every game. As we look back over it, we remember that the Edinboro game was very close, Fairview led all the way through the game until the last two minutes. Then Edinboro tied the score with but one minute left to play, The Tigers faded out in that last minute, and the game ended 24-20, After losing such a heartbreaker however, the Tigers made amends by winning a few games. Toward the end of the season we beat the Alumni 25-21. Howard Miller took a spill that evening, then got up and told Ierry McCroy it was illegal to trip, The next day the alumni fellows didn't feel very good, including the referee, Don l-lauck. The Tigers lost to West Springfield both times by only two points. At least they tried. And the Waterford game was very exciting if you cared for boxing and trip- ping, Almost every player on both teams got a punch in sometime or other. Walker and one of the Waterford players forgot about basketball and started boxing instead. We all had bruises the next day, But we won the game. The Bisons' hot ice broke a window in the hall before they ran for their bus. For the last game of the season the Tigers traveled to Girard to meet their old rivals, but after a hard fought battle the Yellow Iackets won. lerry McCray was the outstanding point getter this year with an average of 7.1 points per game. The other high averages were Captain Dick Walker, with 5.1, Wilbur Grubbs 4.8, and Bob Walker 4,l. Even though their big brothers didn't show up too well, the junior high players, in the majority of their games, came out on top. lt was wonderful to see those boys playing the way they did, since t-hey're our future Varsity players. High scorers were 1 Q 1 at lim luntunen with 8.5 points and Andy Massello with 5.1 points.
