This year has been the most successful season enjoyed by the school since l932, when a strong F. M. A. eleven won five games and lost two in competition with college Freshmen and '4Big Ten opponents. A glance at the past campaigns reveals that the Colden Wave gridiron forces rolled over four opponents, were beaten twice, and tied once in their hard, seven-game sched- ule. Included among the soldiers' foes were two members of Florida's Big Tenn foot- ball conference, an organization composed of the State's largest schools. The remainder of the schedule consisted of games with teams which are members of the Southwest and Central Florida Conferences. Although composed of 'gminor leaguei' members, these two circuits rate high in the estimation of the larger schools of the State, and are never regarded by them as being easy games. When the initial football practice of the year was called on September 6th, eight veterans reported to Coach Joseph. The returning lettermen were George Anderson and Joe Bradham, guards, Bill McQueen, centerg Jack Wiley and J. B. Moody, ends, Page 92
