But it was not until after the last football game that Coach Romans called oilicial basketball practice and to that first call over forty boys responded. This was the largest squad in the history of the school and until it was cut to eighteen, two shifts had to be run in order to handle the group. Floyd Olson was the only letter man available from the previous year, but using him as a nucleus and Bunk Hampton, Joe Binge, Scar Nelson, Don Larson, Lorney BISHOP HILL EDITION Larson, Russ Johnson, and lVIartin Appell, Coach Romans produced as successful a team as Galva has had for several years. The record of victories during the season itself was not spectacular, but the llflaize and Blue placed second in the Dis- trict Tournament, losing the final game in a hair-raising battle. The hopes of the next two years lie in the present second team which, so far, has given every indi- cation of having what it takes. If this squad works hard they should make basketball history for Galva High. 2

FCDCDTBALI. KNOXVILLE 12-GALVA 0 Although Galva outplayed them in the first half Knoxville came from the rest period to shove the ball across the goal line twice. Ray Smith broke his leg in the Hrst quarter. VVYOMING 6-GALVA 6 Galva's scoring punch was lacking in the first home game. They came within scoring distance several times but had to be satisfied with one touchdown. Wyoming scored in the first period, Galva in the last. GENESEO 38-GALVA 6 Too much speed. Galva lost heavily on Geneseois field in their first night game. Galva's touch-- down came in the final quarter. BRADFOR D 384-GALVA 7 The Maize and Blue were unable to cope with the heavy Bradford team or stop the power plays. They lost heavily, Bradford scoring at will. ABINGDON 141-GALVA 0 After a stellar performance in the first half, the locals tired and they lost a close game to Abingdon who won 1-1--0. The line, however, al- THOR SUMMARY lowed less than 100 yards gain but Abingdon's timely scoring won for them. ROOSEVELT MILITARY ACADEMY 18-GALVA O The Cadets, helped by long runs, won on a muddy field from Galva. The team, however, showed more pep and fight in this game, playing almost equal in ground gained. WETHERSFIELD 37-GALVA 0 Galva had an off day, Wethers- field scoring easily throughout the game. Galva came close to scoring after an 811-yard punt by Hampton but their attack fell short. K INGMAN 12-GALVA O Galva came back strong to put up a game struggle with the heavier Peoria team. VVitl1 a few breaks the score may have been different. . TOULON 12-GALVA O An evenly matched contest during the first half, but Toulon scored in the third and fourth quarters to win the first game from the Maize and lilue since 1929. The game saw eight seniors parade with the pigskin for the last time 1936 GALAHI 'iii fi' 9' it iii ll? 'ivy j K -n
