GARFIELD GLEANER 23 THE GARFIELD ATHLETIC TEAM In spite of the fact that they were organ- ized late in the season, the Garfield football team was a decided success. Of the five games that were played, only one was lost. Under the able coaching of Jack Murphy, the team was able to hold its own with men of superior strength. Much disappointement was felt by the men because of the inability to schedule games so late in the season. Even though half of the team is going on to High School there will remain at Garfield some men to carry on the club. Saturday, November 18, the team traveled north to the Tamalpais Academy. The game played on Saturday was one of the fairest games Garfield played. The lineup for the game was: Captain, Jack Murphy, John Traylor, Mason Stevick, Ralph Kellner, Arthur Clapp, Norman Brangwin, Jimmie Norton, Walter Young, Robei’t Nation, Jack Gardner, Bayard Rucker, Malcolm Sharpe, Burnham Handling, Eldred Cooney, Alfred Anderson. — Robert Nation, H9. VOLLEY BALL After a series of interclass games the H9 team was chosen as the representative of Garfield in volley ball. The team was fast and capable and played with the well-known Garfield spirit. It played two games away from school. The first took place at Bur- bank. The game was snappy and was won by Garfield in straight sets. The next game was played at Garfield against Edison, an ancient rival. The Garfield boys went up against unexpected strength and it was only by fighting that Garfield came out on the long end of the score. The third and final game was played with Willard at Willard. The boys were a little anxious and a bit too sure. After two hard games Willard had the league won. — Arthur Clapp H9.
