vga J, , QW THE CEDAR- OF I-WENIY safari FOCTBALL FOOTBALL SQUAD Top Rau-Thompson, Turner, Cronkhite, VVarner, Day, Calder, Dostal .lliddle Rofu'-Urban, McClung, Maresh, Kriz, Cummins, Groth Bottom Rofw-Shinn, Fitzpatrick, Baker, Vail, Miller The Tigers have pulled through another typical season with a clear claim to the llid-lVest Championship. By defeating the champions of Illinois, South Dakota, and the best in Iowa, this claim was established. This team of IQ26 will long be remem- bered by students of VVashington High School. Smashing elusive backs, a hard charg- ing line of giants, a team of vicious tacklers and perfect blockers all went together to make what is said by some of the well known football critics to be the best in the history of YVashington High. The line was an insurmountable bulwark and had but one touchdown scored around or through it during the season. This was at Council Bluffs and was the result of a series of adverse circumstances. A fast passing attack of Cum- mins to Groth or Baker, coupled with the smashing of Kriz, and the shifty running of Groth and llaresh, baffled all opponents. The main mode of point gathering, how- ever, was the passing attack. By this method four out of five touchdowns were made. Thus the Tigers set up a record that is unique in itself and is rivaled by very few col- leges or universities. That is the completion of sixty-three out of eighty-one attempts at passes. The highlight of the season was the lloline game. hloline, undefeated, untied, unscored on, larger than Cedar Rapids, and having the best team in their history, was defeated thirty-three to nothing. This record was closely seconded by the Sioux Fall's game, where outweighed fifteen pounds to the man, the Tigers captured a twenty to three victory. Page One Hundred
