Back Recoiling Bulldogs Catapult to Third Place Opening the season with back-to-back shutout de- feats, the future looked grim for the grappling Wythe squad. In the third outing, however, Manchester fell prey to the recoiling Bulldog assault. With rekindled spirit, the Bulldog eleven met and tamed two more teams and tied another before trounc- ing Thomas Jefferson. This victory pushed the Bulldogs up into third place. By defeating Huguenot, the mighty Bulldogs, having completed their climb to the top of the district stand- ings, held first place in the Central District. The season- ending contest with Hermitage followed, which proved to be the most crucial clash of the season. A victory would have sewn up the title; a defeat would have yielded second or even third place. The Bulldogs fought with inspired fervor, but were outmanned and out- played by an effective Panther attack. bard, Fred Hoppe.

Giving Stalwartness Reaps Victory Hands that give stalwartness in SPORTS gather victory. Evidences of this giving were sweat that poured from fatigued bodies, drill that synchronized strategic plays, practices that ended simultaneously with the day, skill that developed from determination and resolution. All this, and then they ran just one more lap. The return gift was made important by an intangible—caring, a facet of the Bulldog spirit. They found that the harder the conflict the more satisfying the triumph. After an easy victory, the Bulldogs smiled. After an upset or a close victory, occasionally, they cried. Always, they gained pride from playing a well-fought game. Thus the Bulldogs never lost. 125
