Size Speed Help Red Devils Apprehensive could best describe Coach Zecca’s thoughts for the upcoming season. There were several holes to be filled, but things looked good. The line had size, and the backs had speed. August practices showed areas of need. Several freshmen were brought up. Early games against non-conference teams were a proving ground. Inexperience began to show as we beat only Marseilles. During the conference season, things began to fall into place; and the Demons tied Princeton, lost to Rock Falls and Kewanee in close games, and beat Mendota and Rochelle. Several members of the squad showed promise to help the Red Devils next year. Although our record was 3-4-1, the player development was successful.

Reaction of the line to Mark Wiltse’s touchdown reflects the close game with Rochelle Hubs. 22 SOPHOMORE FOOTBALL

Demons Play Halloween Tricks A surprise greeted the group of freshmen as they reported for August practices. Hard work had been planned by Coach Boroski and Coach Becker. Bumps and bruises became a part of the learning experience. The season began on a successful note with a 20-20 tie with MDR. There were some problems, and work was begun to correct them. The next four weeks could best be described as a nightmare. The Red and White lost to Mendota, Kewanee, Amboy, and Rochelle. Several of the games were close until the fourth quarter. On Halloween the Demons played trick-treat and came away with the best of both defeating Sandwich 47-8. The twenty squad members had shown a desire to learn and improve. Teamwork finally paid off. The record of 1-4-2 was not indicative of the lessons learned. This will come as sophomores and varsity in the years to come.
