Henry, Long, McClure, Persons, Wiley, Johnson, Martin, L. Evans, Worford. In the football season of l937, forty-five of the schools huskiest, and most outstanding boys, reported for practice. As the practice season pro- gressed the boys showed excellent football ability. The season opened at Eureka with the Crimson Tornadoes. Much to the surprise of the crowd, the Tigers were defeated by a score of 7-O. The next game was with Hartford here. The Tigers came back with a strong defense and showed their football proclivities by defeating them l2-O. The oncoming game was with Gridley. The boys felt they had a score to even with the boys from Gridley for the game the year before. Much to their regret they lost a game 12-6. Their next game was at Florence. According was about 14 points better than our boysg but with hard football the boys lost by only one touchdown. The next here. With all the breaks going the other way the boys very hard fought to dope Florence fighting and clean game was Altoona lost 7-O. The next week they went to Madison. This game seemed as though it was going to be a win for Hamiltong but in the last half the breaks started against us and we lost by two scratched touchdowns. The following game the boys seemed to have regained their old fighting spirit to defeat Leon, a strong Butler County team 54-O. The ensuing week the boys journeyed to Council Grove, leaders in their league. They were doped to win by 20 points at the least, but by running the right plays at the right time and by playing good clean football the boys tied the score 7-7. By this time we felt we were ready for the strong Emporia team but to our surprise we were beaten 26-O--thus ending our football schedule. Seven veterans of the 1956 squad answered the 1937 call to the pigskin, and the remainder of the squad was made up of tenderfoot material. Seven veterans sound like a wealth of material until it is discovered that some fill duplicate positions, and few had experienced such key positions as end and backfield. So Coach Bender commenced the 1937 season. And though our opponents boast the long end cf the score in seven out of nine games, the Black and orange eleven were spoken of as a dangerous foe and were frequent- ly commended for their clean and aggressive fighting. The following men lettered this year: Keith Bonczkowski CCaptainJ: Howard H Black CCaptainJg Earnest Foster, Everett Cannong Richard Merrickg arold Cartwrightg Morris Ratcliffg Elver Staufferg Richard Behmerg LeRoy Covertg Glenn Dawsong Billy Henryg Dallas Sandersong Dale Wallaceg and Don Brown. The following boys made provisional letters this year: James Barnes, George Rinker, Kenneth Bonczkowski, Francis.Evans, Charles Covert, Leond Jones, Raymond Kerr, and Harry Sherman.
