Starting out under the handicap of insufficient l1l8.tC1'i'al, the team had to be augmentcdg but even then there were only enough candidates for two squads. Considering the number of games won or lost, Hartwell did not fare so badly, winning three, losing four, and tyinsg one. After a few weeks of intensive drilling, the Orange and Black,', on Sep- tember twcntieth, traveled to Newport, where they played a scoreless tie with Bellevue. Hartwell had many chances to score, but the necessary punch to put across a marker seemed to be lacking. On October third, Hartwell was defeated by Western Hills. Outweighed and lacking any reserve strength, Hartwell lost, 19-6, but the winning team H61

did not have all the glory, for Hartwell,s line held the Maroon onslaught on Hartwell's own goal line for four downs. and a few minutes later held their opponents to four downs on the three-yard line. No wonder Coach Varrel- mann said that this game was one of the best defensive games of the season. On October eleventh, Hartwell defeated Reading in a loosely played con- test by a 7-0 score. The Hartwell boys traveled to Oxford, Ohio, October eleventh, where they played the strong McGuffey team. The game seemed to be all Hartwell,s, but within the final minutes of play, 'Captain Haffey suffered an injury which so upset the morale of the team that McGuFfey won 12-7. Under a barrage of touchdowns, Hartwell, playing a sloppy game, met defeat at the hands of O. BI. I. by a 33-7 score. The game with VVyoming, October thirtieth. was the most-talked-of game of t.he year. Hartwell was out to avenge the defeat of the previous year, and an intense feeling was running high. The Hartwell team seemed 'to have been made of all-stars, for each player exerted himself to the utmost to make Hartwell victorious. The backfield functioned smoothly, the line held as if it were a brick wall, and both co-operated in such a manner that, after the gridiron battle was o-ver, Hartwell was supreme in a 31-26 victory. The game with Highland High School resulted in a 50-0 defeat for Hart- well. Outweighed, outclassed, and outplayed, Hartwell did not have a chance. The only consolation that Hartwell had was that Highlands had run rough- shod over all other opposition by some such score. The final game of the season was played against VValnut Hills, on No- vember twenty-first. Five seniors. playing their last football for Hartwell, determined to make the game the most successful of all. They did, with a 32-9 score. l47l
