V ! f'fC3YCif'v?1i.ifiQIf .. ?5ifZf3?fS7, My Q,-0,189 ails ifeazfiaavge 51: aj Three cars were chartered and a journey of some 19 miles over roads which were a reproach to civilization, with very, very little dinner, served to work against our l. chances of success. Arriving at Eureka about the middle of the afternoon the squad h dressed in such haste that within 25 minutes after their arrival the game was on. , Eureka drew first blood with a touchdown in the Hrst quarter. Hedding retaliated y with a neat drop kick by Hartman, but was unable to stop the heavy Eureka team during the first half. The last half told a different story. Our men, after getting iii acclimated to their new situation, began to make things warm for the enemy. Hed- l ding came dangerously near to scoring on several occasions. The final score was 3-5 to 3 in Eurekais favor, yet we can't help feeling that with better luck in traveling the score would have been considerably different. fi On November 13, our warriors did battle with the hosts from Carthage and a L snappy game was witnessed by all present. The feature of the game was VVright's . touchdown after recovering a fumble. The teams were evenly matched and but for this one play the game might have ended in a tie score. We are proud to report. l however, that the final score was 6 to 0 in our favor. ll, R+' On Thanksgiving Day the team with a band of rooters journeyed to Macomb Nfl and put the finishing touches on the 1920 foot ball season. First quarter, Hedding iv' 0, Normal 0. Second frame, Hedding 6, Normal 7. Third session the same. and the final round, Hedding 25, Normal 7. Going into the last quarter of the last game of if the season with the score standing 7 to 6 against them, the boys staged the greatest climax of a foot ball season ever seen by Hedding fans. The ball had been advanced W' to scoring distance at the last of the preceding quarter and after scoring one touch- L down the team broke loose and scored two more for good measure. It was an ideal foot ball day and such an ideal Hnish to the season left a pleasant taste in the mouth lv of all who wear the Orange and Blue. The victorykwas celebrated by holding the election. The happy selection of M Jean Thompson as captain for the coming year was made. l a Considering whom we played this year we feel that the season was a success in many ways. Moreover, prospects for next year are bright. Of the eleven letter men. if' only Keithley and Obenshain graduate this year and while the loss of these men will 'QQ' be keenly felt, next fall will see Hartman, VVright, Decker, Snedaker. Torreyson, Wilcox, Ferris, Clark and Thompson back in harness and practically all of Hedding's it reserve men of this year will be back making it interesting for all who question their rights to places on the first team. YVe feel that our team deserves a lot of credit for pl the showing made. The team made a record for itself as a bunch of clean players and this really is the end toward which athletics should lead. Qi And an account of the 1920 season would not be complete without mentioning the work of the second team which worked diligently throughout the season to put the varsity in shape. In this connection a lot of credit is due Bell. Moore. Meythaler. if Simpkins, Wlieeler, Graham, Palmer, Hardin. Smith, and the others of the squad who toiled faithfully throughout the season.
