Hardin and Garland formed the backbone for the whole team at their guard positions. Gus Moran stepped into a regular forward berth along- side of Harry Stephenson, who took over the forward position in the second semester. Bernard -lohnson, Blumer, Cunningham, Boles, Moore, Sloan, Riddle, Morgerson, and Kelley made up the squad. The Blue Devils got off to a fine start by winning the holiday tourney at the university held in December. They won this event by defeating Mt. Sterling, 19-16, after winning from a favored Danville five in the first game of the event. Henry Clay then lost to Manual in three overtime periods at Louisville. They won their next three games from Georgetown, Mt.

1 Ill it LETTERM Vanaman personally conducted the last touchdown for the Blue and Gold when he carried the ball 59 yards in five tries to score in the last quarter. Mt. Sterling's lone touchdown came as the Devils had a punt blocked which rolled behind their goal and was recovered by a Trojan player. E N In the final game of the campaign, Henry Clay rose to real heights when they outplayed and outfooted a favored Somerset eleven to gain a scoreless tie. This tilt gave the Lexington boys second place in the C. K. C., and Frankfort was declared the winner. Incidentally, Frankfort was the only team in the conference to best the Devils, although they were tied by Somerset. At the end of the season an all C. K. C. eleven was chosen and Garland was placed at end and Robinson at guard on this team. Jumping Joe Vanamen and Joe Stafford were honored with second team choices in the backfield. Gar- land also made the first team of an all-Kentucky team chosen at the close of high school warfare throughout the state. The season was successful, and the most encouraging part of all is the fact that a number of the boys will be back this coming football year. Boles, Proc- tor, Johnson, Wilfred, Levy and a number of others will again take their places in the lineup next fall. L xwknxclf Gnu.

Then came a defeat from Paris, which marked the only C. K. C. game lost by the Devils during the year. The boys got back into their winning stride when they won from Georgetown for the second time and continued to win against Madison High, Kava- naugh, Frankfort, Paris and Somerset in succession. Winning the Somerset game gave the Devils the C. K. C. championship in basket- ball. It marked the first time that a Henry Clay team won the championship despite the fact that they have come very close on more than one occasion. The Devils won the district tourney held at the University by conquering Wilmore 28-26. The next week-end .they were elim- inated in the finals of the regional at Richmond. Frankfort beat them 24-20, and thus closed a successful chapter in basketball at Henry Clay.
