We were unfortunate, however, in that eight of the squad graduated in January, and several others Of the stronger players were out at critical times which possibly cost us an excellent chance to win the Junior Hi Championship. Averaging 20 points a game, the team proved as strong a scoring team as we have ever had, but the scoring was not confined to one or two as formerly. Lester proved the best, getting 107 points, Winsett 70, Stewart 70, Mc' Clellan 44, Pearson 23. Their opponents scored 238 points. SEASON'S RECORD H. H. 48 . . . Warner 13 H. H. 15 . . . Warner 11 H.

Hnootball FOOTBALL BEGAN AT HIGHLAND HEIGHTS in the fall of 1932 when we had a brief, peppy, but dis- astrous season in which Highland scored only two touchdowns. These were in the last game with Howard School to get a tie and save us from being absolutely skunked. Our second team of last fall, though it did not show any more pep, at least had better luck. Mr. Hurt proved a spirited and ellicient coach and the team improved steadily as the season progressed. We were blanked only once in seven games, and the boys got hot enough in the last two games to score well earned Vic' tories. Willie Griffith was perhaps the outstanding player throughout the season, with Ray Strain, J. B. Law, Edley Jarreld, and Harry House showing up well. If Algy Gonzales, a red- topped halffpint pepper shaker had had as much size as racket, he would have made a first class linesman. The record for the season was: H. H. 2 . . . . E. N. 26 H.

After the third game, however, the boys began to click and by the end of the season had developed into the prettiest working team Highland ever turned out. It was also the best scoring team we ever had, piling up 362 points for an average of 28 each game, while holding their opponents to 262 points or an average of 20. The scoring was well distributed, every player proving an able shot. James Ward led with 77 points, followed by Cartwright with 58, Griiiith, 51, jarreld, 47, and Gray, 37. SEASON'S RECORD H.
