i fi-M FOOTBALL fftftr THE game of Hobart ' s unopened football season was played on the Hobart field on October 18. Odds were one-hundred to one that Hobart would win this scrimmage. The cheering crowd and ideal fall weather added to the Brickies ' zest for victory. Captain Rose of the Varsity won the toss and chose to receive with Dommer, cap- tain of the Seniors, defending the east goal. Wilson, Senior powerhorse, kicked off. Rose received it on the 25 yard line and brought it up to the 30 yard stripe where he was pushed out of bounds. First down and ten to go for the Varsity. From a T form- ation they shifted to the left with Rose back; the run to the left was broken by Brooks and Laurie after a 3 yard gain. On the 4th down. Rose finally got away for 30 yards before Lyall Lamb nailed him from behind. First down and ten to go for the Varsity. After a shift to the right, Howell tried an off tackle play but accidently ran into Pavlakovic, Senior center. During the next two and a half quarters neither team could score, though the Varsity threatened the Senior goal several times. The Senior defense stiffened and staved off the threats. In the third quarter came the break that was needed by either team to win. Rose took the ball on a left end run and was finally forced out of bounds on the Senior 28 yard line. Unfortunately for the Seniors, the referee called piling and a fifteen yard penalty resulted, leaving the ball on the 12 yard line. Rose took the pigskin on a right end run and went over with half the Senior team on him. The try for the extra noint was unsuccessful just as the final gun sounded. It is the hope of the Seniors that they helped add to the confidence of next years ' varsity.

And when ol ' Hobart High School falls in line, We ' re gonna win that game another time. And for that dear old school we love so well. And for that old ball team we ' ll yell and yell and yelll We ' re gonna Fight, Fight, Fight for every score. We ' re gonna win that game and then some more. We ' re gonna roll old on the side, on the side. Roll! Roll ' . Roll! The Ho-Hi teams have always shown fighting spirit and good sportsmanship. These boys have displayed this in every way and we know if they continue to show such fine spirit, success will be theirs. The best of luck to all of you! Delos Brooks Booker ' s main ability in sports was track, for he had amazing speed. He won two majors in track, one each in foot- ball and in wrestling. His will to win and fighting spirit were quite evident in every sport in which he participated. Robert Wilson For a short fellow. Bob really had a lot of power. He played fullback on last years football team, receiving a major. Goggie showed his ability to play by picking up the extra yards needed for a first down. Richard Packham Dick proved that one doesn ' t have to be big to play football and play it well. He is small in stature, but made up for lack of weight and height with his aggress- ive play. Gunner received a minor in basketball and a major in football. He is going to be missed in next year ' s football line . Ben Pavlakovic Benny received major letters in both football and basketball. He was out- standing in team leadership and Ho-Hi is going to miss his stellar playing. Lyall Lamb Flash was like a streak running the 100 yard dash and in playing football he could really skirt around the ends. He was presented with a major in both track and football. Lyall is a rather quiet person who can ' t be bothered with women. James Larson Jimmy was on the football team for three years, during which time he received his numerals and a minor letter. He part- icipated in the Junior-Senior football game in the position of left end. Jim ' s a peppy, happy-go-lucky sort of a person.

In the senior football game John proved he could still play by stop- ping repeated center plunges through the seniors ' line. John Ronska John is a swell pal with a fighting spirit and the will to play his best in any game he entered. Without very much experience he proved to be an outstanding player in the senior game. Robe rt Keller During Killer ' s freshman and soph- omore years he received numerals and a minor letter. He played tackle in the last game of the class of ' 41. Bob ' s many friends like him because of the gen- uine sincerity of his manner. Charles Beckner Good natured, easy-going Chuck is formidable in size, but very friendly in manner. He played on the second team in football during his ninth and tenth grades. In the senior football game. Chuck took the positions of tackle and center. John Sapper Johnny was a participant in bas- ketball for only one year, receiving a minor letter. During the final foot- ball game he helped the seniors with his optimistic outlook and loyal support.
