As a consequence, it was necessary for him to immediately begin the herculian task of rebuilding from raw material, such a team as would be a credit to the honor and standing of the school. Laboring und-er every possible handicap, Coach Crowe was able to put on the field a team which made quite a creditable showing. The schedule called for eight games and when Ca 'ai the season finally closed, it was found that only two opponents were able to lower the colors of the purple and gold. Orville Loyer, a veteran lineman, showed himself a very capable captain, lending to the team those qualities which experience and proven ability make so necessary to an organization playing with untried material. Urban Meier, one of the outstanding players in the backfield, was later elected captain of the 1930 squad which promises to do great things, in that nine of the regular first team will be playing again next year.

To do what is in their power and to exercise to the best of their knowledge that all important quality of school spirit, causes them to create for them- selves certain duties which are for the betterment of the school. Such was the reason for the creating of the Student Athletic Committee. During one of the f senior class meetings, such an organization was suggested, and ten members of the senior class were selected to act in the capacity of representatives at all the athletic contests in which the Redeemer Lion was a participant. The duties of this group of spirited students were to make themselves capable assistants to the student athletic manager in selling and taking tickets at the gate, seeing to the orderliness of the crowds. and reporting the results of the various games to the Redeemer Weekly and other papers in the city. Richard Kuhn proved to be a very capable and efficient manager. His assistance to the coach and members of the various teams is deserving of the highest praise. Arthur Hagan was chairman of the board and a most con- scientious reporter. R. KUHN, Student Manager Sitting: Left to right. T. Lentes, H. Joly. P. Stelfes, P. Sommers, J. Augenslein. Standing: A.

Whether their . opponents were entrenched in first or last place, the result was always a tie. However, although the team did not win the champioship, they preserved at least one bright heri- tage of former years-they finished the league race without dropping a game. In the Catholic Central fracas the Lions gave the first indication of their propensity for participating in tie games. When hostilities ceased neither team had tallied and our first tie game of the season was entered on the record books. The worst weather of the season was encountered in the De La Salle contest. A heavy downpour, which endured for several days, had transformed the playing field into a veritable quagmire. Both teams were content to punt and wait for the breaks which never came. Another scoreless tie for Redeemer. In the greatest upset of the year, Redeemer was held even by St. Theresa's. Unable to penetrate the Vernor aggregation's strong forward wall, the Pirates placed their trust on Bill Hayes' educated toe. Neither team counted until the third quarter, when one of the Saint's flank-men grabbed a pass and dashed nearly sixty yards for a touchdown. With characteristic courage and tenacity the losing gridders fought back and, by the end of the third quarter, they evened the score. During the last period the Lions had several chances to win, but between penalties and over-eagerness they fumbled them all. For the third time in five games the great cat finished on equal terms with its opponents. A week later Redeemer clashed with St. Joseph, the pace-makers of the senior divi- sion. Undaunted by their rivals' impressive record, the west-siders battled with grim de- termination. Despite a merciless battering the Lions seemed to gro-w in power and fury as the struggle wore on and the end of the game found them carrying the fight to the vaunted St. Joe's eleven in the latter's territory. Thus to their already ample store the I-Iaberdashersn added another tie, a scoreless tie. While the gridders did not attain the Catholic title, they nevertheless deserved to rank with the great teams of the past because of their stout hearts. After two dishearten- ing reverses, the Lions came back and battled on even terms with the mighty St. Joseph's eleven through four bruising periods. That required more than power or luck or finesse: it required courage. 3 A Qull'nnllilllllllllllunm.. ........ -MJT! .. i 'ill A. A in i f . '. sun ....-: H ' 1' T111 if f 7 gQfTf Page Seventy-eight
