FOOTBALL 1937 Football continued on an upward trend, our season being a very successful one. Barring injuries it would have of been even more impressive, We were without the services of our all conference half back, Ralph Brand, for three games, and he was not at his best for two of the other games. Howard Hepler, was also an all conference selection, being picked at right end. Our Seasons Records Homer 6 Homer 19 Homer 32 Homer 13 Homer 6 Homer 7 Homer 7 Homer 6 Homer 25 Total 12l Letter Winners: Capt. Brand, Hepler, Baker, R. Smith, Barnes, Larder, Taylor, Amsler, Yost, R. Cook, B. Cook, Buskirk(Capt.Elect), S. Jarosz, Hakes, J. Jarosz, M. Smith, Linton, E. Bran1., Rising, and Grialey. Eleven of these boys are seniors, and although a great many of them were not regulars their loss is going to be greatly felt next Fall. The passing combination of Hepler to Brand, with which we got away with so much, probably will not be equalled in some years to come. Our football team gave the fams all they could ask for in power plays with Baker hitting the line, passes with Hepler, and Brand1s long spectacular runs. During the season, Capt. Brand ran four punts back for touchdowns. Short dashes by Pee Wee Smith, the giant of the back-field, weight 117 pounds in uniform and Junior Smith1s quarter back sneaks with Buck , R. Cook, and Gridley clearing the way were also power plays. Fuzzy Amsler, with his great defensive line play,was a stand out in the line. The Jarosz brothers gave fine demonstrations of end play. The utility player was Chas. Rising, having been used at End, Half-back, and Guard. The tfiole squad gave a very good demonstration and played good balL Despite the loss of these seniors we expect to have another good team next fall.

BASKETBALL The prospects at the beginning of the season were not very bright our having lost two players, one moving away and the other by ineligibility. This seemed to ruin any chances of a winning team. We started our season by losing our first two games, then they boys hit their stride and started hitting the basket. The highlight of the season was breaking the jinx Reading had held over Homer for twelve years. A great second half rally gave Homer a 20 to 23 victory. The next outstanding game was our return game with Quincy Quincy built up a 17 to 8 lead at the half only to have Homer come from behind and defeat them 26 to 23. Our second team compiled a great record in winning twelve out of 13 games, and as these boys are all under class men, we are expecting them to give a good account of themselves next season. Our records Homer 17 Quincy 19 Homer 21 Reading 26 Homer 38 Tekonsha 9 Homer 34 Litchfield 19 Homer 15 Athens 12 Homer 21 Sherwood 11 Homer 29 Reading 23 Homer 32 Litchfield 12 Homer 24 Bronson 27 Homer 26 Quincy 23 Homer 20 Athens 11 Homer 58 Tekonsha 29 Homer 23 Bronson 24 Total 355 Total 245 Letter Winners: Ralph Brand, Merrill Amsler, Ralph Smith, Jack Houghton Fred Heaton, Russell Maurer, Clarke Baker, and Richard Cook.
