ir Sir WMM! The 1944 Hopkinsville Tigers brought another Western Ken- tucky Conference championship to the city as the Orange and Black rolled over all conference foes while losing only to Paducah. The Tigers made a record of 9 victories and 1 loss. Many an opponent who was beaten in 1943 looked for revenge in 1944 because the Tigers lost the entire forward wall except for one tackle. However, the Tiger line improved rapidly and were soon mowing down the opposition so that the Tiger backfield could run up touchdown after touchdown. The Tigers amassed a total of 304 points against 77 for the enemy. The Tigers sported the best won-lost record in the state. They were rated the fourth best team in the state according to the Litken- house rating. Their only deficit came at the hands of the Paducah Tornado. Tackle and Co-Captain George Claiborne won state acclaim as he was one of the four boys to be selected on the All-Kentucky team for the second time. Claiborne deserved the honors bestowed upon him, for his play merited such an award. The Tigers lose twelve lettermen from this year's squad but the departing players should and will leave behind them a heritage of high morale and a desire to win that undoubtedly should make the '45 Tigers more than troublesome to their opponents. The Tigers' 1944 record follows: Tigers Portland. Tenn.
