After several weeks of intensive training, Coach Beechner assembled his squad for a journey to Harvard. Due to stiff opposition and inexperience, the red and white eleven dropped this game by taking the short end of a 7-0 count. During the next two weeks, the team showed considerable improvement in its two home games when it won from Bethany and Ashland by the scores of 19-9 and 53-0 respectively. The next game proved disastrous to the team in the tilt with Crete. Four backfield men were laid out and Jackson lost 26-0. Jackson walked away with the next game when with a substitute backfield, Wahoo was beaten by a 65-0 score. If The next two games were both G. L. L. tilts with Lincoln Reserves and College View. The flashy Beechner eleven won both games by scores of 40-6 and 20-0 respectively. In the game played on Armistice Day, the rivalry between Havelock and Jackson was revived. In this game, Jackson won the G. L. L. championship by trimming Havelock 20-0. Wymore was the next victim. After a hard fought battle in the mud, Jackson emerged with a 12-7 victory. The wind-up of the season came on Turkey Day when Jackson journeyed to Auburn to triumph in a 14-6 decision. On Friday, December 12, the 1930 season was brought to a close with the annual foot- ball banquet. Letters were awarded to twenty-one players. The high spot of the evening was the announcement that Virginia Kean had been elected Honorary Captain of the 1930 team, and Harry Kanzler had been chosen Captain-elect for the coming season. or Jmcmson Hlcsn-I PAGE TWENTY-FOUR

Forward L. Guard Proclaimed by Nebraska sports critics as the team possessing the best fighting spirit of any five in the state, Jackson High's basketeers fought against ineligibility and staleness to win their way to the state tourney semi-finals for the second successive season, after coming through with the Wesleyan Regional championship for the fourth time in five years. Havelock went down to defeat three times and Wesleyan High's cagers tasted Jackson's dust twice by comfortable margins, but the high spot of the schedule was an unexpected 26-16 drubbing doled out to Wymore on the losers' court. Throughout the season, opposing guards took special no- tice of Foster's left handed toss from the corner, which, if ever allowed to run free, spelled potential loss for said opponents. Another vet from last season was Max Jordan, guard, who sank the midcourt try which ended the greatest rally in state tourney history when Hastings lost to Jackson 17-16, in the quarter-finals. Ray Bowen, center, was the other senior com- petitor and his biggest contribution also came against Hastings when he sank six points in a. little over a minute. Another senior, Charles Batchelder, held down a guard post until he moved to Texas at mid-year time. Morse Hazel- rigg then took over Charles' job and developed into an all-state guard. Harry Kanzler, junior, was forward and his best game was against College View when, in the last quarter, he tallied ten points. Three promising subs were Sherman Elrod, sopho- more forwardg Howard Japs, junior forward, and Lester Amos, junior guard. A very reputable record was made by Coach Beechner in putting a strong quintet in the field in his first year of coach- ing at Jackson. , RALPH BEECHNER, Coach iomcnson Hes:-I PAGE WENTY-FIVE
