REVIEW OF THE 1931 FOOTBALL SEASON. Because the 1930 Greater Lincoln League championship team was completely riddled by graduation, and because but four lettermen returned to the fold with which to form the team's nucleus, Coach Ralph Beechner, at the beginning of the 1931 football season, had the stupendous task of building a whole new grid machine out of inexperienced material. Even though the Jackson pigskin carriers had to fight the lack of veterans and the lack of experience, the 1931 season was a successful one: the Red and White winning five and tieing one of the nine scheduled contests. The Jackson gridsters met Wymore in the initial tilt of the season, and, an intercepted pass late in the game enabled the Critesmen to score a touchdown, thus making the final count a 6 to 6 tie. The next week, the heavy Bethany eleven, after a sustained goalward drive in the first period, crossed the final marker and kicked goal to emerge victorious by a 7 to 0 score. The Jackson Reserves, played the following week, were the first victims of the Jackson aerial attack. Jackson won 13 to 0. Wahoo was the second team to meet defeat at the hands of the Beechnermen, A hardfrunning at' tack turned the trick to the tune of 25 to 7. ' Jackson was victor in the 'next tilt played, with Cathedral, by a score of 14 to 7. The game was fea' tured by the last period rally staged by the Blue and White which netted them 7 points. Homecoming day at Jackson was somewhat of a jinx for the Jacksonites, as Coach Pop Klein's state champions ran wild in the first three cantos to score a 40 to O win. The Jackson defense tightened in the fourth period and held Crete scoreless. After the Crete disaster, the Beechnerites seemed to come to life, for a flashy passing attack sub' dued College View by a 27 to 7 count. The next Friday, Jackson helped to dedicate the new Platte River bridge by defeating Ashland 8 to 0. The Ashland contest was the only game played out of the city of Lincoln during the 1931 season. The traditional foe, Havelock, on a snowfswept field made their season successful by upsetting the Jacksonites 6 to O on Thanksgiving afternoon. The Havelock tussel was the last game for fourteen players, namely, Harry Kanzler, Amos, Hazelrigg, Duffy, Cheney, Myron Stith, Pester, Tracy, Craig, Wolf, Erixf son, Butler, Lindquist and Culbertson. In terminating this successful season the annual football banquet was held on Friday evening, De- cember 4, at the First M. E. Church. The high spot of the evening was the announcement of Geraldine Woodford as honorary captain of the 1931 football team, and the announcement of Wayne Banks as captainfelect for the coming season. Both announcements were made by Captain Harry Kanzler. Z ockson High School:-.Taco
