RILEY FOCDTBALL SEASCDN, FALL 1936 E take great pleasure in presenting to you the football team of 1936 and their schedule. A more difficult and lengthy schedule has never been played. No team has ever encountered such great odds and terminated so victoriously, We salute this gallant group of men. Riley, 12: Fort Wayne. O: The Wild- cats' biggest scoring threats seem to be con- cealed in its forward wall which is also its best means of fortification. Bob Sweeney qualifies with the best of high school ball carriers. By recovering a blocked kick and racing eight yards for a score Oscar Hill- ring proved his ability. Morton Kimball also scores on a blocked kick. Riley, 19: Niles. O: With uniform strength on and above the gridiron Riley scores its second decisive victory. Joe Dom- nonovich blocks another kick which is good for six points. Dick 1-luckins is out- standing in his running and passing: cross- ing the goal line on one of his frequent jaunts. The final score was made in the third period by Sweeney: Good adding an extra point. Riley. 18: LaPorte, O: Riley's first con- ference opponent. Bill Wagner appears to be back in form on his quick kicking and also his ball carrying. After a long march Riley's second barrage is prevented by the end of the half. The scores were made by Wagner. Verink. and Ciood, respectively. Faulty place kicking displayed the Wild- cats' weakness to score points after touch- downs. Riley, 8: Hammond Tech. O: Riley looked ragged with only the breaks pre- venting trouble. Sweeney scores shortly after a long run by Tomsits. The only other score being made when Bill Berta blocked a kick with Hillring scoring a safety. There was a wonderful goalline stand by Riley in the fourth quarter. Riley, 7: Elkhart, O: The lone score was made by Sweeney, after a seventy-five yard run, accompanied with good block- ing. Tomsits appears to be another excel- lent back. The Poets looked good and undoubtedly out-played the Blue Ava- lanch. Domnonovich played a great game. Riley, 13: Goshen, 0: The quality of football played by the Wildcats was on a par with the previous week. Dick Ciood showed marvelous running ability by re- turning many of Goshen's fine kicks so that they did not prove advantageous for the Redskins, and also scoring the Hrst touchdown early in the second period. All of the remaining Riley threats to score, ex- cept when Wagner scored in the fourth quarter, proved useless because of offside penalties. Riley, O: Michigan City. 6: The foot- ball ability centered in the Riley squad bloomed. but simultaneously. did the breaks. The lmps scored in the closing minutes due primarily to a misplaced kick. The untimely Wildcat fumbles and inac- curate passes prove calamitous. Riley. 19: Washington, O: Through a dense fog Riley again displayed its capacity of football playing. The ball carrying of Good, Wagner, Sweeney, and 1-Iuckins added to Domnonovichs recovery of a fumble prove sufficient for three touch- downs and a place kick. The Wildcats' forward wall was impenetrable. Riley. 6: Central, 7: The Bruins were surpassed in every division of the game except the final score. A hard-hitting Wildcat eleven lost the ball again and again in the very shadows of the goal posts. Their lone tally came in the third period on a pass caught by Berta. Riley. O: Scott High. 14: Although statistics give the Wildcats another moral victory. we find them on the lower end of a very unbalanced scale when considering the score. Many unfortunate injuries pierced the Riley camp with the final out- come leaving them without a regular quar- terback. Huckins was appointed for the task and proved himself capable. Riley, 18: Mishawaka, 7: The Wild- cat eleven brought a fitting climax to their 1936 football season by trouncing the Cavemen. The Poets played an inspired brand of ball in this, their final game. Don Walden must be given attention for his outstanding playing at quarterback. Additional praise and credit must be given to Coaches Wood and Owen for their Hne work. ln conclusion, let us also applaud those boys who struggled with their masters, the varsity, but were in- capable of winning a letter.

HE deep bond of friendship between Jay Lallis and Emeri Raus had been shattered. Living up in the Alps near the small settlement of Zillis. Switzerland, they had been constant companions for the first sixteen years of their frolicsome boy- hoods. Now that they were of age to carry the mail to Ulstrich, a iierce rivalry had sprung up between them. Carrying the mail to Ulstrich was a very responsible task. It was necessary that the runner be well acquainted with the trail for it was very treacherous with its narrow ledges and the crevices which had to be jumped. Now, in the dead of winter, it was worse than ever. After much deliberation, Jay was given the coveted position. He performed his duties well, but it was rather disconcerting that for the first time in his life Emeri was not there to share his happiness. Both of the boys felt each other's absence, but they tried to believe it didn't matter. Late one afternoon a messenger from Ulstrich appeared at the home of the post- master saying. 'ASir. Ulstrich has not re- ceived today's mail. Could it be possible that Jay Lallis has met with misfortune? The postmaster knew that Jay's daring spirit might lead him to do almost any- thing. but he tried to conceal his alarm as he called for volunteer searchers. Just be- fore a blanket of darkness descended on the Alps, the searching parties returned. but Jay was still unaccounted for. The next morning Emeri set out for Zillis with the mail in his bag. Having the thought that Jay might possibly have been dashed to death on the rocks. he did not rejoice over his good fortune as much as he had done the night before. Yet-he was thrilled to think that he was actually carrying the mail. It was very exhilarating to be walking along in the crisp mountain air and view- ing the splendour of the dazzling snow covering the familiar Alpine peaks. Emeri felt so invigorated that he decided to try a new and shorter way to Zillis even though it was more difficult to travel. As is the custom of all Swiss boys, he was lustily yodeling when suddenly - could it be true? Was someone answering his yodel or were the echoes teasing him? ICY FRIENDSHIP He was right: there was a faint call for help which sounded from the depths be- low. Peering down he saw Jay, pleading for help. Searchers must have failed to look for him on this new trail. Emeri weighed the question in his mind. Jay was helpless, perhaps dying. Emeri wished he had never heard those cries for help. Then he could be the permanent run- ner from Zillis to Ulstrich and his con- science would not torment him if he let Jay lie there and die. But now - a sud- den contrast in feeling dawned upon him -now in the name of their old friendship he felt duty-bound to risk his own life in an effort to save Jay. Slowly and cautiously he felt his way down the embankment to Jay. The look Jay gave him was so full of gratitude that Emeri felt more than repaid for his trou- ble. Thinking quickly, he realized his Hngers were too cold to set Jay's broken leg and he had no matches to build a fire so he took off his own outer jacket and wrapped it about his friend. With an encouraging word, he sped away to the Ulstrich postmaster and soon was back with a group of guides to aid Jay. who was so exhausted he fell asleep while being carried home. After that, Emeri was repeatedly with Jay for the icy coolness between them had melted. Together they planned that as soon as Jay's broken leg was better they would both take the mail to Ulstrich. lt would be much more fun and not nearly so dangerous if both of them went. After Emeri had gone home one eve- ning. Jay confided to his mother. Lying there in all that agony seems like a horri- ble nightmare now, Mother, but the re- storation of our friendship is certainly worth it! -Elizabeth Kleinhans. Miss Kiel: You should have been here at 8:20. Sweeney: Why? What happened? 1 it it Miss Roys: How many lines can you read on that chart? Jean Dice: What chart? 22 HOOSIER POET
