SPORTS FOOTBALL The 1942-43 Jay football squad was composed al- most entirely of inexperienced players that had nev- er pleyed football to a great extnnt. There were a few lettermen from the squad of last year, but most of the team was composed of players from the Simon- sen gridiron of last year. Coach Reeves, squad started the year off with a bang defeating the Missouri School for the Deaf 13-0 in a game played here. This game was climaxed by a ninety-five yard run by guard Buddy Keane on an intercepted lateral late in the fourth quarter. Jim Woodland had crossed the double line for the home team at the last of the third quarter. The extra point was made on a plunge over the M.S.D. line. The Jays, after heving their baptism of fire with the 13-0 Victory over M.S.D., journeyed to Ful- ton to play the highly touted and much praised Ful- ton Hornets.The Hornets had twenty-one lettermen from last year, and had ten of their first string men back with them; The Jays fought gamely, but that was not enough, and the Galloway County boys won 18-0. The third game was with the traditional rivals, the Kewpies of Columbia. This game wes virtually handed to the Kewpies on a silver platter. Time and again the Jays were penalized when they had made a good gain. The lone score of the game was made in the second quarter on a long pass that traveled thir- ty-nine yards and over the Jefferson City goal line. The extra point was made by a pass. In the fourth quarter Bohner ran forty-three yards for what appear- ed to be a touchdown, but it was celled back on a penalty for clipping. As the game ended, the Jays were setting up a touchdown deep in Columbia terri- torv. The Jays journeyed to Sedalia for their next game, and with their former coach, Johnny Adams, on the sidelines the Jays lost on a very wet field 25-0.
