As soon as each knew his respective duties, he was informed to get his copy in as soon as possible.

They worked hard to send the best MIR-OR ever had whizzing to the presses as soon as possible so as to be back sooner than last year.

I FIRST ROW: L. Meyer, D. Meyer, Turner, Brainard, Medberry, D. Harris, G. Livingood. SECOND ROW: R. Muchow, Plaht, L. Christofferson, Palmer, Suckow, C. Schultz, N. Peterson, Gericke. THIRD ROW: Coach Blackman, E. Severn, Hanson, Hughes, J. Martins, B. Douglass, C. Peake, C. Hath. W goofgaff The lack of experienced players handicapped this year's team. Gene Medberry rated a place on the first all conference team and Cloy Schultz made the second team. Medberry placed honor- able mention on the all-state team, also. Postville started the football season out by los- ing to Sumner in a close contest. The Pirates led the first three quarters with the Aces intercepting a pass to win the game lZ-7 in the last few minutes of play. At West Union, the Pirates battled fiercely only to bow, 20-6. Journeying to New Hampton without the aid of a regular back, Luther Suckow, the Pirates suf- fered a l4-0 beating. The game was played in a downpour of rain. i Contesting with 3 backs out of action the Pi- rates played host to Maynard and were taken for a 25-0 defeat with Maynard using aerial passes for most gains. The Pirates were trounced by Waukon 24-6 at the homecoming game. The visitors scored twice in the first period, but the Pirates retaliated with a touchdown in the second. The scoring in the last half by Waukon, who tallied two more times. Defending their conference lead, the Elkader Warriors defeated Postville on their home field, 38-0. The game, however, was much more evenly matched than the score indicated. The Pirates took their first victory by downing a scrappy Fayette eleven, 9 to 6. Medberry tackled a' Fayette man behind their goal, giving Postville. two points. The Peacocks intercepted a Postville pass and ran some sixty yards for a score. In the final periodthe Pirates crossed the goal, and also made the extra point. Playing for the first timethis new team, the Pirates lost the Cresco game in a fight, Z0-0.
