Ellie 1911 Zilnnthall $2aann At the first of the season it would appear that the High School could be victorious over other schools. With nine of last years WTroysf, we were able to select a very vigorous lineup. This, with such veterans as Captain Strom'e, Flint, Harpole and Strome, and Tower as coach, would lead one to expect that we had a strong team. But, on account of lack of practice, the squad was not always able to stand in the front rank. The first game of the season was played with the Creswell High School on the home gridiron. The result was an overwhelm- ing defeat for our opponents. The next game was played at Brownsville, with the High School. The game was delayed somewhat because they wanted to play us with other than High School students. Although the game was finally played with a strong determination on both sides, and we lost by a large score. When the Eugene Second lined up on our held one week later, they looked like some of the iiBrownsville Farmers? But when the ball started We saw the mistake, and played with all the vigor we could muster up. They had us outclassed in almlost every form, and the game ended with a loss, but all were in good spirits. The last game of the season was played with Creswell High, at Creswell. When the team lined up for action they were in mind going to defeat us this time, but were swept off their feet by the concentrated rushes, and found a line that was impenetrable. The season closed with all the boys eligible under the High School rules, and we hope that in the future we will win back our lost laurels. Baskrtl s

Some doubt existed, however, for the greatest part of the team had to be developed from new men. Tracer and Hays were the Only 01d players, with Perman joining late in the season. The ball was started rolling on December 8, when the Smith- field Athletic Club met our boys in the Washburne rink. The game was played with a crushing defeat'for the club. The next game was also played with the Smithfield Athletic Club. The game was fast from start to finish, but the soothsayers were again-defeated, with a greater loss than before. On the 13th of January the High School team went to Harris- burg and played the Athletic Club of that place. But owing to the fact that their team was composed of large and experienced men, our boys were defeated. On January 20th, after a long drive, our team was defeated by the Brownsville High School. Owing to the small hall and Browns- ville,s determination to play a rough game, it made conditions worse for our team. When time was called for the hrst half the score was 3 to 16 in favor of Brownsville. But the last half was not so c-ne-sided as the first, for when the final whistle blew the score was 13 to 31 in favor of Brownsville. One of the fastest games of the season was played in the Wash- burne rink, when the Brownsville High School played the return game. The game was full of'snap and tire 211 the time, bUt 92
