During the first of the l939 football sea- son only a small number of aspirants turn- ed out to seek berths on the team. Despite the small size of the squad, practice con- .inued and by the time of the first game, the turnout had increased twofold. No overwhelming victories were scored in the first few encounters, but the Tiger team usually gained more yardage and made more first downs than its opponents. Dur- ing the latter part of the season, a marked improvement was evident with the team finding the push necessary to cross the goal line. The improvement on timing and fundamentals can be attributed only to good coaching. As a result of the keen sense of cooperation and fellowship on the gridiron the team did everything as one complete solid unit, accepting, with equal aplomb, the defeats and victories.
