Dropping, only one league fracas, and that to Clay Center, four time league champions, the Blue Jays completed the '33 football season and chalked up second place for them- :elves in the North Central Kansas League and finished the best season since '24, Although Junction lost only one league game, two losses were obtained in non-league frays. In those non-league games 'he Jays were overpowered by the Manhattan Wildcats, who outplayed them to the tune of a 12-6 victory. Wichita North was Junction's next Waterloo, when these Redskins, who, although out- nlayed in the first half by the Jays, by the rise of strong reserves caused Junction to surrender a 19-0 game. , The Other Side! Besides having an exciting time while playing' in the game itself, the boys had other experiences which were not accounted for in numerous sport articles, which followed each ,game in the Daily Union and the Blue Jay. This writer snooped around and about and found much concerning the inside story of a football h-ero's life. More fun! It seems as though it has always been a disputed fact as to what happens when ai team goes into a huddle. What do they talk about? It was finally determined after much inquiry that in a Blue Jay huddle Malcolm Tibbets and Emil Dalquest had lusty arguments as to which oi' the two had the larger feet. Well, there are four big points of argu- ment there! Boys Censor Risque Haprrenings. According to certain members of the team, Willard Jameson and George McKellar were considered the greatest lovers among them-oh! of course. outside the inevitabe Ed- wards! And did they have fun on these football trips that took them away from home to where people didn't know them! Oh. bov. oh, boy, oh, boy! Innumerabl-e things happened which cannot be printed, so members of the team state, but a few were finally censored and recounted, acoomanied by much mirth on the part of the participants. Alt Beloit, Bowles, Langvardt, and cute. J However, to go on with the story after being so rudely interrupt- ed, following the game, these three football heroes were sadly disappoint- ed for they had forgotten to bring along their tennis shoes and therefore could not display their skill to the young ladies. How heart rending! Score One for Tib. At Clay Cent-er, in a restaurant where the team went to eat their flll before the game, Malcolm Tibbets had a terrible tim-e of it as there was a blonde waitress who took a liking to 'tTib and got him all flustered. It is the Wichita trip, however, that will longest be remembered by the boys who went. Going down on the bus accompanied by Mr, Fletcher, Coach Shenk and Principal Vineyard, the boys became quite disturbed about the fact that the faculty occupied all the ,best seats and .gave the boys what remained. Their feelings on this subject became so aroused that they started their vocai apparatuses to working in order to torture th-e oth-er cruel occupants in the bus. These members of the faculty were not to be bother-ed. They had just heard the boys glee club the day bzforel Tut Peterson from all ob- servation was the best singer among' them. Paper Wads Plus Harmony? Finding their singing was of no avail, a. paper wad battle was next in line. Things were going pretty well until Coach Sh-efnk got swatted on the back of the neck and then and there the paper wad shooting' was quelled. If Snyder's big feet hadn't been so situated in the line of his cours-e, Crabtree says he would have made his first touchdown. During the game Let Bowles came pretty near being taken out when he told Tut to step in one of the opponent's face the next time he fell down. It seems as though Let's ir-e was aroused at something or other and he told this same player upon whose countenance he had wished Tut's size thirteen foot, to meet him after the game and perhaps they might be able to come to some agreement. Let declares he show-ed up at the appointed place following the game but that the other fellow didn't. At Chapman during the annual Irish-Jay Turkey day round-up, the Tibbets, McKellar, and Jameson each had four pictures taken in their football garb when Harry Trimble came are-und for pictures for the Pow Wow. It can readily be unedrstood why McKellar and Jameson would request four-.but is Malcolm hiding something? Must be that blonde wait- ress in Clay Center! Coach Saves the Day. At the football banquet a grand and glorious time was had. The only incident that seemed to detract from it was the fact that Tut Peterson, who is, according to himself, the best after dinner speaker on the team, was not allowed to make the address of the evening. Coach defer- red because he feared Tut would talk too long! 'Twas rumored that Rex Gish pulled this one after the banquet. The car was nearing town. Rex pond-ers quietly and then asks- I shay where are we? We are between seventh and eighth streets, says the driver. Never mind the details, says Rex, What town is this? Fairy tales record th-e daring deeds of errant knights and history recalls the valor of our fallen brave -so shall we recall the adventurous exploits of our brave and errant, reckless, gallant warriors, whose time of peace has come and who, now in retrospect, the past recall. The record of games won and lost, although of first rank, is not the true gauge of Shenk's Wonder Boys fEds. Note: They wondered what it was all about when they started and how they could have dropped the Clay Center contest when they nnishedb. Jays Trounne Miltonvale The first game, with Miltonvale, was irregular in interest, lacking the smoothing influence of experience, the Jamesons drives on spinners, the Peterson plunges of brilliance. The Jays won 6-0. a little bruised. a little wiser. Said the Daily Union: Although scoring only one touch- down during the game, the Junction team showed much unexpected power, both offensively and defensively. ' t'The score came early in the sec- ond quarter. Wtih the ball on their 48-yard line the Jays started their drive. Riley made a '7-yard gain over guard and McKellar broke off tackle

The heat bothered the players of the teams and substitutions were frequent in the lineups. Nolan Day was the only player to stay in the game the full time Beloit Falls Victim. Beloit, a perrenial Blue Jay early season victim, was next on the sche- dule and in a ragged game held the Blu-e Jays to six points. Coach Shenk. who seems as dexterous in his juggl- ing of material into winning combi- nations as with tne Indian clubs made frequent changes-each an im- provement made. The power that was yet to assert itself was good enough to win a slow eqame. Peterson's legs were not lim- bered up yet, Jameson's neckties were not clicking. Ftupe look-ed like a bale of hay that had been dropped on the field by mistake, and all of the bays were running back five yards to find a soft place to land. But better davs were at hand. The Union commented thus- The Junction Cty high school football team defeated the Beloit team in a hard fought game yester- day afternoon, 6-0. The only Jay score came early in the first quarter ..... Beloit momentarily fumbled the ball and being' too late to kick attemped to pass. The pass was knocked down by a Junction player and the Jays took possession of the ball on the 32 yard stripe. Peterson gained 13 yards on two off tackle plays for a first down. Jameson added four more through the cent-er of the line. Peterson made two more, and on the next play Langvardt took the ball on a reverse play around left end to the one-half yard line. Peterson smashed tne center of the Beloit line for the remaining dis- tance and the only score of the gime. Earl Crabtree, sub wingoack, made several nice gains in the game. On one occasion he carried the ball for a 20-yard gain around the Beloit end. What! No Drug Store Heroes? A football is a queer shaped object being streamlined on both ends to such a point that to prognosticate its bounce upon contact with the terra firma is quite a perplexing problem. To play safe on this point a code Knot N. Rf. A.l has been de- vised whereby the safety man merely holds his hand high in the air in- dicating to his onrushing opponent that he has his fingers crossed Icom- monly called Kings Xl and that he thqreby promises not to run with said sphere, if only the aforemen- tioned onrushing' players allow it to come into his fthe safety'sJ posses- sion. This procedure. although quite sim- ple, never seemed to find its way into the Five-Second Plan of any of our backstops. It robbed them of a chance to become drug store heroes so they deemed it cowardly to signal for a fair catch. As a result Junction was robbed of the ball on several occasions deep in her own territory. These mistakes cost many potential touchdowns. Mad scrambles for the ball with enemy players all around seemed foolhardy, so, late in the season, the ball was left to bounce on its uneven ways and Blue Jays fans once more got their jangled nerves tapologies to Cam-elsj and tempers under control. The Concordia game was hard fought and the brilliant i?l work of Mr. Cables and the quarterback service of one Mr. Edwards from the sidclines went for naught. This Mr. Edwards has the very annoying habit of running out to the edge of the field to help his boys out of ruts. But even his presence didn't bother the Jays who moved on to win a thrilling 6-0 victory, their third in as many stsrts. We quote the press: The J. C. high scnool Blue Jays, football representatives of the local schcol, showed unexpected power in defeating a supposedly strong Con- cordia eleven in yesterdays game here 6-0. In the final period the team was well cn its way for n score after three spectacular runs by Jameson, McKellar, and Langvardt, but the backs got the wrong signal and lost 27 yards. The Jays score came early in the
