EOOMCLK To begin our gridiron season a squad of nineteen boys made the trip to Dt-motte where Kentland came out on the good side of a 20-7 score. Our Blue Devils staged an uprising in the second half to overcome the T-6 advantage held at the inter- mission by the Indians. Hassett scored 3 T.D.'s and Small 2 points. ln the next game the Kentland Blue Devils were upset by Wheatfield 39-20 in a hard fought game. lt seemed that the boys could not keep up the scor- ing pace set by Wheatfield. Hassett scored 2 T.D.'s. Flinn 1 T.D. and Small 2 points. The Kentland team went to Morocco where they went down to defeat 33-20. Kentland jumped to a 1-1--0 lead against the Beavers early in the game. ln the second half as at Wfheatfield, it seemed that Kentland could do nothing right and Morocco came from behind to disappoint the Kentland root- ers who at the half-time had high hopes of the boys winning the game. Herring scored 1 T.D., Flinn 1 T.lJ.. Hassett 1 T.D., Myers 1 point and Herring 1 point. A :le-termined squad of Kentland boys defeated Knox 13-12 in a very hard fought game.

Kentlanfl 4'l'llSllCll Rockville. The Devils got Off to an early lead when Bassett. on the first play from scrinnnage. took the ball and went all the way.

Hassett scored 1 T.lJ.. and Flinn 1 T.D. The Kentland Blue Devils went down to defeat., 52-30 on Covington's well lighted field. The Kent- land boys played a good game but they just lacked three or more points of having enough. lt seemed to he more of an offensive game with Covington's passing making the difference. Hassett scored 4 T.D.'s, Flinn 1 T.D., and Henry 1 T.D., Parr 1 T.D.. and Small 4 points. Kentland Blue Devils were defeated by the Mt. Ayr Airdales in a very hard fought game.

To wind up the season we went to Attica and again suffered a defeat. but the game was played much better than the scores indicate. Attica had several very lueky breaks out of which they made a large part of their score. It was a very hard fought game to the finish. Hassett scoring 1 T.D.. Myers 1 T.D.. Limp 1 T.D., Flinn 1 T.D., and Small L Points. The final score was 66-23. Page twenty-eight

amifg Zgvwgefdaf After a few weeks of practice the Blue Devils started their tenth season without a home floor. Our first foe was Mt. Ayr. The Devils played a fiire game but lost 47-42. After but four days of rest the Devils met Wadella and lost again 34-273. In this game the Devils just could not find the range. Then we journeyed to Rensselaer where we were met and defeated by a strong Bomber five 50-34. Our next foe was Morocco, the Devils put up a good fight, but the Beavers proved to be too hot as they won 41-24. After this game we got a new coach, Wayne Tur- pin, since Coach Smith took a new job at Terre Haute. Our first game under the new Coach was the powerful Brook Aces, and we lost our fifth straight, 58-32. Then at last we won our first game of the season by downing the Goodlancl Trojans 47-32. Our vic- tory string was extended to two in a row when we romped over Boswell 40-30 to close the 4-7 half of the schedule. Our first game in the new year was the Monon Railroaders. Monon was much too hot for us to handle and we lost 70-21. Still wondering what happened at Monon we went to meet Ambia. At intermission we were behind. but we came back to win 32-29. Next on our card was Brook and they handed us a 41-23 beating. Next was the 4-team tourney. For our first game we drew Goodland and we beat the Trojans for the second time this year 46-41. By winning we went to the finals but lost to Morocco 51-31. The next scheduled game was also Morocco and we lost again by almost the same score 51-33. Then came the Oxford Blue Devils and our Kentlanrl Blue Devils won 43-40, after trailing the whole first half. ln our next three outings we lost. The Fowler Bulldogs beat us 55-33. Earl Park's Cardinals took us into camp for the first time in years 44-41. ln the last scheduled game of the season we lost to Remington 51-44. For our first game of the sectional we drew Rensselaer. On Thursday, Feb. 26, Kentland met Rensselaer in the first game of the tourney. Rens- selaer jumped to an early lead, and held it through- out the whole game. Rensselaer out-scored K. H. S. 20-12 in 8 min. At intermission it was still the Bombers 41-30. ln the 3rd period Rensselaer wid- ened their lead to 53-38. ln the 4th quarter K. H. S. hit for only 2 points. while the red-hot Bomber five hit for 21 markers to make the final R. H. S. 74, Blue Devils 40. The Rensselaer game was the last for Hassett, Small, Henry, and Myers. The prospect of a good team next year is very well based because we have eight boys returning from the first 12. Vile the Senior class of 1943 hope that the team will have all the luck possible.
