f ' 'Y N it-wotbail When the foot ball season of 1922 began, prospects were bright- er than ever before. with only one man lost through graduation. Paul Gross, quarter back and a member of two championship teams, was hired as coach and wfork began at once The first game of the season was with the mighty Ness City team who had only lost two garres in a period of two years. ,This ended in a defeat for La Crosse. The following Friday our ancient rival visited our city and retired with the short end of a score of 13 to 12. Don Kyle. star end and half back, received a pass and ran 60 yards for a touch-down in the last few minutes of play. On Home Coming Day Hoisington High trounced the La Crosse boys to the tune of 41 to 13. The game was played in the rrud and rain and the superior weight of the Hoisington boys could not bestop- ped. On the next Friday Mr-Cracken was played on the La Crosse field and was easily defeated bv a score of 26 to 6. The first game away from horre was l 'l3,V'3d at Burdette where the La Crosse team 'fist a hard fought battle bv the score of 12 to 6. Hays Highs gave the home team another defeat on the La Crosse field by a score of 12 to 0. Pansom High School was easilv defeated by the La Crosse team the next Friday, by a score of FR to 0. The game was featured bv the stellar performance of Alfred Turner who gained ground constantly. and was a demon at spiking. On Thanksgiving Day the team iourneyed to Bison accompani- ed by hundreds of loyal supporters and it was estimated that the larg- est crowd that ever attended the annual Turkey Battle was present. The game was fought from start to finish. neither team having any ad- vantage. and both teams playing in the best of form. The first three ouarters were played in the center of the field. being a punting dual be- tween Kvle of La Crosse, and Cooley of Bison. and only until the fourth ffnarter did either team corre in scoring distance. In this nuarter La Crosse carried the ball to the 3 yard line and were unable to go any farther. The game ended with the score of 0 to 0. , The entire season was in all, a lucky season as only a few minor iniurios were received bv members of the team. The members of the foot ball squad were royally entertained by tl'c ladies oif the town at a banfwet at which the soason's football passed into history. 0 Tia Crosse ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.,. ,,,,, , ,, Ness City ,,,,,,,,,,,,.,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,, A 0 Hr-re T a Crosse ...... ..,.....,,,... ......, 1 3 Pison ,.,.,,,,.,,,,,. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 1 2 Were La Crosse ,,.,.. .,,..... 1 3 Hosington ,A 41 Hnre La Crosse ...... ...,.... 2 6 McCracken ,,,,. 6 Here la Crosse ....,, ,,,,, 6 Pvirdette 19 There La fll JSS6 ...... ...... 0 Hays City ,,,,,, 12 Here La Crosse ,..... .,.... 6 6 Pansom ,,,,, 0 Here La Crosse ...... ,,,,,, 0 Bison ,,.,,, 0 There L2 CYOSSG ...... ....... 1 24 Opponents 23
