ZAPTAIN 'l'A'rm Beset by hard luck and injuries, Latin's football team played through a fairly good, though not highly successful season. The final tabulation found two ties, one victory, and two defeats marked upon the team's record. l'larvard, an annual rival, did not play due to a rain storm which made conditions impossible for the game. The loss of the team's two regular tackles after playing the Milwaukee University School, our second game, proved to be the turning point of the season. That contest saw the final services of Chuck Ford and Captain Bob Tate. The opening game found an over-confident Latin eleven held in reserve by a stubborn Todd team. With the exception of one scoring threat by each team the game was a constant dog-fight around mid-field and ended in a scoreless tie. Larry Ely was lost for the season as a result ofa sprained ankle obtained in this contest. The most brilliant game was, of course, against the Milwaukee University School, which we won by the score of 'l9 to O. This victory broke the jinx University had held over Latin since the beginning of our football relations with them several years ago. With an effective passing and running attack, balanced by a steady defense, Latin completely outplayed the Wisconsin team. Discouraged by the loss of several players because of injuries, the team was mauled by a heavy and hard-running Milwaukee Country Day team. The score was 33-O. The high point of the season for hard luck was reached in the Parker game, which ended in a tie. After running up a 'IQ-O lead at half-time, Latin saw its lead dwindle because of its inability to cope with Parkerls baffling running attack. Then, in the final few minutes, we started a desperate passing attack which carried us to our opponents' Q0 yard line, only to have the time-keepers gun end the struggle. The final game ofthe season saw a hard-fighting Latin team hold a much heavier North Shore outfit to a scoreless tie until the last quarter, when Mechem drove over for six points and a victory. We made several threats, once penetrating within the enemy's Q0 yard line, but we were unable to push over a score. Though graduation will take many of the regulars this year, we are confident that Coach Rokusek will do his usual fine job next year with the material on hand. 61

The heavies, with a good squad on paper, were unable to organize a smoothly working team until the Final games of the season. Composed of Zeigler, Ely, 'late l-lightower, Dato, and Burton as regulars, the heavies accounted for lour victories and eight defeats. Hard luclc played an important part againstl.atin throughout the season, especially in the games lost to North Shore and Todd. The chief reasons for the team's inability to worlc effectively were laclc of unity and scoring punch. Breezing through their ames at the beginning of the year, the lights seemed to be headed ?or an undefeated season. Upon nearing their goal, however, bad breaks and injuries caused them to drop their three Final tilts. With Blossom, Crane, Eells, l-lollister, and Postell in starting roles, the team cliclced off nine straight before losing to Christian. Outstanding in individual scoring was Blossom, who garnered a total of 'l54 points for the season. The loss of Crane and Postell near the end of the season was, without a doubt, the difference between victory and defeat in the final games. l'lEAVlES G FG FT P TP Hightower ... .... 12 'l5 10 Q5 4O Zeaglef .... .... 1 o 14 5 9 33 Ely ....., ....
