BLQOD, SWEAT, AND are all reminders of the football season. With eleven lettermen returning, the prospects were brighter this year than during any of the past few years. We all thought we could win a few games this year, but injuries plagued the team so much that they never seemed to get going. Even though losing every game, LeRoy had many loyal followers to let them know that the school and community were behind them. It was a dark and dreary season for the boys, so probably the less said about it the better, but there are a few highlights we would like to mention. CERRO GORDO-A 40-yard run by Lyle Whitehouse was the only threat we made against this hard running outfit. ATWOOD-A few passes from Hillard to Bruning looked good but were of no avail without blocking and tackling. MONTICELLO-A pretty good game with much improvement shown in tackling but the score didn't show it. WATSEKA- Boys played a good first half holding their foes to seven points but our opponents got away the third period. This was an extravagant game for we lost two of the better players-Kenny Robbins suffering a broken arm and Dwayne Red Bailey, a broken foot. These two were added to the injured list which already consisted of Ewing Smith, who had a broken foot, and Captain Hillard, with a cut eye. ARCOLA--We scored two heart- breaking touchdowns, only to have them both called back for offside pen- alties. Captain Hillard ran the first one and passed to Simmons for the other. GIBSON CITY-Rainy weather and a muddy fieldg that was the story in a nutshell. We could make no yardage on the ground so Hillard took to the air for passes to Simmons, Bruning, and Wheeler who gained some yardage but not enough. RANTOUL-Scored our first touchdown of the year against one of the better teams in this part of the state. The touch- down climaxed a 30-yard drive in which Hill and Hillard carried the ball through the center line. Hillard took the ball over the goal only to fumble, but Ray O'Neal recovered in the end zone. FARMER CITY-Don Morrisey of Farmer City was the hero of this game. He blocked a punt and recovered it in the end zone for a T. D. and later in the same quarter recovered a fum- ble in the end zone for another T. D. The two teams fought on even terms throughout the remainder of thegame with LeRoy playing its best game of the year. EL PASO-It looked mighty hopeful for a few minutes when we took the lead 6-0 in the first quarter. Hillard passed to Simmons, who lateraled to Wirt, and he in turn made a sensational 75-yard run for the touchdown. Our boys' hopes were soon dashed in the second quarter, and so ended the season. Let's see you junior and sophomore fellas do some- thing about this record. V Seventeen
