FOOTBALL The 1941 school year saw some pretty good football. Due to financial difficulties, the football team was un- able to take any trip, but the games that were played on the old gridiron were exciting. Our first game was Lincoln versus the Alumni. We lost this game but the loss only built up a stronger morale within the team. The next game against Lexington was a Blue Tiger victory. The next two games, with Columbia and Sumner, brought the following scores: Columbia 9 — Lincoln 7; Sumner 6 — Lincoln 0.
