Q09-'EPVVQ ll.: F-QD-U76 The Football Season The football season of 1916 was one of the most successful and glorious seasons ever experienced by Little Wolf High School. With seven of the old players back and with much promising material, Mr. Cardin made a team that can be ranked with the best ever produced by L. W. H. S. After considerable training under the guidance of Mr. Cardin, the first game was played with Menasha High School on the home gridiron. This proved an easy game for the locals as they won 99 to 0. The second game was played with Omro High School at Omro. This proved to be another easy game, for Manawa won by a score of 41 to 0. The third game was played with our old rivals, New London High School. The Manawa team, accompanied by numerous rooters, journeyed to New London. The field was in poor condition to play, the snow of the day previous making it a veritable mud-hole. Clean ,playing was the feature on both sides. Although the ball was in New London's territory during the entire game, Manawa was able to make only one touchdown, winning 6 to 0. The fourth and last game of the season was also played with New London on the home grounds before the largest crowd that ever witnessed a football game in Manawa. This was the hardest fought game of the season and was the only game in which Manawa was scored upon. The game ended 37 to 7 with Manawa on the long end of the score. This game ended the most successful season in the football annuals of the Little Wolf High School, and the next year's team look forward to the time when they can make as good a record. Seniors vs. Underclassmen Though the New London-Manawa football game was the last one of the regular football season, one other game was played which created a good deal of excitement. This game was between the Seniors and the Underclassmen and was played on Thanksgiving Day, the seniors winning by a score of 26 to 20. The first half ended 20 to 7 in favor of the Underclassmen, but in the last half the superior weight of the Seniors told and they won out by six points. Pagc Thirty-five
