FOCTBALL REVIEW When Coach Peg Wilson announced the opening of football prac- tice this year, about 40 boys answered his call. From these he had four lettermen from last year around which to build his team. The rest were mostly last year's re- serve squad and freshmen. Although the team lost 7 of its 10 games, it won from its traditional rivals, North Canton and Minerva, thus making the season successful. After having been defeated in its first four games, the squad finally won from North Canton, 7-0. The defeats in order were Brewster, 14-0, East Palestine, 28-23 Carrollton, 19-7 5 and Lisbon, tri-county champs, 31-7. Peters accounted for the three touchdowns made by Louisville. Following the North Canton game, the team dropped three more: this time to Boardman, 12-05 Columbiana, 7-03 and Leetonia, 14-0. The boys then traveled to Minerva for their annual gameand came out on top by an 8-0 score. Cat- cott ran a kickoff back 60 yards for Louisvi1le's touchdown. In the closing game of the season, they defeated Sebring, 7-0, when Capt. Brown scored on a line plunge. COACH WILSON c1935 Page fweizty-eight

.THE MIRROR' FOOTBALL LETTERMEN OF 1934 EARL BROWN '35 Captain Brownie's fiery leadership was the inspiration for the team. He was one of the best blockers in the tri-county. His driving tackles and line plunges made him feared by all opposition. His shoes will be hard to fill next year. DALE BACHTEL '35 Dale was the stalwart player of our line. His aggressiveness made him hard to take out . He was in every play, didn't know when he was licked, and was one of the best guards ever turned out by L. H. S. JAMES PETERS '35 Jimmy was the scoring threat of this year's team. He could hit the line or skirt the ends. His open-field running was brilliant to watch. He could kick and pass with the best of them. A real triple-threat man! JOSEPH SMITH '35 Joe played his same hard-fighting brand of ball the whole year. He could snag passes like nobody's business . His defensive playing was marvelous, but his season was ended in the North Canton game when his arm was broken. WILLIAM BURGER '35 Bill was shifted from an end to a tackle post at the beginning of the year and played his new position like a veteran. Bill was responsible for the two safeties chalked up in our favor this year. He had a knack of covering fumbles. RICHARD CATCOTT '35 Catty , although light, had the ability to take it and, besides being a sure tackler, was one of the trickiest and brainiest fellows on the team. He had the uncanny ability of picking holes in the line no matter how small they were. RALPH LUTZ '36 Lutzie was the kind of player on whom one could depend. He played his steady hard-charging game throughout the season. He was one of the hardest-hitting tacklers on the squad. We expect great things from this boy next year. HOWARD WILSON '36 Peg is what football players call a heady center . His ever-alert- ness saved us from being scored on many a time. He would repeatedly pull out of the line and intercept passes. An elbow injury hampered him throughout the season. RAYMOND MCINTEE '36 When Rip was in there playing his tackle position, he presented a barrier that was the next thing to impossible for the opposition to break through. One try at Rip's side of the line and our opponents always found it useless to try again. ' 1935? Page thirty
