M Male High has probably the finest gym in the state, and one of the best high school gyms that will be found any- where, The class of '39 2 is proud that this building was dedicated during our final year at Male. To us, this addition won't be just the gym, but rather we will know it as White - Blandford Field House. The White - Blandford Field House will seat over four thousand spectators, This great seating capacity has naturally attracted several maior college games. We are sorry we just have pic- tures of the gym while it was being built, but that's the way most of the Class of '39l,'2 re- member it. We still wonder how they got that steam-shovel OUT.

November ll-On a very ideal day for football the Bengal Tiger of St. Xavier dared to challenge the overwhelming power of the Purple and Cold of Male's Bulldog. The de- fense power of St. Xavier held very well until a minute of play was left, and Male proceeded to score. A rushing play by Kuhn and conversion by Kaelin and a pass play to Taylor produced the score. The score, I3-O. November l8-The powerful team of Bosse High from Evans- ville paid us a visit, and for a while had us in hot water. At the half it was l2-O in favor of the visitors. Compton's hav- ing had an accident the day before the game was a set back to the team, but the team functioned very well without him. However when he entered the game he added the extra power to conquer the Bosse team by 33-l9. November 30-About 2100 at Manual Stadium two great teams clashed. Male kicked off, the ball rolled over the goal, and Captain Koshewa fell on the ball for a Touchdown. The score after a minute of play-Male 6, Manual O. Compton made' the placement. Both teams fought hard the rest of the game. Manual scored twice in the first half, the score being l3-7. Manual scored on a running play and Male scored on a pass play from Kuhn to Brunig. After the final gun sounded, the score, in the favor of Manual, 20-l3. BASKETBALL With the opening of Male's new Gymnasium many fellows turned out for the first meeting of basketball.
