FIIDTBALL At the annual banquet, letters were presented to those eligible. Those playing enough were: Capt. Dick Minnis, Bob Cook, Dick Hunsinger, Dick Heckert, Bob Howald, Joe Kirkpatrick, Willis Hefner, Stewart Magaw, Bill Manrod, Paul Lewis, Bill Pheanis, Tom Sizelove, Gibson Tharp, Andy Caldwell, Eddie Cunningham, Lyle Davis, Paul Hendricks, George Hunsinger, Bob Johns- ton, Malcolm Phipps, Erwin Russell, Bob Spenceley, Malcolm Teetzel, Basil Ward, John Young, John Denni- son, Charles Fuller, and Jim Spenceley. Some of these boys, however, were inelegible for letters, having receiv- ed them last year. George Hunsinger was elected cap- tain of next year's squad, and he hopes, as does Coach Ewbank, that they will have as good a team then as they had this year. The team will be weakened considerably by the graduation of Joe Kirkpatrick, Bill Pheanis, Bob Howald, Tom Sizelove, Bill Manrod, Dick Heckert, Stew- art Magaw, Dick Hunsinger, Bob Cook, Paul Lewis, Gib- son Tharp, Willis Hefner, and Capt. Dick Minnis, but we all hope the coming boys will be able to fill in.

F 0 0 T B A L L THE CHAMPS, McGuffey opened its football season with the an- nual game under the lights against Hamilton Catholic High. Our boys showed promise by trouncing the Ham- ilton boys 27 to 0 after a fairly easy game. Following this, they travelled to Monroe and came back with a 13 to 0 victory. North College Hill was next to fall to Mc- Guffey's onslaught, 12 to 6. The next feather in our cap was a dandy win over Richmond to the tune of 39 to 0 after a hard fought game. Came following, a game with Fairfield, who now lies crushed in a 45 to 7 defeat. One of the best games of the year was formed when Hartwell, a class A school, invaded Oxford. Both teams scored in the first quarter, and then they settled down to a midfield battle until the fourth quarter when McGuffey finally managed to push over a touchdown. Hartwell couldn't recover, and the game ended with McGuffey in the lead 14 to 7. The boys were now beginning to se an undefeat- ed season. In the next game, our boys pushed over Dayton, Ky. 21 to 0 in a very good game. Thence came the day for the game with Norwood to finish the season. Ewbank's boys, with a glint in their eyes, travelled to Norwood, and returned with an 18 to 0 scalp, the Little Southwestern League Championship, and an undefeated season.

Any team with only three losses to seventeen wins deserves credit. Dur- ing the season, McGuffey lost only to Monroe, Aurora, and Fairfield. The list of wins includes Camden, Celina, Brownsville, Wyoming, Dayton Stivers, Walnut Hills, Liberty, Eaton, College Corner, North College Hill, St. Xavier, Hamilton Catholic, Dayton Wilbur Wright, Springfield, Alumni, and Piqua. Some of these games were rather one- sided, but two of them gave the boys a real tussle. These two were with Day- ton Stivers and College Corner. In the first, the lead see-sawed back and forth throughout the whole game. With only
