Football Squad During the past football season at M. C. H. S. many great changes were made. All the games were played at night except the one with Murray, Ky., and consequently, Murray defeated Metroplois for the first time in three years, 20-0. Under the auspices and with the cooperation of the American Legion, the football field was equipped with giant flood lights, making it possible for Coach Schneeman’s Trojans to do away with the old custom of playing in the hot afternoon sun. Success wasn’t so sweet from the standpoint of games won, but from the experience and enthusiasm shown by the newcomers, a much stronger team will swing into action, wearing the red and white of M. C. H. S. next fall. Carterville defeated us 6-0 in the opening game. Then we battled Cairo to a 0-0 tie—this was really a great game, for both teams were in there fighting and giving their all. We were then defeated by a Murray strong Tiger eleven, but the following Friday the Trojans met and defeated Fornfelt, Mo. 13-12 in the greatest thriller of the entire season. Fornfelt presented one of the fastest all-around football teams to ever invade our local gridiron. Some excellent tackles by John R. Kidd and ball carrying by Zettler, the newly discovered full-back, saved the day for the red and white. Our next encounter was with Eldorado. They beat us 38-12 but only after one of the most grueling battles we encountered all season. The Eldorado lads were large and fast, they could really “sock ’em and rock ’em.’’ Anna beat us 21-12. Carmi beat us 6-0 to end the season. This was the last game for several of the regulars. The men who will graduate off of the squad this year are: John R. Kidd, Walter Gillespie, George Rice, Paul May, George Covington and James Fitzpatrick. These men deserve a great amount of credit for their participation and loyalty in athletics for their Alma Mater. Kidd. Rice and Gillespie are all three-letter men and will be missed greatly, as will all the others, when the next season for athletic contests rolls around. We wish them luck in whatever they do in the future. Page Tiventy-eight
