ASSISTANT FOOTBALL COACH PINKALL Ailhur Pinkall, one of Midland's own football products, having played on the championship team of 1922. assisted Coach Catlin in the coaching of the football squad. Pinkall, was said to be one of the most powerful tackles to have ever played on a Midland team. His knowledge of the duties of a lineman and how this may be instilled into the varsity men, made Midland's line one of the best in the conference. Pinkall’s work was very satisfactory and because of his keeping the line in such good shape, Coach Catlin was able to work much more with the backfield.

The Warriors outplayed the Panthers eleven first clowns to two in the last half hut they could not push over another score. The game resulted in a tie. Midland 6. York 6. Midland 44 IVapne 0 In a game quite similar to the Dana episode of some weeks before, the Warriors defeated the Wayne Normalites by a very large score. It seems that the two War- rior hack field aces. “Marty and “Punk. decided that they would be impolite to the guests and let them look at the back of a Warrior jersey for a while. When the smoke of the battle, or rather the snow, cleared away. Midland had scored forty-four points and had held it?- opponents scoreless. The game was played on a snow covered field, which was quite slick. The playing was neither very in- teresting nor very thrilling. Score. Midland II. Wayne 0. Midland 12 Chadron 52 Journeying, via bus. into Northwestern Nebraska. Midland was defeated by Chad- ron on Thanksgiving Day in tin final game of the season. Garvin. Chadron backfield star, was the outstanding player of the game, making twenty-four points for his school. F.ven though the Warriors were defeated, they were the first team to cross the Kagles’ goal line in three years. “Marty and “Swede both turning the trick. The game was also Midland's worst defeat in nine years, but every Midland player seemed to think that the Kagles deserved every score that they made. The final score was Midland 12. Chadron 52.
