A-7 Jub- lsRAsaAR1 i PARRISH .- vu up if-- PARSONS 1955 Football Season When the first day of September came, Minerals young football squad consisting of thirty-nine players, reported for the first practice. After three weeks of hard practice, the team was ready for action. The first game saw the young Wildcats, on a muddy night, roll on to victory over the Galena eleven, 13-0. With the first game under their belt the Wild- cats met Erie in the first league action of the 53 season The Mineral squad went on to an easy vic tory that night by the score of 39 0 When the third week of the gridiron season came the question was Can Mineral win again? The Oswego game which was considered by the coach and all Mineral followers to be one of the more outstanding games of the season After 1 hard fought forty eight minutes the Wildcats won their 17th straight outing by defeating the Oswego team 19 12 After a well earned week of rest and with an in crease of five players the Mineral squad was ready to take on the McCune Eagles The Wildcats kept their 53 slate clean by defeating the McCune Eagles 25 6 In the midseason game the Wfildcats came up against a very fired up St Patricks football team After trailing for more than half the game the Cats finally found themselyes and went on to defeat the Lepechauns 13 7 The sixth start of the season sent Coach Hartman s squad to Mulberry after a hard fought but down hill battle all the way the XX'ildcats were defeated 53 19 and their winning string which extended oyer three years was ended at nineteen consecutive vic tones YV ILE Rebounding from their staggering defeat the Mineral eleven went to XY'eir and easily defeated them, 32-7, to return into the win column. Wfith the strain released and the squad was once again in the winning way, the team invaded River- ton and had an easy win, 38-20, then were prepared for their next outing. Pre-season predictions by' the fans and coaches said the Girard and Mineral games was to be the outstanding game of Southeastern Kansas It lived up to its prediction but the Mineral team went down to defeat 13 7 in the closing minutes of the last quarter The Homecoming game with St Marys again found the Mineral elexen again coming back from defeat The squad showed the homecoming crowd that they could come from behind and defeat the St Marys ball club 19 l-I to capture second place in the MBL League There were ten senior boys who saw their last game of their high school career they were Ronald Helms Dase Smith im Parsons Arthur Hallam erroll Zwhlen john Racy Roge Bennett Raymond Westeryelt Merle Velia and Alex Brassart We also owe a lot of our success to the under classmen who participated '8'f3-:RX ya r sh re'r ext 'er' XG. 193 Tblf pagf r um ry f MINERAL TRADING STORE West Mineral Kansas , c t ' A ' ' I 4 1 A V .
