FOOTBALL With ten veterans coming back to school this year, Monroe had one of the best outlooks for a very successful season that she has ever known. Coach Parker issued his call early in the first week of school and a liarge number of candidates were on hand. At the close of football last year we lost our football gridiron, but thru the splendid efforts of our Athletic Association we obtained a good field at the south end of Washington street. This field was called Washington Field and by the time of our first game, October 2nd, was ln splendid shape, hav- ing been rolled and a grandstancl erected on one side. Our first opponent was the light team representing Wayne High school. Monroe proved themselves superior in every way and had little difficulty in winning by the score of 55 to 0. After a week of hard training we took on Highland Park High School, October 9th. Highland Park had a very good team and forced us to the limit to win by the score of 6 to 0. Our score came early in the game and from then on neither team was able to gain consist- ently. The following week our boys made a joumey to Birmingham. Birmingham was expected to give little opposition and it was thought Monroe would run up a large score. Due to ragged play- ing and fumbling Monroe scored only four touch- downs, although the score of Z7 to 0 does not begin to show the superiority of our team. Next week we played Cass Tech of Detroit , at Washington Field. This was easily the hard- BLISS KEMMERIJIN6 est game on our schedule thus far, but the boys Football Captain 1921 were not in the least daunted and played the Mechanics off of their feet in the first three quarters. In the fourth quarter due to the individual efforts of Gasser, Cass' All-Star half-back, the Detroit boys were able to acquire and maintain the lead, although the game ended with Monroe in possession of the ball in Cass' territory. The final score of this game was I4 to l9, Cass being the first team to score on us. On Saturday, October 30, the team set sail fon Ypsilanti. Ypsi was knovsm to have a good team and a hard battle was expected. The first half was scoreless, although Monroe was inside of Ypsi's ten yard line when the whistle blew. In the third quarter Capt. Bliss Kemmerling caught a punt on
