Some forty eight boys, under the dominant planet Mars, with the promise of recognition probably in the form of special distinction or honor had an- swered the call for the first football practice a few days before the start of classes. Coach Freemuth was consid- ered the man to help them advance their career and they worked long and hard under his tutelage until September 22 when full of hope and confidence they journeyed to Normal to play University lligh. But the boys from Uni High re- membered last year and gained their revenge in a high scoring game but with the Sages on the short end of the 27 to 39 score. Number two was played against LeRoy. This was a fairly easy game but it did prove that the Sages needed plenty of practice. The scoring was pretty well divided up among the play- ers until Frank lloffman was high man with two touchdowns and an extra point. The final score ended up 34-O in favor of the Sages. Coach Freemuth, assisted hy Gregory, condition squad. On October 14th the Sages played Tuscola in a game that they just had to win, But the luck seemed to be with the Tuscola Warriors. The only Monticello touchdown made that night was by Elmer Lyons, the acting captain for the night. Rich Gadbury came through with the ex- tra point. The score was 14-7 in favor of Tuscola. The fourth was perhaps the dirt- iest game played by the Sages this sea- son. KNO reflection on the sportsman- ship of the contestantsb It was at Clin- ton on a wet and muddy field. For a while it looked as if the Sages were in an unfavorable period but just before the half Rich Gadbury went across to hit paydirt. In the third quarter Rich broke loose for an eighty yard run which payed off again. The rest of the game was like a pendulum, the teams swinging back and forth, accomplishing nothing but to pass the time to the final score 12-7. Number five is the game that every- one in Monticello would like to forget. lt was October the 28th and Homecoming Arcola was the foe. The game started off just fine, but the further along it got, the more luck Arcola seemed to have. The Sages were throwing every- thing but the kitchen sink at them but Arcola wouldn't be stopped. The final score was 12-6 in favor of Arcola. Where the Sages drink-- COUNTRY cluuzm DAIRY
