Cory High's 1934 football squad turned out for practice August 20, under the coaching of Mr. Hutton, former Findlay College athlete. The squad practiced every day, although, many of the players did not report daily until school started September 4. LEIPSIC A squad of 24 players traveled through a down-pour of rain to Leipsic, Mr. Hutton's home town. The field was very wet and slippery making passing and end runs nearly impossible. But Cory's backfield made large gains through holes made by the line. The touchdowns gave the victory to Mt. Cory 12-0. ARLINGTON Mt. Cory opened the conference with Arlington, one of the strongest teams in the conference, who was predicted to take the Little Nine title of 1934 and was given the edge to win over Cory's eleven. Mt. Cory's offensive thrust was weak against Arlington and they were held scoreless. This was the only game all season Mt. Cory lacked the power to score. Several times Arlington advanced the ball to Cory's 20 yard line, but were thrown back by a strong Cory line. The game ended 0-0. VANBUREN Mt. Cory played their first home game with VanBuren. This was VanBuren's first conference game and they were out to keep their standing untarnished. Cory's offensive power had improved from last week. VanBuren's eleven was unable to turn back the green and white eleven's goalward marches. Geren, Coleman and Powell each scored to roll up 21 points for us. Although VanBuren showed a lot of power, the game ended 21-0. LIBERTY At Liberty a large crowd gathered to witness another victory for the green and white. After a slow start Mt. Cory pushed over three touchdowns and gave the second team a chance to play. The green and white's eleven played a fine brand of ball, led by the plunging of Strite and Geren. RAWSON Mt. Cory was quite sure of themselves after a fast start scoring two touchdowns in less than five minutes. The first was made by Coleman on a line plunge, after two .lil-11 ..l- -1 - i..l.l-1

Trophies Pupils entering the lower hall will notice the new trophy case which was made by the Manual Training Class under the direction of Mr. Rothhar. This case is filled with Mt. Cory's collection of trophies which amounts to eleven. This collection was started in the years 1925-26 when Mt. Cory received two trophies, one was obtained for winning the Hancock oratorical contest, and the other was won by the girls in the county tournament. In the year 1926 the boys added another trophy to the collection by winning the Hancock county track meet, making a total collec- tion of three. In the years 1926-27 a group of pupils from the grades obtained our fourth trophy by winning the County Grade Contest. Participants in this contest were Grover Crites, Sara Moyer, Angeline Lee, Marguerite King, Livona Harris, Edmund Hummon, Evelyn Boobring, Kenneth Wise, Joe Swank, Vera Billings, and Mary Louise Whisler. Two other trophies were won in the same year, namely, the girls basketball conference and the county debate. In the next three years the girls showed their ability to play basketball by winning the girls county championship and also the foul shooting contest at Find- lay college. In the years 1931-32, the basketball boys won both the league championship and the tournament making us a total collection of ten trophies. The last trophy was won in the year 1934 by the football boys. This was the first trophy won in foot- fall but we all know it shall not be the last. Athletic Banquet The March meeting of the P. T.

25-yard runs, the second, on a 30-yard pass from Geren to Strite. The Rawson eleven tightened down on Mt. Cory and held us until the end of the game, while they scored a touchdown, making the final score 12-6. MT. BLANCHARD The Cory eleven was still feeling high and mighty over the Rawson victory and did not play a very good brand of ball against Blanchard's small team. At the half the score was 6-6. The second half was nearly the same although the Cory eleven made a 50-yard march to score a 13-6 victory. ARCADIA The Arcadia-Mt. Cory game was the turning point in the league standing. Arcadia, Mt. Cory and Arlington were all tied for first place in the league with four victories and one deadlock. A large crowd saw the two evenly matched teams clash. Mt. Cory's eleven took the lead in the first quarter on a 25-yard run by King. It looked like Cory's game until the final period when Arcadia scored on a pass to banish our hopes for a victory. It made Arcadia and Mt. Cory tied for second place with Arlington leading the league. The score was 6-6. VANLUE Vanlue proved to be our easiest task being humbled 41 to 0. ADA We went to Ada where we defeated them 24-0. Here we enjoyed a big supper furnished by the A. A. When we got home we received the good news that Arcadia had defeated Arlington to put us in first place, tied with Arcadia. MCCOMB The McComb-Mt. Cory game was the last this season for both teams, and they both played a sparkling game of ball. In the first two minutes of play McComb carried the ball to Cory's ten yard line, where Mt. Cory took possession of the ball and in a series of plays returned it for a touchdown with Coleman going over. Two more six pointers were scored against McComb by Guin and King to put Cory in the lead 19-0. But in the last half of the game a muffled punt allowed McComb to score, making the score at the end of the game 19-6.
