The backfleld had its difficulties, Harry Gillogly, a stellar fullback, going out for the season with an injured shoulder in the second game of the year. In two games he made enough points to take second place honors in scoring. Harry's place was taken by Al Nicollozzi and Swede Waters, who were backed up by Gielen and Simonds. In the third game of the season at Proviso, New Trier's most able field general, Colin Finlayson, was lost for the remainder of the season with a sprained shoulder. Bill Nord- burg, whose passes were a winning factor in every game, shifted from halfback to iill this vacancy. Don Alford, Claude Hamilton, and Earl Weinstock also directed the team from this position. Captain-elect Sam Smale, Goog Dahl, Bob Seiler, John Ballenger, and Jack Foster were a quintet hard to beat in running, kicking and passing at the halfback posts. Q A total of 84 points were scored in eight games against their opponent's 35, an aver- age of 11 to 4, per game. The team was coached by Mr. Walter Aschenbach assisted by Mr. Caton and Mr. Delaporte, who were in charge of the line. New Trier 6, Proviso 0. New Trier opened its Suburban League title chase against Proviso on October 10 at Maywood. Displaying a versatile attack, they wore down a stubborn Proviso team in a Held of mud covered with water. This was the day Northwestern and Notre Dame battled to a scoreless tie and Proviso almost held New Trier to the same fate. ' New Trier 6, Morton 3. A strong Morton team received New Trier October 17 at Cicero. New Trier sensed its first defeat of the season when Kopecky stepped back and booted a perfect fifty yard placement kick over the crossbars to give Morton a three point advantage. But New Trier came back in the same quarter when Wolff caught a forty-yard pass from Nordburg for a touchdown. New Trier 6, Oak Park 12. On October 24, with the stands at Phelps Field packed to capacity, the outcome was one of the most important of the year. New Trier opened up the game by passing to a touchdown in five startling plays. Oak Park also scored in the first quarter by march- ing forty yards to a touchdown by Schwartz. Following this Smale and Ballenger left the game with injuries. The score remained a tie until the third quarter when Belzer of Oak 'Park passed the ball forty yards to Zinkil, who caught it over the goal for a touchdown. The to-be champions of the league held New Trier until the final gun announced the Grey and Green's first defeat. .fa K f .A . Page 22

FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE FOOTBALL This year's Freshman-Sophomore football squad had a fairly successful season. Under the supervision of coaches Ream and Funkhouser a powerful and well balanced team was produced. It will undoubtedly furnish some fine candidates for next year's varsity squad. The schedule for this year consisted of six games. Of this number New Trier won two and lost four. The opening game was played at Proviso and resulted in a 15 to 0 defeat for the Green and Gray. Our boys also lost the next game by a score of 13 to 0 when they tried in vain to hold Morton on the opponents field. The third game of the season also resulted in defeat. This time the New Trier team lost by a score of 32 to 0 to the powerful and fast Oak Park team. However, in the next game their luck changed and New Trier was victorious by a score of 12 to 0. The following week Deerfield invaded the New Trier field but was sent home with a 16 to 0 loss against their record. The last game of the season was played against Evanston at Dyche Stadium. The game was very even throughout the four periods. However, the Green and Gray was edged out of a victory by a single point. The score was 7 to 6 in favor of Evanston. Knight was the most outstanding player on the team. He played at half back and scored most of New Trier's touchdowns. McFadzean and Happ also played at hall back and made good showings. McKinnon played at full back. Farwell and Rail directed the team's activities from the quarter back position. At end Bridges and Wilder did their best. Fox and Burrill worked at tackles. White and Struggles played as guards while Kyle and Burrill snapped the ball to the backfield. Page 24
