A long completed pass to Marvin. in the Central game. BOYS' ATHLETICS FOOTBALL Albert Bozgay was awarded the NIGBO-NOTBE DAME TBOPHY for being the most valuable player in Kansas City lnterscholastic compe- tition. Chet Grant, assistant backfield coach at Notre Dame, presented this trophy to Bozgay just previous to the final league basketball game with Paseo, February 22, in Convention Hall Undoubtedly the most thrilling game of the season was when North- east opposed the Southwest lndians. The lndians uncovered an unex- pected attack which almost ended disastrously for the Vikings. The ability of the Purple and White team to keep fighting and not blow up when they were behind was rewarded in the last minute of play when a pass from Bozgay to Marvin was completed for the win- ning score. Southwest was the only league team to cross the Viking goal line. Twenty-four boys were awarded letters on the l935 football squad. The backfield players receiving letters were: Albert Bozgay, Paul Masoner, Iohn Secco, loe Maglich, Iames Noon, lack Day, Ioe Cohen, Eugene Bredehoeft, and Leslie Barnesp the linemen: Kenneth Hawthorne, Don Marvin, foe luricak, Albert Blake, Hay- den Buford, Ioe Engleman, Charles Buckley, Harry Hock- ensmith, Ralph Sarli, Homer Bryant, Carl Iohnson, lohn Topi, Paul McDonald, Willis Harville, and Robert Farrand. Northeast also had a strong second team which, al- though undefeated, finished in second place as the result of two scoreless ties. Mr. Troy Smith was coach of this group. Albert Bed Blake, who has already had two years experience in lnterscholastic competition, was selected by the squad to succeed Kenny Hawthorne as Captain. LEAGUE STANDING W L T Pct.

'if T? Perfect blocking-Maglich aids Rozgay in gaining HgaiHSt Central BOYS' ATHLETICS FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS! Playing the type of game that marks an outstanding team, the 1934 undefeated Northeast grid squad, under the direction of Coach Mount E. Davis, captured the first football title in Viking history and finished the season with a string of eight victories to their credit. Northeast had visions of its first championship even before the league games began this year, for Coach Davis had ten lettermen and a capable squad of reserves around which to build the team which proved its knowledge of football in every game. Using the Notre Dame system of play the Northeast eleven functioned smoothly and effectively. Their play was spectacular from the onlookers point of view and they had little difficulty gaining ground, either by passing or running. The Vikings were by far the best team in the Inter- scholastic League, both offensively and defensively. They scored a total of 153 points to 26 for their opponents. Not only the league teams fell before the Northeast ma- c chine, but also the squads of Wyandotte and Rockhurst, by scores of 19-6 and 20-6, respectively. The fine broken field running of the entire backfield as well as the block- ing of the team in general is probably the reason for these victories. The team proved its worth regardless of weath- er conditions as the East and Paseo games were played in the mud. Four Northeast players were awarded positions on the league All-Star Eleven, which is chosen by the coaches of the seven schools. These boys were: A1 Rozgay and Paul Masoner, halfbacksy Kenneth Hawthorne, end, and Ioe luricak was named captain and center. Several Vik- ing players were also placed on the second team and given honorable mention.
