Although such a thing has never been heard of as a school winning a championship in football the first year it engaged in this sport, Northeast Junior has accomplished this feat. XVhen Coach Guemple sent out the call for football men, our boys loyally re- sponded, and the task of whipping a green team into shape began. Our boys journeyed to Country Day for the first game. Nervous and inexperienced, they were unable to cope with a heavy line and were defeated. However, it should be remembered that that school is a senior high, and this past season did not lose a game. Then the regular season opened. The team trounced VVest Junior by a lop-sided score, the boys showing marked improvement. The second game was with Westport, and Northeast was again victorious. The third game, the boys found more com- petition. Central came over, and the final score was 7-7. VVe scored a touchdown in the second quarter when DCSl12ffOll made a thrust off tackle and went over the line. Martin added the extra point. Central scored largely through heavy penalties assessed against our boys because of their eagerness. We made another touchdown, but it was not allowed through a penalty. Starting the second round against VVest, our boys found a much improved team, the score of 12-0 indicating the improvement. Our team was also weakened by the absence of DeShaffon, Scruggs and Handley. DeShaff0n was nursing an injury, while Scruggs and Handley were being saved for the Westport game. A spell of bad weather caused the postponement of the second Westport game. They finally for- icited. The big game was the last when we played Central for the championship and gave them an 18-6 drubbing. The game was interesting throughout, but the play of Kubiak and DeShaffon was outstanding. Once during the second quarter, Kubiak in- tercepted a pass on the 40-yard line and ran for a touchdown. Much credit is due Coach Guemple for his work. We may well be proud of the team in upholding good sportsmanship and for bringing a championship to us. The beautiful three-year trophy presented by Spaldings was Won this year by a good team, and we hope it will remain permanently in our shcool.
