JOHN MARINE Right Tackle LEROY SMITH Lei' t Tackle MILTON STONE Right End the other guard position, did some fine blocking. The Green and Brown boys fail- ed to make their extra points and so lost by the margin of two points. The score: 14 to 12. NORMAL-WINSLOW GAME The last game of the season was played on our home field with Normal's old rival, Winslow. Each team made a touchdown in the first half and neither scored in the third quarter. Mr. Booth, who had played in almost every game of the season, did exceedingly well in this game despite the fact that he was just recovering from an injury sustained in one of the previous games. Herring on end was the star in this last game, making both touchdowns for the Lumberjacks. It was during the last min- ute lof play that he recovered a fumble and made the winning score. The scorer 12 to 6. Starting a month later than the other schools of this vicinity and with only a few more than a dozen boys to pick from, about half of whom had never played foot- ball, Coach Stevenson turned out an eleven that was beaten but once during the sea-- son. AThat one defeat took place before they had practiced more than three hours, and was the next day following the open- ing game of the season with Williams. Three of our men had never even played with a football, while about three others had never been in a game. With no more than three hours practice they went to Williams to play a team with over a month's practice. The very next day they met the Clarkdale eleven on the Normal field and in their tired, sore, in- experienced condition held the large lads to 25 points. Two weeks later they played a game which showed what a little practice can do in the way of overcoming great handi- caps. From then on, they did not slacken their pace and finished the season with- out another defeat. That is a record that any school could be proud of. Coach Stevenson, who is experienced in all branches of athletics, having taken part in most of the college athletics at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin, knows how to han- Tundred Two

berjacks played during the season. The long forward passes executed by Camp and Heckethorne were wonderful Lo see. Smith did some fine work at tackle in this as well as the succeeding games. This was the game that really showed what the Normal team was when doing its best. NORMAL-ROUND VALLEY GAME November 10 Round Valley eleven invaded Flagstaff in the first storm of the year and the game was played in about six inches of snow and mud. It was, therefore, a game of line plunging with very little running in the open field. Aerial tactics were practically impossible. Stone was dis- abled in this game and was out for the rest of the season. The Lumberjacks out- classed the visitors in practically every respect, but the condition of the field kept the score down to 32 to 0. NORMAL-JEROME GAME November 17 The Jerome game was the second and last game played away from home. With the exception of Flagstaff Hi game it was the hardest fought of any during the sea- son. It was played on the Clark Field above Jerome and a large crowd from Clarkdale and the vicinity were in attend- ance. Camp and Heckethorne played true to form and their execution of forward passes with the help of Rhoton, who went through center again and again, won the game for Normal. Peila was Jerome's outstanding man, making the only score for the local team. The score, 18 to 6. NORMAL-FLAGSTAFF HI GAME The real struggle came with the local high school on the day that the McMullen Field was dedicated. The Lumberjacks made the first touchdown within four minutes of the starting whistle. Their second one was made in the second quar- ter, while both scores made by the oppon- ents were made in the last quarter, after Fillerup was taken out on account of an injured arm. Marine and Decker each tried their luck in the back field while Chet Black, who had just joined the squad, played a good game at guard.
