Deer Chump: Wel Chump about the first Week of january Koach Howl said as how We should awl turn out for basketbal practice. This here skool has no jim so We joggt down town to an ex-millinery-saloon shop. Seemed to me the place was about big enough to flip a kat in and that was about awl. Wel the felers kam out in there suits but gee, Chump, most of then didn't have a thing on cept there A. B. Cyc. There nees wer more or less openwork a la Scot Hilander lil 50ilfU51ZY1lmWiil1YYQF W1ffiili7iB11Til1Ykiifjijfiifiu lgmmiix 1121 V: if '. 1 5 if f' 11 .A it 1 wld t 1 7 5 2 5,1 ,Y . vi l 1 V Ll A ' V V .J ici, 1.1 ri '-1 Fl . 5.3 2,1 vs uf 'A 2.1 .1 14 1 fi '13 ' . 1

Well, that game showed that we were improving. Next we took up with Shelton here. This was the best ball that Oakville played during the entire season. In the last half of the game the fellows proved that they could play real ball. The week after that we journeyed over to Shelton and run around on their fantasic-shaped gridiron for awhile. The word fantasic-shaped describes it exactly for Shelton had taken about twenty yards or so off the two ends and carelessly misplaced it. At least we couldn't find it. It certainly was beauti- ful to see long kickoffs from the forty yard line, said forty yard line being about five yards out from the goal posts. Well, anyway it was the best debate we have heard in a long time. Favor Shelton. On Turkey Day we went over to our neighbor, Elma, and helped them to appreciate their turkey better for having earned it in the afternoon track meet. But now that we have paid our initiation fee and are classed among the elect we warn all teams to watch out for us. Next fall we will have almost the same team back and then we plan to show the other fellows a thing or two. We loose Shannon White, half, Willis Shull, tackle and full, and John Austin, guard. But a new bunch is coming on so we should worry. At least we have all cut our eye teeth and know a little about the game now. Football letters were earned and awarded to the following men-John MacDonald, Lee Fisher, Conald Fisher, Merrill Irvin, Willis Shull, Harry White, Bill Simmons, Charles Couch, John Austin, Harold Ross and Burton Miller. An honorary letter was also awarded to Shannon White, because of injuries received in our first game. Lineup: Ends-Carrol Barick, Harry White, Will Simmons. Tackles-Charles Couch, Willis Shull. A Guards-John Austin, Harold Ross. Center-Merrill Irwin. Quarter-John MacDonald. I-Ialves-Conald Fisher, Burton Miller, Archie Inman and Shannon White. Full-Lee Fisher, Willis Shull. Subs.--Fred Kjellman, Roy Adams. 1 i 1 r v'.11iL:i1mk iff.: 1 x r 1 111 , ,. , l, W. I iz J, i I3 .

stile. Then ye awl ran round the place tying to put a bal about the size of a pumkin thru a hoop but the sirkumference of a beer keg. Spose you still remember what a bear keg looks like, Chump? They say as how the guy that discovered the gam used reglar bushel baskets for hoops. Believe me, Chump if I ever put one thru they will have to put a red ring round that date in the kalender. Wel in a few dais the koach says as how sertain canned dates wood kompose the teem. Then we played a skeduld gam with the town teem over in the Nod Felers Hal. Say that flor was so slick I'll bet most of the baskets were maid akkidentle cause most of the time the felers were pickin themselves up off the flor and feelin round there an- neatoms to disclose how much bark they had scrapt off in the pro- ces. Wel they lickt us 16 too 14. Knot so owful Chump. But then the Nod Felers woodn't let us practice in there hall, we even had to almost get down on our nees and bark then roll over befor they wood even let us play our gams there. A weak after that we tok on the town teem again. Believe me, Chump, that gam was a bird -a gam bird. We gallopt awl round that bunch and wallopt them to the tune of 18 to 14. Wel, Chump, the skie fell in on us soon af- ter that. We lost our practice hal. Som guy sold it and then stead of us slautherin other teems there some man now tries todo the same thing to a few kows. A butcher shop, Chump. Wel we had no place to practice and we had to kansel awl the skeduld games. Gee but it maid the hole skool mad. It seems that there are two hals here, this W. O. O. F. Hal and the Mov-e Place. The movie place is called the Star cause everytime a feler fell on the flor thats what he saw. The Woof is called that I guess, because they howl round so much bout hi skool teems playing on there flor. It can't be cause they let rowed shows kome in. Loggers kome to the show and slap strenuously-mostly on the floor with there shooes. So we had to play quits for this season. We had the makins of a good teem too, so the koach says. There was Chet Richardson, our lankv sen- terg Donald Mac Intosh Qor som such namej and Henery Loomis, forwards, Shanon White and Willis Shull, guards. And then again several other fellers chipt in on the fight once in a while. Forin- stances there was Conald Fisher, Frank Wright and Burton Miler. Wel anyway next year we may have a reel jim and then you watch us play this here old gam of basketbal, A respitefully yours Chump. ' -A. W. H.
