The record in football this year was not what you would call an impressive one. The whole story cannot be told in just the record though. The team was plagued with injuries from the beginning of the season. The year started off with a bang. The first game with Forrest was especially good. Onarga led most of the game. At the end of the third quarter the score stood 7 to 6. The Indians exploded with 14 more points and the game ended 21 to 6 in favor of Onarga. The next game we trampled Saunemin by a score of 47 to 0. It was in this game that we lost the services for the rest of the season of fullback Dick Dannehl. After tying Chatsworth 14 to 14, and trimming Milford 14 to 0, we traveled to Paxton to play the Mustangs. Again do to injuries we lost by cne shm touchdown in the last 30 seconds of the game after leading 7 to 6. The final score was 12 to 7 Paxton. After losing our chance for V. V. title by losing to Cullom 20 to 9, we sewed up 2nd place by downing Herscher by 12 to 8 on a 90 yard run by Archer. The last game of the season was with Gilman where the injured-rlddied Indians bowed before a strong Gilman eleven by a 31 to 0 score. Tne season ended with a record of 4 wins, 3 defeats and 1 tie. 20

Basketball The Basketball record this year was 11 wins and 15 losses. One of these wins was a decisive one. It was in the County Tournament over Watseka. The margin of six points was enough to make the game one of the best in the tournament. We were later beaten out of the tournament by Onarga Military School. In the V. V. we went against Herscher in the opener and won 52 to 28. We then faced Forrest, who went on to win the tournament, and we lost 49 to 39. In the Regional we were beaten out by a strong Rantoul team by a score of 76-42. This game ended the regular season. After the close of the regular season the class tournament was held, with the senior class coming out on top. The members of this team included Dannehl, Bottorff, Fink, Archer, Green, and Hockersmith. We should give all the boys out for basketball a lot of credit, and a lot of thanks to Coach Tomlinson.
