E THE POTTER SHIELD ST. JOSEPH'S, 10. JUNIORS, 26 ' St. J oseph's Academy went down to defeat on our field 1n a very hard fought game. Although the visitors clearly outclassed our team 1n part of the second half, we had too much reserve power and they were unable to threaten our goal line, thanks to our commanding lead. Jennings and Knight broke' even on scoring, each one going over the line twice. Our goal kicker, Doolittle, converted two times. LONGFELLOW, 14. JUNIORS, 13 ' It isalways hard luck to lose a game by one point, butthat is exactly what we did to the Longfellow Grammar School. All neutrals admitted that we had much the better team, and our only regret is that we were not able to get a return game. Mr. Christie, the University Track Coach, hurried up the 'game a little too much and prevented Gibbons from making it a tie-game. Our opponents had absolutely no team workand were able to win solely because they had three heavy players who were able to get away with forward passes. Knight suffered at the hands of a certain individual in that game. Ask him about it. ' ST. JOSEPH'S, 27. JUNIORS, 0 , Sadly we relate what happened ,to our team when it went to Peralta Park and played a return game with St. J oseph's. Our team was off ,form that day and did not show the usual amount of fight. However, our chances for victory would have been much better had we not been deprived of the services of D. Fuller and Jimmie Dickey, who were prevented from making the trip for reasons best known to them- se ves. w1LL1AM WARREN, 3. JUN1oRs, is In a return game played on our field we triumphed over our rivals by the score of 18-3. Some of the boys feared for our team's chances when they saw the size of the William Warren team, but we came out ahead. Every player on the team put up a splendid game, our little light weights Stevenson, Pierce, and Whitaker .playing an especially fine game. Hale, the elongated tackle, blocked a punt and raced 30 yards for a touchdown. The work of J. Dickey and Gibbons was good. The visitors did not have a chance. 'The following will make their Junior letters, with one or two exceptions: F. Fuller, D. Fuller, J. Dickey, B. Dickey, Jennings, N. Pierce, Gibbons, Hale, Newbauer, Whitaker, G.

Van Duin The Potfer Juniors 4 THE FOOTBALL team of Potter Juniors, although much lighter than in previous years, the team average being only 96 pounds, has had a good season, considering the size of the teams played. In every game this year, with the exception of one, the team has been out- weighed by from 10 to 20. pounds per man. In spite of this and the fact that two of our members, Knight and McNear, have graduated because of weight, we have succeeded inwinning the majority of our games. . The .team is a game bunch and can handle any aggregation in the country. that does not average over 100 pounds. SECOND TEAM, 26. JUNIORS, 6 In the first game of the season, which was really a practice game, our much heavier opponentsidefeated us by the above-named score. It was a case of too much beef, ' J . Dickey, however, managed to fool the big 2nd team and made a touchdown with his favorite end around end. MOSSWOOD, 0. JUNIORS, 30 I In a game played on California Field between the halves of the college game the Mosswood team was completely outclassed. In the second half all the sub- stitutes were put in the game, with the exception of Archie Ritchie, who went along as water boy. Touchdowns were made by Knight, J. Dickey C3D, and Fuller. WILLIAM WARREN, 12. JUNIORS, 13 The team went to Menlo Park early in the season and succeeded in defeating the William Warren School by a very close score. Our fellowswere outweighed by 15 pounds to the man, but they showed some real fighting spirit and came out of the game one point to the good. J. Dickey and Big Fuller both made touch- downs. Although every man on the team played a wonderful game, credit for the winning point must be given to Doolittle, who kicked goal after our second touch- down and saved the day. Tl1z'rty-one
