For the first game of the season SHS was host to Seneca Catholic whom we defeated 21-6. The Blue Jays journeyed to Centralia to try to mar the Panthers’ record but were turned back by a 7 to 0 score. After those two games Conference play onen- ed. Troy was first on our list whom we de- feated 37 to 0. After that game Sabetha look- ed to be in the running of the Big Six Confer- ence. But falling to a fired-up bunch from Horton seemed to take a lot out of the Blue Jays. From then on it was down hill for SHS. Sabetha got ready to take on their ancient rival, Hiawatha. After the smoke had cleared from a closely fought game the Indians were on top 6 to 0. Plagued by injuries that cost us Art Bell and Gary Shadel, we continued to fight on on- ly to be defeated by Holton 38 to 0 and by Washington 33 to 6. The game with Effingham was the last one of conference play. The temperature was below freezing, so we put on all our clothes to be warm and meet the mighty Tigers. We did take the mighty out of them but still could not muster the last ounce of punch required to get that last tally across, and the score was 31 to 7 in their favor. Because of injuries that hampered us all season we had to use both coaches to fill in the defensive team tohave enough men to prac- tice with as we prepared for the last game, a non-conference game with Frankfort. The boys fought hard but couldn’t turn the tide and went down in defeat 21 to 0.
