Athletic Director Football Basketball Baseball ■p Jb ETAINING the Columbian Squires Trophy and the Catholic Northwest Championship, Seattle Prep enjoyed a successful football season, amassing five victories, one tie and two defeats. When the season opened, eleven returning lettermen were expected to form the nucleus of the squad, but only seven of these veterans answered Coach Walterskirchen's first call, and Walt's worries began here. On top of this Tierney Wilson, letterman tackle, wasn't in suit for the first game, and Walt was required to field a comparatively green team against Puyallup's strongest team in history, when the Panthers journeyed to the fair” town to encounter the Vikings. Both contestants lacked polish, and many fumbles costly to both teams occurred. The Vikings won the game on one of these fumbles in the first quarter. In an effort to crack Puyallup's center-line on the twenty, the Panthers' fullback fumbled, and after a series of passes Puyallup scored and kicked the extra goal. Though outscored 7-6 the Prep lads were not out-fought nor out-played. The Panthers gained more first downs and ate up more ground than two Puyallup teams could. Late in the final quarter, the hero of the day, George Mullally, caught two beautiful thrusts from the mighty arm of Carroll. It was his blocking, tackling and all-around play that saved the Panthers from too bad a defeat. The Prepsters scored six points and one hundred invading rooters from Seattle went home empty handed! Following the Puyallup game was the Bothell encounter. On a rather slow field a listless tie resulted, each team battling for a goose egg.” One of the high spots of this game was Carroll's tackle of a fleeting Bothellite on the four yard line, after he had dashed through the whole team. Bothell was held for downs and the Prep slate was clear. George Roberts faced his former Alma Mater worthily, playing a bang-up game for the Prep. Nestor v as shifted to end, due to Mullally's sudden decision to leave school. This was another damaging blow to the Panther forces, for George had played a great game at Puyallup and Nestor's experience was sorely needed in the center of the line. Nary a win had the Panthers received, when at last the crucial O'Dea game was at hand. Due to an agreement between both institutions this year two games were to be played. In the first encounter the Prepsters won handily twelve to nothing (12-0). A long pass from Wally Carroll to Roberts paved the way for the initial tally. Bucky O'Connor, the stocky fullback, then plunged the agate into pay dirt.” Aided by one of the best blocks seen in the Civic Stadium administered by Jim Spellacy, Carroll skirted the Irishers' left end for the final touchdown. This victory retained for Seattle Prep the Columbian Squire's Trophy, presented annually by the junior Knight's to the winner of FOOTBALL
