At the beginning of the season, most of the fellows were green and unaccustomed to playing supervised football. The coaches worked hard teaching these boys the funda- mentals of the game, the plays and how to condition themselves for football. The following record of wins and losses, is proof that these boys learned their foot- ball well. The Young Whippets got off to a good start, by edging Mansfield Madison, in it's opening preview 7 to 0. Next, a strong Wil- lard team took the measure of our boys 13 to 6. The team then traveled to Galion, to fight the Tigers to a 0 to 0 tie. Another loss to Willard followed. Willard 24, Shelby 7. The J. V's. came back strong the next week to beat Galion 21 to 0. The following week Mansfield Madison upset Shelby 13 to 7. The Belleville varsity then edged the team 20 to l4. This was one of the Young Whippets best games and a tough one to lose. These Young Whippets have interested a good many of the younger boys in football and will give a good account of themselves with future varsity teams.
