I933 .. ...O KAW WAK O 1932 Football Games Shelbyville started its 1932 season with a loss to Salem, but came back in the second game to defeat Nokomis and win its Hrst conference game, 6-2. Shelbyville lost its first home game with a conference winning team from Gillespie in the worst defeat of the season, but the Shelby team showed good defense work despite the large score. Shelby came close within the foe's goal but failed to score. Thomas was outstanding in the line and Munsell and Tubb were effective in the backfield. Playing Pana, there, Shelby met defeat but showed a fighting spirit. Pana scored in the opening minutes, but Shelby opened a successful pass- ing attack that placed the ball on the Pana eight-yard line, but a pass was intercepted to halt the march. Winning from Litchfield in its second home game, Shelby put over twelve points to defeat Litchfield, 12-0. Both touchdowns came in the third quarter on tackle plays with Reynolds scoring on the dash through right tackle for a 40-yard dash, and Lewis tallied the second score on a ten-yard smash through right end. Tubb and Munsell played a promi- nent part for Shelby. After holding Bement scoreless in the first half of a fighting game Shelbyville was placed on the small side of a 20-0 score. Both teams were equally matched, but the triple fake passes of Bement deceived the Shelby- ville team and gave Bement its score. Playing before a large Homecoming crowd, Shelbyville failed to score over Taylorville and closed its football season with a lost of 19-0. With the loss of Lewis and Thomas, two regular linemen, Taylorville gained ground through the weakened line. The Shelby team held the Taylorville gridders to nine first downs over Shelby's three. Three men were outstanding on the yearis squad and deserve special mention. Captain Munsell was a fighting, consistent backfield man, who kept the team going whether in victory or defeat. Clarence Tubb, cap- tain-elect for 1933, showed real game spirit and leadership at quarterback and should be very successful in leading the new Okaw Valley Conference Team. Earl Thomas, a 205-pound plunging lineman gave strength and power to the ,Shelby line and was always ready to do more than his part to help the team to success. T ly

I935 - .. OKAW WAKO Basketball Record Coach Bishop's 1932-1933 team got off to a slow start but more than made up for it in later games, and although not a consistent winner proved its worth as an A-1 basketball competitor at various times by winning over leading conference teams. Only one veteran returned, but Coach Bishop was successful in building a capable team. Of the sixteen scheduled games Shelby won five but lost five by close scores to their stronger opponents. This seemed to be a loosing year for the Bishop squad, but with four veterans returning it is hoped a more successful team will result. County Tournament Shelbyville took its first game of the tournament by overwhelming Oconee, 67 to 11. Staging a second half rally, the Bishop five conquered Stewardson 34 to 28. Playing a strong Cowden team in the semi-final game, the Shelby squad was eliminated from the championship running by a S1 to 27 score. Shelby won over Tower Hill 45 to 36 for third place after playing on even terms with Tower Hill three quarters. No all-star team was selected this year but the playing of the team was of star calibre and each player made possible the fine sportsmanship displayed during the tourney. Renner and Garvin were high scorers for the Shelby team. Mattoon District Shelbyville drew Mattoon, a Big 12 team as its first tournament foe. Mattoon had a well built team, all but one six feet tall. Playing a tourna- ment brand of ball the Mattoon squad led at the end of the first quarter 9 to 2, but the Bishop five outscored the Green and Gold team to trail 12 to 7. Shelby was held to one point in the third period but came back with twelve points to outscore their opponents in the final frame but lost to a well fought game 30 to 20. Renner sank five field goals to take high point awards for Shelby. T ly
