PE? Q., A ,,,,..,..J-x , ear End f Season Our first three games were conference contests. We met Pana on our field and lost 20-7. Shflby counted first, however, on a pass from Beezo to Crane. We traveled to Nokomis and Taylorvillc and came out on the short end of scores of 20-0 and 31-0, respec- tively. The Rams continually fumbled the pigskin at Nokomis, and lh: Redskins counted on every break. The Taylorville game was played in a downpour of rain an.l the Rams couldn't get started against the confer- eziee champs. After three conference thumpings the Rams trav- eled outsid: the league for five games. The locals tangled with Charleston, Assumption, Bethany, and Moweaqua on their respective fields and then clashed with Decatur in the Shelby-High Homecoming game. Charleston and Assumption rolled us under by scores of 45-7 and 26-0. Leach made the lone marker on a quarterback sneak. However, Bethany and Moweaqua were different stories. Shelby topped Bethany 35-0 as Howse, Crane, and McBride each scored once and Leach clicked the scoreboard twice. The Rams did even a more convincing job against Moweaqua in a 49-0 fashion. Crane hit pay-dirt three times Leach twice, and Howse and Bland each once. The Shelby team returned to complete the season at home against Decatur in the Homecoming game and Kincaid in a conference game. The Rams stood their ground in the hrst half and led 7-6 at the intermis- sion on Leach's pass to Richardson. Decatur counted three times in the third quarter to spell defeat for the Rams, 33-7. Last on the schedule was Kincaid. Neither Shelby nor Kincaid had won a conference game. Shelby ended the season with a conference record of l-3 and Kincaid with 0-S. The Rams tromped the Ponies 33-0 as Howse starred with two touchdowns. Leach, Mc- Bride, and Richardson also counted in the scoring. Our greatest loss was the tragic death of jack XVarren which came during the height of the season. .lack played tackle and had been a real credit to Shelby- I-Iigh football teams while he was winning four letters. Last, we wish to congratulate Coach Geisz on the showing his boys put up, and here's hoping he and the team have better luck next season. Marshall Reid. as 561 .- xxx sa ,1 , , Page Z5

If Sports' Bri lat Lzlgbt We opened the season at Pana in the annual Tur- key Day game. They nipped us 44-42 and it was also our first Illinois Mid-State Conference game. How- ever, we beat St. Elmo and Charleston T. C. before we fell again. This time it was Taylorville and, worst of all, in a conference game. We got hot after los- ing and beat Windsor, Neoga, Nokomis, Greenville, and Pana. The last 3 were conference mixes. The Pana Holiday Meet was next, but Feitshans stopped us in an overtime. Nokomis was easy the next evening for third place. Starting the new year off right, we won 3 straightg two were of the conference variety. Altamont upset us 44-29 which was revenged later. Getting back to their winning ways, the Rams hit another hot streak that took in the county championship. Hillsboro was the only dark spot in this drive as they revenged their earlier defeat 34-39. After the tournament the Rams got into some big league competition which marred their record. St. Elmo took revenge, Vandalia and Kincaid scored con- ference wins over us, and Sullivan's one man outfit Fifteen rahs for the team! squeezed by for a win. Then the Rams notched 7 straight victories before Taylorville stepped in to put out the fire in the second game of the regional. Green- ville was our final conference victim during this win splurge. The Rams played a big 35-game schedule and gave a very good account of themselves on almost every occasion. We seniors wish them the best of luck in the future. Marshall Reid.
