Each man who had received one letter in any sport was eligible to membership. About 19 boys took advantage of the opportunity. They held a meeting the first Of the school year at which time they elected the following oiiicers who have served the entire year. Louis lYilkens, presidentg Louis Norris, vice-presidentg George XVyss, secretary-treasurer. The club had planned to give a dance the first of the school year but owing to various circumstances they were forced to abandon their plans. This club will also suffer from the loss of a great many members, but with the continued interest in athletics it is assured that it will never want for addi- tional members. Although the organizatiion has not been unusually active it is felt that the members have prohted by the club's organization. IPage 1151

A football training camp was held from September l to 8. The camp was located along the Tippecanoe River about live miles from Delphi, Indiana. The coaching staff consisted of Coach Gilbert and Elmer VVilkens, star end for the Indiana University. There were thirty candi- dates who received the week's training. which comprised of kicking, passing. handling the ball and developing the speed of the players. Wfhcn school opened Monday, September 10, practice was started immediately. Prospects for a winning team and season were bright when seven letter men-Captain Fromuth, Norris, Aldrich. VVilkens, Rahe, jurgenson and Ridgway-returned to school. SOUTH SIDE vs. AUBURN The first game was played September ZZ, and Auburn furnished the oppositi-on. The team got away with a flying start by scoring a 33 to 0 victory. SOUTH SIDE vs. PERU The next opponent of South Side was Peru. The defeat of the team 20 to 9, was the first time that a South Side football team was ever vanquished. SOUTH SIDE vs. KENDALLVILLE The team ran wild and piled up a score of 45 points while Kendallville was held scoreless. The work of the South Side line was worthy of mention for it held like a stone wall. Fromuth played a fine game and scored tive touchdowns. The game marked the dedication of our wonderful new stadium. SOUTH SIDE vs. HUNTINGTON The following week the team accompanied by a large number of rooters went to Huntington and emerged victoriohs by a score of 27 to l-l. Victory has its price, and the price in this instance was the loss of two star players who were injured, NVilkens receiving a broken collarbone and Aldrich tore the ligaments in his l1ip. These injuries weakened the team. fpage 1161 7,7 Momsu.
