Their aerial attack work- ing almost to perfection, the Green completed eleven out of twelve attempts. South Side scored in the first quarter on a pass from Lee to Ellenwood.

After four passes had placed the ball in scoring position, Ellenwood scored again, this time on an end-around play.

Idowever. though the Archers won more games than they had the previous season. two of their losses were in city-series contests. Thus. for the hrst time in three successive years, the Green lost the city crown. Two of their three North- eastern Indiana Conference games were against city opponents.

In an attempt to cover up this defect, the Archers frequently resorted to an aerial attack. In their games against North Side and Central. the Arch- ers found this offensive weapon bottled upg and, as a result. could not gather the necessary scoring punch. Coach Lundy Welborn built his team around a few experienced veterans. Most valuable of these were the three linemen: Ellenwood at end. Nye at tackle. and Ostermeyer at center. In addition, Bud Lee at full- back turned in a good kicking job throughout the season. During their entire season, the Archers defeated Van Wert. Peru. Central Catholic. Columbia City, and 98 ': ':m' the ball to the three-yard line. However, four at- tempts carried the ball to the one-foot stripeg and South Side took possession of the ball on downs. On the following Saturday, Van Wert came to Fort Wayne to meet the Archers. The Green, however, proved themselves poor hosts by pushing over four touchdowns and making good on two extra-point at- tempts to win 26 to 0. They scored twice in the third period and twice in the final quarter. The Archers gained a complete variety of results for their first three games, a win, a loss, and a tieg then they bowed before the strong Mishawaka eleven, 18 to 0. The Maroon staged a second-quarter drive that netted them three touchdowns and the margin of victory. 1532257

,EJ Putting All Their Shots In One Basket BY DICK HELM Cowboy', Friddle, as we have been told our new coach is called by his friends, certainly exhibited cowboy tactics during the basketball season here at South Side. Unacquainted with South Side and South Side students, he staged a real basketball rodeo on our floor and amazed everyone when he roped many of his toughest games in his hrst year. With only two members of last season's varsity ten available to serve as a nucleus around which to build a team, Coach Burl Friddle, former Franklin College star and member of the immortal Franklin VVonder Five. assumed his duties at South Side with very poor prospects for a good season before him. Since he used a stvle of play different from that employed by Coach McClure, former Archer mentor, Coach Friddle spent most of the season drilling his charges on funda- mentals. He demanded the perfect execution of details on the part of every player. He stressed the development of an air-tight defense just as he had at Washington High where he produced the state championship squad of netters in 1930. The 1935-36 Archer net season was really a successful one. The Green played twenty-six tilts during the season. including a Christmas invitational meet and the sectional tournament. ln its twenty-six games the Green net aggregation scored 701 points while holding their opponents to a total of 626 markers. A total of thirty or more points were rung up on the Green on only four occasions during the entire season. The South Side netters were forced to relinquish their share of the N. E. I. C. title and the city scholastic title which they had held jointly with the Central Tigers. ln their debut, the Friddlemen humbled Butler's Windmills by the score of 38 to 17. Hall and Speaker, diminutive forwards, led the Green attack. On the next evening the Green journeyed to Michigan City where they received a 27-to-22 setback at the hands of the Red Devils. Coach Friddle used nine men in this con- test as he experimented in an effort to find the best combination of players. On the following weekend the Green divided their pair of N. E. I. C. conflicts. With a veteran team of Bluffton Tigers as their opponents, the Green were unable to stop an avalanche of baskets in the nrst half of the contest, and they subsequently bowed to the Wells County tossers by a 28-to-16 count. On the next evening the Archers played a greatly improved brand of ball as their accurate shooting smoth- ered the Auburn Red Devils 44 to 25. After a week of intensive drill on shooting to improve their sniping ability, the Archers hung up two more victories. Pierceton's Cubs were first to fall before the South Siders, whose last-half rally earned them a 39-to-25 decision. In their next encounter the Green marked up their initial city series victory as they downed Left: Don Reichert. Below: Norman Budde, Bud Lee, -lim Ellenwood, Joe Close.
