vrmrmiTTRiK Coach Roach, a gradu- ate of Tulsa University, has proved himself to be a capable and effi- cient coach, and has won the admiration and respect of all the ath- letes and sportlovers in the Yampa Valley con- ference. Capt. “Tim” Reardon Half-back Second year—140 lbs. He was a great open field runner and a good leader. “Jess” Poulson (Capt.-elect) Half-back Second year—135 lbs. He could always de- liver the goods when called on. End runs were his best bet. STEAMBOAT 26—CRAIG 7 Craig, our opponents for the second time, were much better prepared to play a good game of football, as they soon showed. Instead of their previous overwhelming defeat, they held the Sailors to 26 points, while they were collecting 7. - 19-SAIL0R-24 Page 24

JFnntball iiuab I f I f f Top Row—Cross, Combs, Lajala, Zimmerman, Smith, Curtis. Second Row—Patton, Neish, Roach (coach), Steele, Fletcher, Reardon. Bottom Row—Neiman, Poulson, Mann, Edmondson. At the beginning of the Football season, prospects looked good for producing another championship team. The following letter men from last year reported for practice: Capt. Reardon, Lajala, Poulson, Neiman, Edmondson, Combs, Curtis, Soash and Patton. Hard work and the right spirit soon brought results, and in the first conference game the Sailors decisively defeated Craig, 57-13. The game was featured by many long runs by the Steamboat Gridsters, who showed that they had a good coach, and that they had a championship team. STEAMBOAT 13—MEEKER 6 The following game, with Meeker, was as close as the score indicates, and the out- come was m doubt until the last few minutes of play, when Steamboat started a forward pass attack that netted them a touchdown. The Sailors were handicapped by playing after a long trip, but were always like a stone wall when Meeker was in the scoring zone. STEAMBOAT 26—HAYDEN 12 The Hayden Tigers had high aspirations and were out to get the Sailors’ goat. But they were doomed to disappointment, for the Steamboat backfield ripped great holes in their line. In this game Steamboat fumbled considerably or the score would have been larger, for time after time the ball would be carried within scoring distance, when a fumble would give it to Hayden. - 19-SAIL0R-24 rn«:o 23

An accurate passer of the ball and a wizard on the defense. “Cherry” Curtis Tackle Second year—150 lbs. Took his share in the fight at all times. STEAMBOAT 40—HAYDEN 0 Steamboat proved their superiority over Hayden when they met the Tigers in their lair. The Stamboat team proved that they were able to score, by any of the modern ways of scoring. They would rip great holes in the Hayden line and then would make long gains by passing. 19-SAIL0R-24 Pasrc 2f»
