The local squad showed real football ability and teamwork and completely outclassed their opponents in this game. Bill Raney and Scott were towers of strength in the line and Morris was unable to penetrate the line. Their only touchdown came from an on-side kick i October 13, at Tahlequah NORTHEASTERN STATE NORMAL 6 STIGLER 0 Friday, the thirteenth proved unlucky for the Stigler gridsters and they met their first defeat of the season at the hands of Wall Abbot's powerful team. The teachers managed to score on a fake end run in the first period of the game but were held scoreless during the three remaining periods. The Stigler team threatened in the last quarter through a series of forward passes which swept the Upadagogues' defense off their feet and only lack of time prevented Stigler from scoring. Captain Wadley starred on the defense, breaking up many of the Normal team's plays before they got started. .an wif- ll X N f A H, Ny Yr! I ' r A...

He has not only instilled into his teams a fighting tendency, but he has taught his athletes a still better and more valuable lesson that of fair play. Coach Hill is one of the cleanest, fairest, and most sympathetic mentors ln Eastern Oklahoma. In all the sports Hill stands out as a leader. He is an able basketball and baseball director, as well as a good track coach. His ability as a coach lies in his qualities of leadership, coupled with his love for his men. He deals fair and square with those under his care and gives each man a man's chance. His honesty and fairness have won for him the distinction of being one of the leading coaches in Eastern Oklahoma, and in the minds of Stigler students and the people he has no equal JOHN T. Holleman, known to football fans as Squaw Holleman, the fighting Bull Dog of Hendrix College, entered his initial step as an athletic director in the Stigler High School at the beginning of the football season in September, 1922. His presence was an assurance to the Stigler fans that we were to truly have a winning football team. He did not disappoint anyone for the season had hardly opened until his ability as a coach was established. With the natural born instinct of a leader, he shaped the ma- terial at hand into an invincible squad which won the admiration of the school, town and state. Coach Holleman was formerly a Stigler high school athlete, having played on the Stigler Hi eleven three years before entering college, and after finishing college came back to us with his whole heart devoted to the interests of the team. By the skill- ful handling of the team he has won the respect and admiration of all.

October 20, at Heavener HEAVENER 6 STIGLER 27 The team next met Coach McKennon's proteges on the gridiron at Heavener. The team was crippled by the loss of its brilliant half-back, Fuqua, but Curry substituting at half, played a wonderful game, scoring two of the four touchdowns. The Stigler team, though outweighed, outfought the Heavener team and circled their ends for many long gains. . October 27, at Checotah CHECOTAH 6 STIGLER 7 The team journeyed to Checotah without the services of three of their regular backfield, and the outlook was not bright. However, the substitutes for these men did their best to see to it that these men were not missed and succeeded admirably. Hub Grubbs, playing his first game of football, played brilliantly. Curry at full, plunged the heavy Checotah line for many gains andi added the winning point after touchdown. November 11, at Stigler WARNER AGGIES 22 STIGLER 6 After resting a week Stigler met the powerful Warner team on Armistice Day. Suffering from over-confidence, they were handed a surprise and were given a good drubbing before the largest crowd of the season. Inability to handle punts proved their downfall and about six chances were fumbled, the Warner team recovering. Thomas and Raney fought hard to avert defeat, and played great individual games. November 24, at Stigler KEOTA 7 '7 '7 '7 This was our annual game with our old rival, Keota. Never before in the history of our participation in athletics, was so great an interest manifested in a game. So great was the interest that hundreds of Keota fans came in brightly decorated cars, putting infinite trust in their eleven. In this game Stigler had to do without the services of two star backfield men, but this was another case where the ultility may played prob ably as well as the men they replaced. The brilliant generalship of Captain Wadley at quarter was a feature of the game. The Stigler team started the game with a rush and scored a touchdown on long line bucks. carrying the ball from the twenty yard line to the goal. The Stigler team outfought, out-witted and out-generaled the Keota eleven but a temporary weakness in the defense allowed the opposing team to score, West of Keota followed with a perfect kick for the extra point. With seven minutes of play left, the Stigler team, with a rush of speed placed the ball on Keot-a's own fifteen yard line, making downs in rapid succession, but the d-m whistle blew 1 a lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllr
