On Turkey day Stigler went to Russelville, Arkx? to take on the strong Russelville Aggie team which had not been scored on during thai year, and when Stigler left they had the same record. Although we are not offering any alibis, the team was certainly not up to standard, having been up all 'th lprevious 5 : - : night in making the trip. The game was full of interest despite the score, as he high 1 4' 5 school, although hopelessly outweighed, put up a game iight. Fuqua and Boots played ' ' the best for the Stigler team. December 8, at Stigler AMERICAN LEGION 0 STIGLER 21 In our annual game with the American Legion, Captain Wadley, Rose Thomas, Raney and Garner, playing their last game with their beloved Qhigh school, covered themselves with glory by tromping over their former team-mates?-especially Big Boy Riley. In this game the lighter high school team showed their superiority over their heavier opponents by circling their ends and passing at will. All that we can say for the Legion is that they put up a good game for the amount of time they practised K-5 5-I ll t I Illlllll Ill lllllf' I A ll llll lllllllllll ll llllllllllllll l E 2 i s : : E E E g 2 : - - ig.

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

CAPTAIN K. WADLEY- Doc Wadley-playing his last season for Stigler High, led his team-mates through a successful season. He proved a good captain, and gave his best both in defeat and victory. From his position at quarterback, his generalship was responsible for many victories. fQuarterbackJ UY CURRY- Dick shared honors with Grace at full-back. He hits the line like a pile-driver. His broken field running is little short of marvelous. He paved the way to victory over Heavener and won the game at Checotah by adding the deciding' point after touchdown. QFull-baqkj LEON THOMAS- Puny played his first year with the team at the pivot position. His passes were sure and he was a center who never lost his head. He is a scrapper and frequently broke through, getting the quarter before he could pass the ball. He played a stellar game against the Warner Aggies. QCenterJ PAO! 8rx1'!-'rwo
