The Indians took their first game of the season easily enough from the Wilbur eleven, but did not have such good luck when they met the veteran Beatrice crew. Captain White received a broken nose in this game. However, this only seemed to instill more fire into the team. We next journeyed over to Nebraska City, and there met with ill luck condensed. Mathis received a broken nose, Peek got the ligaments torn loose in his hip, and Story went “bye bye” after a severe crack on the head. This hard fought game ended with a neutral score. We next met our old rival, Falls City, and were able, after much hard-won ground, to deal out a touchdown by Story. We went into the next game with Sterling under the handicap of playing without the services of Story, Kleine, and Mathis, but were able to gain a rather easy victory of 25 to 6. Page 19

 FOOTBALL Coach Higgins has carried on his remarkable work in the Tecumseh High School for the past seven years. Starting in with very little material to work with he has built up a reputation in the short period that is much feared by the rest of the conference teams. Two of the teams Coach Higgins turned out were undefeated, and his mark in the southeast championship has always been high. He has also turned out some very favorable track teams with one Drake squad bringing home the honors. He received his training while in school from Schulte of Nebraska University. Since that time he has taken extensive training under Hob Zuppke of Illinois, Allen of Kansas, Spear of Minnesota and Bible of Nebraska. The Squad Front Row—Coach Higgins, Johnson, Mathis, Peek, White, Current, McCoy, Coach Hull. Second Row—Rosakrans, Wright, Kleine, McCoy, Bacon, Artz, Story, Bates. Third Row—Oellrich, Aitken, Russell, Lyell, Jewell, Mooney, Bor-renpohl. Page 18

In the struggle with Peru the second stringers played nearly the whole game for Tecumseli and came through with the score, 56 to 0, in the Indians favor. The Bobkittens were in a somewhat run-down condition after a trip to Omaha the week previous. The Plattsmouth Game was a hard-fought battle played on what seemed to be a concrete field. Tecumseh was not able to score but was able to keep their opponents on the right side of the chalk line. The Auburn Game was entered with a great deal of feeling on both sides and Tecumseh held the edge 13 to 12 until in the last minute of play when Auburn’s illustrious end intercepted a pass which resulted in a touchdown for Auburn. Our chances of the Southeastern Championship now spent, it seemed that we had nothing left to fight for. But the old Tecumseh spirit remained predominant and we went into the last game on Thanksgiving Day with lots of spirit and held Pawnee’s strong team to a 6 to 0 score. Story, Tecumseh scoring ace, was troubled all season with a back that persisted in getting all cramped up on the shortest notice. Captain White sustained a broken nose throughout the season. White’s leadership and splendid defensive game lead this team to put forth their best in many a crisis. The season, though not a winner, can be considered successful. “Chuck” “Tuggle” “Melvin” “Brick” “Merl” ‘Hig” Mooney Russell Wright McCoy Peek “Babe” “Jaudy” “Dutch” “Johnny” Story Mathis Oellrich Johnson Page 20
