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

 BASKETBALL Joel Hull has conducted a commendable season of athletics during the past year, both as a valued assistant to Mr. Higgins in football and with his major sport, basketball. Although this was the first year for basketball and the material was green, Coach Hull's team showed up remarkably well in competition with neighboring schools. Mr. Hull obtained his experience and schooling at Wesleyan University and since then has taken coaching under Spear of Minnesota and Bible, Black and Schulte, all of Nebraska. Basketball, being a new sport in the Tecumseh High School, gained very little prestige during its infant year However, the feeling is entertained that a great deal has been accomplished in this line by Coach Hull. The percentage of games won was slightly below the 50% mark, but the team worked under the handicap of having no suitable place for practice. Tom Aitken was elected honorary Captain at the close of the season by a vote of the letter men. The following men made and were awarded their letter: Aitken, Story, White, Oellrich, Hendrix, Floerke, Wright, and Gould.
