The 1938 grid Season started off with a bang in the game with Pip-esitone on September 23. with Tracy being victorious. Redwood Falls play ed here on September 30. A large crowd was on hand to witness the dedication of the new, lighted field and to see if Tracy could stay undefeated: Tracy played a superb game andb stayed unconqueralble. The rest of the season went rather quickly with Windom, Slayton, and Springfield playing here on succeeding Fridays. On October 28, Coaches Raasch and Burke took the team to Canby, and th-ere was a battle royal of passing and touchdowns. The next game, with St. James on November 4, was another victory for the Tracy Scrappers. The last game of the season, the annual battle with Marshall on Armistice Day was a rather disappointing affair with Marshall winning 20 to 0, but that isn't :the whole story of the game. Since MaTSh3ll did not Play enough games in Little Ten competition, Tracy received the Little Ten trophy. A lot of credit belongs to the boys for a good season. November 29-Minneota-18-13.
