RESUH OF FOOTBALL SEABOI The l9k8 football season was the most successful in Trenton's gridiron history. It showed eight victories, one loss, and one tie. A The schedule was a hard one and the orange and black Tigers of Coach Paul Martin came through with flying colors. The team was molded from eight lettermen, several of l9N7's reserves and several freshmen The Trenton Tigers were crowned Suwannee Conference Co-Champions. They also were district champs. Mr. Delegal, president of the Suwannee Conference, awarded the conference trophy. Mr. Finnefrock, sportswriter, awarded the Times-Union Trophy at the annual Rotary Club football banquet. Trenton 0 -- Hastings 0 The season opener was played at Hastings in a sea of mud. Trenton threatened in both halves but the stubborn forward wall of the Spuds kept the Tigers from going across to pay dirt. On several occa- sions the Tigers were on the threshold of scoredom only to have slippery underfooting rob them. Hastings made several threats to smear the Tigers, but the forward wall of the Orange and Black held. Trenton 7 -- Crescent City 6 The second game found the Tigers playing at home. This game was played under the scorching rays of Old Sol that snapped every ounce of the vitality from both.teams. Both teams scored early in the first period, and from then on a plunging duel in the center of the field was displayed by both teams. Trenton 12 -- High Springs 0 0h what a surprise and upset. This was the first game to be played in the conference. Trenton traveled to Lake City to emerge triumphant over her ancient rivals. The game was played on a good fast field and was one of the best played of the year. The Sandspurs fought the locals hard but the Tigers went into the game to defeat Coach Rowell's charges and never did they falter until they had accom- plished their task. Trenton 19 -- Williston 7 This game, formerly scheduled earlier in the season but rained out, was played on Monday night. This proved to be the greatest line plunging game of the season. Twice the Tigers took over on their own 20 yard marker and marched to pay dirt. Although both teams were hampered by freezing weather, they displayed great ability to play football. A fumbled punt resulted in a score for Williston. Here the Tigers hal ed all fur er e forts of the Red and White to score. The half ended 7 to 6 in favor of Williston. The Tigers came back with bared fangs in the second half and clipped the wing and tail feathers for the Red Devils throughout the remaining time of play. Trenton 6 -- Newberry 0 Trenton took the sauce early in the first period, and held Miss Newberry in her own restricted ter- ritory all afternoon. Both lines were stubborn and would not yield. This was the third game in ten days for the Trenton Tigers. Trenton 7 -- High Springs 0 Homecoming! Again the local Tigers turned back eleven Sandspurs. This time the Sandspurs of High Springs brought with them an aerial circus. They gambled with passes from deep in their own territory to mid-field but every play called failed to click. Passes were knocked down and intercepted by the Tigers all afternoon. The locals, early in the first period with line bucks and end runs, accomplished their fifth win of the season. Hbmecoming was a success. Trenton 12 -- Greenville 7 Again the Tigers drank from the cup of victory and conquest. Two passes completed in the last seconds of play proved to be the undoing of a strong north Florida team. The visitors made a bid for victory late in the last period when a big lineman intercepted a fumble and ran ninety-six yards for a touchdown to put the locals behind 7-6. The Tigers came back to score with seconds left to play and kept their undefeated record. Trenton 7 -- Bunnell 19 The game with the St. John's Conference champions proved to be disastrous. Despite this, Trenton gained greatly by the experience of the game, which was far more interesting than the score indicated. Bunnell scored 19 points, but every marker was made through a hard fighting Trenton team. The Tigers playedigreat football in this game and deserved to win, but fate had the cards stacked against them. The great Code says 'hu ble in victory, glorious in defeatn and such a motto could be applied to the Or e and Black after this engagement. .ng Trenton Mk -- Branford 0 The Branford boys fought hard but the Tigers 0ut-c1ggged their opponents. In this game the subs played most of the last half and were amply supplied w1th rain water to keep them cool. Trenton 26 -- Lake Butler 7 This was the game that determined the Suwannee Champions. Coach Martin carried his grid warriors to Lake Butler to avenge a 12-7 lacing handed them the previous year. The locals scored in every period. Ihaly once did the opponents make an exposition that found them in Orange and Black territory. The Lake Butler eleven played against a wall of seven pillars of granite and four mules of stone. This marked an era of good-byes for several Trenton stars, and they displayed great fight and ability in their clos- ing game. Trenton loses the services of Carrol Deen, weeks Deen, Jimmie Davis, Charles Lindsey, Murphy Everett, Arlen Gay, Donald Bass, Malcolm Quincey, Harry Rutledge, and Zack Colson. These boys have covered themselves with glory this year and have come through with flying colors. Keep going, Tigers!
