K- I at c at -414 ffm FOOTBALL '38 With the first call to practice early in September, it looked from the first that Troy High would have a good football team. The team, under the leadership of Coach Dildy, was built from five of last year's letter men. A full month was required for fin- ishing out the team and then it looked as if one player was as good as the other. The Orange and Blue drove hard from the start by whipping Auburn 13 to 7, which was the first team it played. The next game also proved to be a victory when we whipped Wetumpka 13 to 0. The following week was one of hard work for we were to meet our old rival, Andalusia. We defeated them 19 to 0. We also defeated Louisville 19 to 0 the following week. We then began our out of town games by defeating Union Springs 13 to 0. Luverne was our next victim and we defeated them 20 to 0. Our hardest game was against Eufaula, when they de- feated us 34 to O. Our next game was forfeited by Marianna 1 to 0. This put us in good shape for the game Thanksgiving when we defeated Ozark 18 to 0. This was one of the most successful seasons Troy High has ever had, and with the pros- pects for next year we expect even greater success. Page Fifty
