1--Y-THERE? EQQJEEEES---431, IR' TYL.EfL'1934-35 SEASON Our football team certainly showed a marked improvement over last year's recordg not only in games won, but in spirit and teamwork. ' Last year, it will be remembered, Tyler won only one game, 6-O, with Salem, whereas this season she has scored vie tories over Salem and Tanner, and has held most of her other opponents to low scores. ' 'In the opening game with Pennsbore, Tyler was held score visitors to the 14 points they less, but managed to limit the gained in the first quarter. ' At St. Marys, in the game Pleasants countians scored in which Morgan was injured, 57 points, as well as holding the local boys scoreless. The Magnolia team, always the considered too strong for us, not only prevented us from scoring, but also scored 40 points for themselves. ' Tyler certainly surprised Salem to the tune of 15-O, one 40 and one BO yard run, each scoring a touchdown. The West Union tilt wasn't so good. Thirty-one to O in favor of the Doddridge County boys was the final result. Penalties: W,U. -- 126 yardsg Tyler -- O. S1stersv1lle's score against the Red and Black men was a pleasant surprise to the local fans. Fourteen to noth- ing was not so bad against the ancient rivals. The Tanner contest was a good closing for this season. The win was 15-O, in favor of the home boys. sl nl u ng u :L x QL J: J wr W 55 w m wr .. 11' 1. fr .5 K Those lost to the team when the season opens next fall. will be: Ralph Ashenhart, Fredrick Henthorne, Ralph Smith, Bill Tustin, Ingram Morgan, Robert Jackson, and Robert Under- wood. the Not only their loss will cause a temporary decrease in strength of the '55 squad, but also their spirit will be missed. A Tyler's basketball season this year showed considerable improvement over lest year's record, not only in games won, but in improved team work and better cooperation. In contrast to last year's no-win season, Tyler won four games on the 1955 schedule, Of the nine opposing teams, each of which was played twice, were three who far outranked the Red and Black men in size, strength, and in playing ability.

- +F.3fiH?.1'Q E9 E553f53HCDfit3ffi5i ,. . fg - T' This advance over last year shows a strong trend of improvement in the athletic standing of the school. Although Bob Jackson, Ralph Smith and Bob Underwood will be lost to the team when the season opens next year, the remainder of the first string and the substitutes will be left to begin the new season. That plenty of available material will be in the school next year was apparent in the Inter-Class Tournament held March l9 and 2O. Several of the students from the lower classes who scored in the tournament, but who did not come ' out this season, give great promise for next year. The squad will indeed be sorry to lose it's senior mem- bers, Bob Jackson, Ralph Smith and Bob Underwood but others will be steadily pushing forward to fill the wide gaps opened by their departure. Following a comparatively successful football and basketball season, the baseball team has enjoyed a good season. At the time we go to press, CMay l5J the team has won two games, tied one, and lost three. The low scores to which the victors have been held in our losing games were due to the wonderful ball pitched by Wendell HSpinV Baker. Those left on the squad from last year are as follows! William Tustin, David Spencer, Wendell Baker, Jimmie Jones, William Long, Denver Hughes, Howard Pyle and Alden Bullman. New members are: Ralph Ashenhart, Ralph Smith, Junior Kilcoyne, Donald Nolan, Garmen McIntyre, Walter Stealy, ' James Arnett, Alden Howard, John Givens and Raymond Baker, 'Two home games remain yet to be playedg with Cairo and Pullman. One win and one loss is the forecast. Tyler's football and basketball HTH certificates will be awarded by Coach Christie on May 25, the Senior Class Night, to the following boys: FOOTBALL: 'William Tustin, Robert Jackson, Ralph Smith, Ralph Ashenhart, Ingram Morgan, Fredric Long, Howard Pyle, Wendell Baker, David Smith, Lawrence Haught, Carolton Baker, Hughes, Junior Kilcoyne, Alden Bullman, Glover, Manager.
