OOTBALL started this year with a sizably bunch of fellows working hard to make the team. The absence of a permanent coach at the start made the team a little late in getting into top shape. All of the hardest fought contests were played away from home, making it impossible for the entire student body to support the team when support was most needed. Despite these handicaps the team stood preeminent, not because of actual winnings, but because of the fighting spirit they showed to the last minute of the last game played. The team was coached by Mr. Elfrink and captained by A1 Carter. The work of these two men was unceasing throughout the season, and it was through their ef- forts and the hearty co'dperation of the players and student body that the team gained the reputation of being a hard bunch to stop. ttVitf Laney managed the team, planned an excellent schedule, and helped greatly in making the season a success- ful one for the team. hti-IIIAI; FARM VS. CAL. GOOFS October 1 In the first game of the season the Farmis gridiron machine hit a boulder in the form of the powerful Cal. Goofs, who amassed a score of 35 points against the Farm teams 7. The game was somewhat one-sided from the first, the Farnfs squad finding it impossible to score until the fourth quarter, despite their very clever offen- sive. The game opened with the Goofs receiving the ball. After the pigskin had see-sawed up and down the field several times, the Goofs pushed it over the line for a touchdown and converted. The sec- CARTER BOGART 0nd and third quarters proved the weak- SP'LMAN SCHWE'N ness to be in the Farm,s line, as the Goofs ALEXANDER carried the ball over for three more touch- downs.
