Football VIRDEN VS HILLSBORO 0-33 Opening the season against a strong Hillsboro team, Virden lost a hard fought battle. Coach McMul1in opened his season with a group of boys who had played very little football. There were only 6 letter-men returning from last year's squad, and these had seen but limited action. Although Virden wasn't in the game as far as the score was concerned, Hillsboro went home with their bumps and bruises. It was a battle all the way with Hillsboro taking the upper hand by a score of 33-0. VIRDEN VS BENLD 0-19 Virden, improved, but still showing their lack of experience, went down to defeat before a big, rough, veteran Benld eleven at Benld Sat- urday night, September 18. ln a game involving many penalties for un- necessary roughness and off-side, Virden again lostahard fought battle. Early in the game, Capt. Boyd was taken from the game with a leg in- jury: there were several other minor injuries received by several mem- bers of the squad and their loss was apparent throughout. Fine defensive work by G. Gazda and I. Nerone kept Virden in the gameg Virden's line also showed much improvement. VIRDEN VS RUSHVILLE 0-25 Virden travelled 80 miles to Rushville to take their third straight defeat of the year. Although Virden was unable to score, they outplayed Rushville throughout the whole game. The score of this game did not show justice to the Bulldogs, because they actually outpointed Rushville in everything but the score. Virden played without several regulars in the lineup. Boyd, Scofield, and Gwinn were on the injured list, and with the help of these fellows in the lineup, the score might have been differ- ent. Hard running by Pickard, Gazda, and Hamilton, and fine and much improved line play, enabled Virden to gain more gound and first downs than Rushville. VIRDEN VS ST. JAMES Z5-0 Virden opened their conference with a Z5-0 decision over St. James Trade School from Springfield. Although rated as underdogs, Virden proved their worth, and they also caused other M.S.M. contenders to sit up and take notice. Virden opened up their scoring when Hamilton gal- loped 15 yards around right end to score. Hamilton then proceeded to plunge three more yards to score the second tally, with Gwinn adding the extra point. ln the third frome Pickard smashed off tackle to score on a five yard canter. In the final frame G. Gazda went ten yards on a reverse to score the final tally. Hard smashing tackles and excellent defensive play by G. Wargo added much strength to Virden's rapidly improving line. Good Luck from PAUL COOK, GROCERIES Compliments of DR. A. E. SEYMOUR 66
