FORT DODGE-WEST West Waterloo and liort .Dodge football fans added another game to their long list of thrilling and spectacular football games played by these two traditional rivals when the Dodgers chalked up a I3-0 win over the Wahawk ball toters. The Dodger victory was due to their brilliant passing attack which scored first for them in the second period and again in the last quarter, Geyer being the passer, with Crouch on the receiving end. West's speci- men plays then began to function, and with Weissman and Penn carrying the brunt of the attack, West scored late in the fourth quarter, when Penn plunged across the goal from the one yard line. Penn's punting was mighty. CHARLES CITY-WEST A confident'West High football team traveled to Charles City to face a supposedly weak team. Charles City, however, upset the dope bucket and the Wahawks to a U-0 tie. The game was rather slow due to the hot day. Throughout the game West battered the Charles City line so as to get within scoring distance, yet lackedthe final punch to score. ln the third quarter, Weissman and Penn advanced the ball to thenve yard line, but an incomplete pass and three plunges lost the pigskin to the Vikings. Westsgoal was never in danger. Penn, Weissman and Brollier looked good for West, while Clammer was outstanding for WASHINGTON HIGH-LWEST' The West eleven gained sweet revenge on Washington by' a score of I4-O, The first touchdown was made in the nrst quarter, and Pennismashed-through for the extra point. In the second period West scored again with two long runs and two passes: The Tigers almost scored with line plunges, but the determined Wahawks stopped them, The whole team de- serves honorable mention, with Penn and Ehrig receivingspecial attention. . MASON CITY-WEST A ' - Q ' When October 24 rolled around, West was put up against the toughest team of the season, Mason City. There were plenty of odds against the Wahawks, but they were out to win. backed by a great Homecoming crowd. The cool night put fighting spirit in the team and pep in the rooters. On account of West's good defense, the Mohawks were kept scoreless during the entire game. ln the second half the Old Rose and Black eluded the Mason City defense, and five clever plays put the ball over the line for a marker for West. lt was the brilliant plunging and passing of Penn to Brollier and Ehrig that netted the seven points. During the few closing minutes of the game the teams see-sawed back and forth, and played rather equally. Penn and Brollier played stellar parts in the game. GRANT HIGH, CEDAR RAPIDS-WEST With the band and the largestlgroup of followers ever to attend an outside game, West went down to Grant High, Cedar Rapids, and completely wiped them off the map. lt was a sensational game for Penn and Brolier, with Penn taking the pigskin for a touchdown on the hrst play of the game. During the entire contest it was just a matter of what West wanted to do with the ball. There was a varied number of plays used throughout the game which showed the strength and power of the Old Rose and Black gridders. NORTH 'lllGll, DES MOINES-WEST A Des Moines team that was never meant to beat West High came from apparently nowhere and won a football game+North High 7-West 6. Two negro boys, Marvin Webb and Edgar Penn. did the scoring. Webb executed the first play by running 64 yards after catching a l'5 yard pass. Penn scoged from the 2 yard line only after a beautiful 37 yard run through off tackle. North scored its extra point on a pass to Cummins. Weissman was hit from behind as he attempted to pass for the' extra point, and West bowed to defeat. . , EAST-WEST East and West renewed their football relationship before a capacity crowd as East held the Old Rose and Black to a scoreless tie. Due to the cold weather, the game was postponed from the customary Thanksgiving Day to the following Saturday. On account of a cold and slippery field, neither team displayed any brilliant offensive, both being content to use defensive tactics. However, in the second half East opened up with a passing attack which brought the ball to the I4 yard line. Here Kolanick threw a pass to Pugh, who dropped the ball as he fell over the goal line. West never threatened .the Trojans' goal. Wagner, Hall, and Pugh looked best for East, while the West honor rol-l included Weissman, Penn, and Sorenson. ' . ' , As the season closed there were several members of the Wahawk team on whom addi- tional glory was heaped. The colors of West were well represented on the All-Northeastern Team with Sorenson, Brollier, Stevenson, and Penn as captain. On the All-State team were Penn and.Sorenson, with Brollier on the second team. 'This is certainly a fine standing of which West is justly proud. ' I .The West High Wahawklets, or second-team, deserve.. much credit for their perseverance and for the hard scrimmagethey afforded the first team. ln their season of six regulation games, they-emerged victor in as many starts! As the season ended, Van Doren was chosen honorary captain. . ' A r Charles City.

Now, that we have successfully anchored our ship in the harbor of West High students, we wish to offer friendly advice to those who in future years will serve on the staff. lt is advisable, so we insist, to appoint everyone to help edit the Annual. for no one can justly be jealous then. We borrowed our pencils. ink, paper, and scissors from the junior High and suggest that you future editors do likewise since they appreciate our trade. Lastly, we advise, suggest, and insist that you begin your work two years. two months and two hours before the date of publication, for that is the keynote to our highly eflicient work.
