1 UH ,,4W,.MmtW gi Ga ,, .J - r vi. 'Fot Winning seven and losing two games, We ton had a good season this year, tying for runner-up position in the Valley. With only Waugh, Rissell, and Tomlins re- turning from last year's starting lineup, pre-season dope gave little hope for Coach Halls Valley chances Virgil, Kemp, who was out with injuries last scascn, along' 'v :h Waug'i, Mansfield, Arn- spiger, and Wilson, a newcomer to the Valley, made a light but fast backfield, Veterans Rissell and Toznlins bolstered the forward vnall along witi the new line: Rogers, Hamilton, Tomlins, Knorp, Deets, J. Merrvmaii, liowever, it varied quite often throughout the season. Wellington played host to Blackwell in the opening game. The Sooners couldn't stop Wilson and Kemp, who ran the end at random, with Waugh doing the passing. The final score was 39 .26. by J CK CARSON t 0. Immediately the Crusaders began preparing f r their first league conflict with East, who had ominated the Valley two years. The Crusaders went down through fumbles on a muddy field to defeat, but the game included two brilliant runs of fifty yards by Waugh. A green but stubborn line never quit fighting, although they were no match for the East brawn, The score was 38 to 7. Next was a non-conference tilt with Chilocco Indians, who were as helpless against the Crusa- ders as we were to East, Two regulars, Rissell and Waugh, sat on the bench, because of injuries. The score 39 to 0. Tlee fighting Crimson and White then traveled to Neveland for a thriller that was unsurpassed in Valley competition. It was a see- saw affair vsith Hutchinson drawing first blood, but the Crusaders came back strong with a pass- ing offense that no defentse could stop. When the final gun sounded, they had survived the ordeal

V Our valiant elev ooked for fort er conquesb as they next played h to the Railroaders, who bowed in a sparkling ga ich showed the Cru- saders' speedy running attack. The score was 20 to 0. Wichita North's Redskins were the next foe to venture to Wellington. Their running attack clicked all evening While the Crusaders bogged down hopelessly, and the Redskins made it for four years straight. The final score was 12 to 0. Next the Crusaders met the Vikings of Win- field and defeated them handily for their third Valley victory. Throughout the game Coach Hall used his reserves. The score was 39 to 6. Next the Crusaders met the ElDorado Wildcats and staged a spectacular scoring parade, running up 72 points to 0. Again Waugh made an amazing play as he ripped off a kick-off run back for 94 yards. Kemp, Wilson, and Rogers also sparkled in this fray and the line play was strong on defense. Last the Crusaders met the high riding Ark City Bulldogs in the Turkey day classic, It was a perfect football day with the bleachers jammed, and the most sensational playing displayed all season on both sides. Through the running of Kemp, who twice slipped through the Bulldogs end, and a pass from Waugh to Rogers, the Cru- .27. QVG'fER.l 'S l xl 3 1 ' Z is J, xiii!

Then came their golden opportunity but it was muffed. The Crusaders missed a pass from center which rolled back of the goal line, giving the Bulldogs an automatic safety instead of a touchdown. This made the score 19 to 15 and with this score the game ended. It was a fighting Bulldog eleven that went down, and a determined Crusader eleven that played a heads up game on both defense and offense. Wellington placed three on the All Valley eleven, Waugh, Rissell, and H. Rogersg numerous players were on the Valley and all state second and third teams. To close the season the squad named Jerry Waugh and Bill Rissell honorary co-captains for the year. On December 18, the Chamber of Com- merce honored the entire squad at their annual banquet. The guest speaker was Ernie Quigley. To Coaches Hall and Suran the downtown quarterbacks gave a fifty dollar bill each for their hard work and faithfulness in building another winning team for Wellington High. .-1'
