, l yi., .crm IEE Sli-IT' naetet tn'v'f52 K Z Z!! In the last quarter Fairmont High nearly made a touchdown. Booth was substitute for Mitchie. He received a punt on the forty-five-yard line and car- ried it to Normal's twenty-yard line. Knight again gained and we had fifteen yards to go, but a penalty for off side and the tightening up of the Normal line stopped the Blue and White. The game was more of a family affair. and players of both teams kidded each other from start to finish. The quarters were 8-10-12-15 minutes. ' NOVEMBER 13 Fairmont West Side O-Fairmont East Side 0 Friday the thirteenth was the annual meeting of two bitter rivals, namely: the East Side High and Fairmont High School. The field was covered with 21 three-inch coat of thick mud, which greatly hindered both teams, but the loyal rooters from each school and the townspeople were all pleased with the type of football displayed. The game was played to a scoreless tie for three quarters. then a reserve play, a lateral pass, by Fairmont netted them a touchdown. The referee ruled that the pass was not completed according to the rules: therefore, the ball was brought back. In the first half the Icemen played an offensive game, but came back in the second half with a defense that rightly should have won the game. In some stages Fairmont High completely outplayed East Side in punting. Spadafore never punted better in any previous game. Several times he booted the wet pigskin far down the field away from his goal when it was threatened. East Side was given an easy victory by the dope, but even if Fairmont did not win by regulation rules, they earned a moral victory. They did the unexpected. This was the fifth annual clash of the two Fairmont schools. Their record is as follows: F S 1921- . H. ..,.....,.... 14 E. S. H. S ...,..,...,,, 7 1922-F. H. S .........,,.. O E. S. H.

O 5 2 21 Fairmont 20-Grafton 0 Fairmont High won its last game of the season very easily from the Smoky City lads. Fairmont lived up to its old record by holding the Grafton play- ers in their own territory most of the time. The game was featured by long, wide sweeping end runs, which netted all their touchdowns. Kirchman scored for Fairmont in the initial period. After a 30-yard end run by Kirchman, Spadafore kicked goal-7-0. Fairmont came back in the second half with renewed fight. Knight received the kickoff and returned it 15 yards, followed by a 20-yard run by Spadafore. On the next play Kirchman carried it over after an end run. Agrippe missed oal. g Spadafore scored the final touchdown when he received a pass and ran 35 yards through the entire Grafton team. Spadafore kicked goal-20-0. Knight, Linger, G. Davis, E. Davis. Hammond, Jones, Fisher and Tork played their last game for Fairmont High. Page 98 w, 'l!.L., lin- v

i V WILLIAM KIRCHMAN Kirchman started the year as regular guard, but was later shifted to a reserve position. The fans will remember several incidents when Coach Ice Sent him into a game and he would drop two or three through the basket without touch- ing the rim. Billy has one more year in the Polar Bear's uniform, and we expect him to lead the team through to a successful close, . DOMINICK AGRIPPE Agrippe was a dependable reserve, who did very good work when he was called upon. His position was at the forward post, and he had the reputation of always having the same amount of iight at all stages of the game. This is Agrippe's Junior year, and we will see him again at his favorite position next year. We have a very valuable man in this athlete. FRED GLOVER The stocky guard, regular on the Cubs and reserve on the Bears, is a veteran when it comes to playing a good defensive game. He is a cool, cautious player. who always takes his time before going into action. Glover will be with us next year and will be out for the team. WILLIAM SCHIMMEL Schimmel played a guard position on the Cubs. He is a good floor man and an accurate passer. Bill is a good shot, cool player, good sport, and we are sorry to see him leave this year. Page 100 --v-,. - 1 .,,s I ,.aiMK.m. na Ji' 5
