Determination and desire highlighted the 1968 fall sports l campaign which at times resulted in glory and other times in defeat. The varsity football team opened its season with great expectations which soon faded as WHS finished tenth in the Mississippi Valley Conference CMVCJ. The only moment of glory for the varsity was a victory over Iowa City, 20-19. However, they dropped homecoming to Assumption, 7-0, and the traditional game with Central, 68-7. The sophomores had a little more success, but not much. The Falcons defeated Assumption, 'I4-0, East Moline, 45-13, and gained a relatively unknown win when Iowa City for- feited to West, 1-0, for using an illegal player. Resulting in a more successful season was the fall track squad which finished first in the Quad-City and MVC cross- country track meet. The outstanding feature of the track season were the sophomores who finished 12-0 in dual meets, first in the MVC fall track meet and the MVC and Quad-City cross- country meets. Also successful was the girls' tennis team which finished undefeated in singles competition, 4-0, 3-1 in doubles, and first in the Quad-City Tennis Tournament. The boys' tennis team was not as fortunate, failing to win one meet and finishing O-5 for the fall. But, probably, the most successful season came from the boys' golf team which won the Quad-City Golf Champion- . ship in fabulous style.
