FOOTBALL Facing the hardest football schedule that an Arthur Hill team has ever had was the propo- sition that confronted our team this year. The past season was disastrous in the matter of games won and lost, but this fact does not tell the story of the sportsmanship and fighting spirit of the team developed by Coach Smiley Bassett. The first two games of the season, Greenville and Owosso, were lost by scores of 8-6 and 13-6, respectively. Next came Benton Harbor, and our men certainly avenged the defeat of last year by ad- ministering a 6-0 score upon them. In beating Benton Harbor, the Hills humbled a foe far superior to either Greenville or Owosso. Schimmers on the line, Currott, Ross and the Ardussi brothers in the backfield, all gave good accounts of themselves. The veteran eleven of Lansing was next and Arthur Hill lost a bitterly fought contest, 13-0. Lansing possessed one of the speediest backfields ever seen on Merrill Field, and it was not until the second half that these men were able to penetrate the Hill ' s defense. In this game, the team displayed a brand of fight seldom seen, and the work of Norton, Tallon, Schimiegel, and Hart upheld the Hillite prestige. Then came Alpena, and the Hillites, displaying the best football of the season, were the victors by an 8-0 score. Our men won by outplaying and outfighting Alpena all the way, but many penalties kept them to a low score. Hart, Boughner, Ross and W. Ardussi all played good football. Penalties and the breaks of the game against them, tells the story of the Hill ' s loss to Battle Creek, 19-12. At the end of the first half, Arthur Hill came back strongly, outplaying them in all departments of the game, and scoring two touchdowns. Battle Creek ' s third touchdown was luck, pure and simple. Murray and the Ardussi brothers distinguished themselves, and deserve much credit. A gift, nothing more, tells the story of the Muskegon game which ended with a score 6-0 in favor of Muskegon. This team, highly touted, was outfought by the Hills for four quarters. Arthur Hill ' s line was invincible and showed an air-tight defense. In the last quarter Mus- kegon worked the ball to within twelve inches of the Hill ' s goal and then took four downs to put the ball over for a touchdown. On the final down, when the ball came to rest it was six inches from the goal line, but the referee claimed it had been pushed back, and awarded a touch down. There are doubts in the minds of many, however, as to whether the ball went over. Lewis, Hart, Schmiegel, and Tallon were the stars for the Hills. Next came Bay City Central, and although Arthur Hill outplayed them for more than half of the game, they allowed Bay City to get the jump on them at the beginning of the second half, losing 13-6. Bay City ' s first touch down was the result of a seventy yard run and the sec- ond came by straight line plunging with the aid of a 15 yard penalty. The Hill ' s touch down came by straight line plunging. Arthur Hill made a desperate efl ' ort to score in the last min- utes of the game, but fell short of their mar ks. Goldstein and Tallon in the backfield and Snyder on the line all played good football. At Jackson, the Hills were way ofi form and lost 17-7. Credit must be given Jackson, how- ever, for their light, scrappy eleven played good football. Then came the memorable battle with Saginaw in which the Hills allowed Saginaw to get the jump on them in the first few minutes of play. From then on, it was an uphill battle, with the Hillites fighting gamely all the way. Blocked punts and intercepted passes figured large- ly in the final score, 34-0. Arthur Hill put up a wonderful fight, but Saginaw was the strongest team they had faced this season. Tallon, Snyder, Schimmers, Schmiegel and Lewis were the stars.

FOOTBALL— SECOND TEAM The Arthur Hill reserves experienced another very successful season, being managed and coached again by A. G. Dersch of the chemisrty department. Among the opponents defeated were the Flint Mutes, Bay City and Breckenridge, the latter being one of the strongest team in the state in Class B. The only game lost in two years was dropped to Saginaw when the squad had been badly crippled by loss of players. From now on, a little brown jug, with the scores inscribed upon it is to be given to the winning team and the boys are resolved that hereafter it shall be at Arthur Hill.
