1--l i-I ATHLETICS FOOTBALL Playing the early season games against exceptionally strong opponents, Westfield's 1933 -grid machine which lost eight latter men of the previous year by graduation failed to get off to much of a start offensively until late in the .season's grind. In their delbut the Fletchermen made a splendid showing against a powerful Marion eleven but were defeated 7 to 0 and then lost 'by larger scores to Columbus and 'South- pont, two teams that were -undefeated throughout the entire season. The gridiron com- binations of rthese schools 'were rated as among the strongest in the state and the Fletch- ermen's efforts were really worthy of much credit-more than the actuall received as a comparison of scores of other schools bore out. However, the Green and White came more into their half of the campaign with a trio of tie games and a win in Out of a schedule of nine enigagements Westfield met in three and ended with a victory. Through-out the season Westfield was regarded as an aggregation while -the offense was ralther :weak .during the Five Westfield men were named on -the 1933 all-county dall, Edwards, Martin, and Powell. This was a rather large quota of Shamrock men 'ln view of the -fact that -four schools of the covunlty were playing football.

But, after having lost steam in mid-season, the Fletchenmen flashed ,back into running order stronger than ever in the I-Iamillt-on County Basketball Tourney. In this event West- field, playing a superior type of ball, swept aside supposedly stronger quintets to end up in the runner-up position. In recognition of outstanding 'performances in this event Ken- dall and Edwards were awarded all-county first team berths at center and guard respectively while Lassiter was named as an all-county fonward on the second team. The impetus gained at the county affair carried on throughout the remainder of the net campaign, al- though it was employed less effectively than at first. From a total of twenty-two engagements, including three county tournaments and one sectional battle, Westfield won seven and lost fifteen. 'Better than half of the casualties resulted from close shaves with a difference of five -points or less in the final count. Westfield scored a total of 432 points against 489 collected by opponents. Likewise, -the Shamrock reserves also had their ups and downs ibut turned in a final card of eight victories and ten losses for the season.
