The Central machine, heavy Wi- and fast as it was, was too much for the Westporters' best efforts, and a 12 to 0 score 'ji in Central's favor was the result. ' :' Northeast was the next encounter. For three quarters it looked as though nerve 1: would carry us through, but the Northeasters crossed the Westport goal line three ': times successfully, winning the game by a score of 19 to 0. West Side Junior High was next, and at times the game looked threatening-as though Westport might meet defeat at their hands. In the last period two passes ':,1 were completed for touchdowns, defeating West Side 14 to 0. 11:1 Again we met Central, and again the blue and red emerged with a clean record. 1: This game is memorable for the march down the field by Westport after the kick-off. I: ln the third quarter, however, the Central giants plunged through the Westport :. line until it was nearly wrecked. In the last quarter, with the score 12 to 7, Westport id' woke up. The ball was in dangerous territory for Central throughout the quarter, 8 and the gun sounded with a ten-yard pass over the Central goal line, which if com- :- pletcd would have been a 13 to 12 victory for Westport. The game was lost in the F race against time. 9 The last game of the season was West Side on the Gillham Held. It was the one 1: game above all that the team felt confident could be won easily. This, coupled with I: the fact that the team had undoubtedly been worn down by constantly meeting teams : of superior weight, accounted pretty largely for this 7 to 6 defeat. :, THE MEMBERS OF THE TEAM:-Laugeson, Glick, Elsberry, Mr. Laury-Coach, 1' Stock, Berry, Dunn, McCurdy, King, Wachter, Young, Griiiith, Foster, Bresina, Weir, Cochran, Roberts, Traub, Broylc, Hood, Hathaway. 1 lg!
