We were primed for this game since it was our first battle of the season and we were “rarin ” to go. The inexperienced Catlin eleven was no match for the Tigers and went home on the short end of the count. WESTVILLE 13—SPRING VALLEY 6 What a battle! It was a bitterly contested struggle from start to finish with our boys scoring all their points in the first half and Spring Valley scoring on a long pass in the second half. WESTVILLE 20—MONMOUTH 0 The boys traveled over two hundred miles to play this one. After the long trip, the boys were pretty tired but recovered themselves and went out to soundly trounce the upstate eleven. WESTVILLE 22— HOOPESTON 0 Our ancient rivals, Hoopeston. fell before the onslaught of the Millermen and were humbled 22-0. The Hoopeston gridders were inexperienced this year but should prove a real headache to the Tigers next year. WESTVILLE 26—DEPUE 0 The team played their outstanding game of the season in this one. The line functioned with clock-like precision and the backs ran like scared rabbits to completely out-class the visitors. The team has won five games in a row now. WESTVILLE 6—SI DELL 6 Say, what s wrong here.' Looks like the Tigers were a little over-confident or something. This game was a big let-down compared to their other games. Better luck next year. GEORGETOWN 19—WESTVILLE 0 Ouch! That one really hurt. Completely outplayed, our boys didn’t have any of the spark that carried them through the first part of the season. Let’s forget this one and start out anew next fall. Pane Twenty two

Deary Diary: Head Coach Clayton Miller completed his fourteenth season as mentor of our athletic teams this vear. Coach has built up an enviable record in his long stay at Westville and a great reputation in the coaching circles. Coach Miller is as much a part of Westville Athletics as the football field itself. This year’s team was a successful one, and it was typical of a Miller-coached team. Assistant Coach Peter Chapp is a hard-driving type of coach that is always working hard—drilling fundamentals into the players. Chapp develops the various reserves who form the backbone of the future teams. Chapp is a favorite of all the players and his comments are greatly respected. Co-captains Zigmont Such and Frank Masiokas led this year’s football team. This was the first time in our school’s history that the football team was led by co-captains. Both boys were capable leaders and were liked by their team-mates. The co-captains were backfield men with Such noted for open field running and Masiokas for blocking. Faye Txvcnty-ont

Dear Diary: The “W” Association is a club composed of athletes who have won a letter in anyone of the three major sports—football, basketball, or track. A letter is awarded worthy athletes in the various sports after they have passed the different qualifications. The club is maintained for the betterment of sportsmanship among the various athletes. The meetings are held every first Wednesday of the month throughout the school year. The coach takes charge of the meetings and usually uses the time to point out the various football plays, basketball maneuvers, and other data concerning the teams. All players usually attend the confabs and gather valuable information concerning their opponents. Football and basketball captains are chosen by the lettermen at one of these meetings. It is the wish of the various lettermen in the association to have the club carry on in the future as it has in the past and that the club may grow in number as the years advance. Many alumni, who have been members of this club, can now look back upon it and think of the happy days of their athletic career and envy the present members. Uottotn Row—Kundratus, Starks. Such.
