Most of the 1926 football squad was lost to W. H. S. by graduation. The 1926 season began with four letter men and three first string men who had not yet won a right to wear a block “W.” This nucleus was further strengthened by the addition of Lamson, a hard plunging back. The remainder of the squad was composed of inexperienced men, all of camparatively light weight. Although the team did not succeed in registering a win, W. H. S. may be proud of the season's showing as every game was hard-fought and the '‘never-give-up” spirit of Westwood prevailed. October 2—Westwood, 0: Modoc, 12 This was the first game of the season played in Westwood against the old rivals, Modoc. This game was hard fought and more nearly even than the score would seem to indicate. October 9—Westwood, 6; Modoc, 13 This game was played in Alturas. The Westwood boys were determined to even the series with Modoc but fate seemed against them. This game was very exciting, being won by Modoc in the last few minutes of play. D. Chipman made the touchdown for Westwood on a recovered Modoc fumble. October 23—Westwood, 6; Redding, 13 This game was the fastest one played during the whole season, the weather being just right for football. There was doubt as to the outcome until the final whistle blew. Lofstedt made the only touchdown for Westwood by returning a punt from midfield through the entire Redding team. The line plunging of Lamson featured the game. November 25—Westwood, 0; Susanville, 27 Our boys journeyed to Susanville for the game during a rain and snow storm. The gridiron was covered with water, consequently it was a game of slip and slide. Our team was outweighed by many pounds and we were unable to push through their line for a touchdown. Thus the football season ended. Twenty-five
