FOOTBALL Forty-three husky hard-hitting pigskin packers turned out to try for a position on the 1938 football team. This was the largest turnout in the history of Westwood High School and gave Coach Maxey a big headache trying to pick out a first eleven. At the end of the season the Lumberjacks had made a name for themselves as you can see by reading the following news accounts of the 38 Grid season results: Chico, Calif., Sept. 24.—Westwood's untried grid machine rolled down from the mountains today and rang up a 12-6 victory over the Chico B's. Dunsmuir, Calif., Oct. I.—The hard playing Lumberjacks from Westwood held the Dunsmuir Tigers to a 12-12 tie today, despite the loss of Johnson, Knecht and D. Gian- nini through injuries received in the Chico game. Westwood, Calif., Oct. 8.—The Braves from Alturas struck a heavy blow when they beat the Lumberjacks 13-7 on the Westwood gridiron today.
