IN REMINISCING WE FOUND THAT THESE SCENES STAYED WITH US: THE FLASH OF THE CO-CAPTAINS LEADING THE TEAM ON THE FIELD, THE DULL PING WHEN PIGSKIN MEETS A TOE, CHALK LINES, CLEATS THROWING MUD IN THE AIR, THE BLAST OF THE NERVE SHATTERING OVERTONES OF THE ANNOUNCERS, THE SMELL OF NEARBY BURNING LEAVES, THE CLASSY BAND PARADE AND FORMATIONS, GLAMOROUS FRESHMEN IN FURS, THE SHRILL OF THE REFEREE'S WHISTLE, THE GROAN OF THE PENALTY, AND THE ROUSING CHEERS AS THE TIGERS LEAVE THE FIELD AFTER ANOTHER VICTORY. FROM THE OPENING PRACTICE, WITH SEVENTY-FIVE BOYS REPORT- ING, UNTIL THE FINAL WHISTLE OF THE SEASON, THE FAMOUS HORSLEY RAZZLE DAZZLE ECHOED OVER GRANGE FIELD AND SHADOWED THE LITTLE SEVEN AS THE I940 TIGERS SWEPT THROUGH THE SEASON UNDEFEATED TO THEIR THIRD CONFER- ENCE TITLE IN FOUR YEARS. SIX TIMES IN A ROW A FINAL WHISTLE FOUND THE TIGERS' GOAL LINE UNCROSSED. NINE TEAMS SCORED ONLY A TOTAL OF I9 POINTS AGAINST A STRONG TIGER DEFENSE. WITH A FAST STEPPING BACKFIELD BEHIND A POWERFUL LINE SUSTAINED BY ADEOUATE RESERVES, A TOTAL OF I94 POINTS WERE PILED UP IN NINE GAMES. A NUMBER OF THE TIGERS FURTHER DISTINGUISHED THEMSELVES WITH INDIVIDUAL HONORS. TWO BOYS WERE NAMED TO THE ALL-STATE TEAM ANDPTWO MORE WERE GIVEN ALL-STATE HON- ORABLE MENTION. FOUR OF THE ELEVEN CHOSEN FOR ALL-CON- FERENCE BY COACHES WERE TIGER REGULARS. THREE OF THESE FOUR WERE PICKEDBY THE DAILY NEWS FOR THE LITTLE SEVEN ALL-CONFERENCE TEAM, AND TWO WERE NAMED TO THE ALL- CHICAGO DISTRICT TEAM, WHICH TAKES IN ALL THE BIG CHI- CAGO TEAMS. A BEAUTIFUL TROPHY, SHOWN AT THE RIGHT, WAS PRESENTED TO MR. ROBERTS BY THE CO-CAPTAINS, BOB WHITAKER AND CLINT YARBROUGH, AT THE CLOSE OF THE SEASON AS THE STUDENT BODY CHEERED ITS CHAMPIONS. 30
