This year's football practice started much as it has in years gone by, with all the stiff joints, lame musclse, sore, blistered feet, etc., except that there was something in the air, something which seemed to put the boys through their paces with more pep and spirit. This spirit, combined with the hard work of Coaches Thomas and Rathbun, produced a team that will be long remembered in the football history of Whitehouse High School. The first game was with 'Wayne here. The boys really got started this game and ran up the highest score for a football game in W. H. S. in the last four years. Off tackles, reverses, sweeps, guard bucks and passes were combined in an attack which netted a score of 42-0. The following Friday the boys traveled to Liberty Center for a game in their lighted stadium. Liberty had a very scrappy team, and they gave the Tigers quite a run before the final whistle blew. The Liberty boys had the ball on the one-foot line as the result of a penalty, but in four tries they failed to push it over. On every play tried, the whole Whitehouse team rose up and moved the Orange and Black team back. After the storm had passed Whitehouse ,walked off the field with their second victory in two starts, 6-0. The touch-down coming early in the first period with Wilson scoring on an off tackle. Next in line was Holland. The boys had evidently been scouted at Liberty Center by the Holland team for they strengthened their line to hold off our crashing formation. After a few plays the team found they could.n't go through the line, so they went around it. The results being Struhsaker scoring twice and Wilson once for a score of 19-6. On Friday, Oct. 10, the team traveled to Swanton in quest of their fourth victory. The teams seemed to be very evenly matched in weight and height. The field was very muddy and softg but that didn't slow the Tigers up much. The first half saw Whitehouse score three times, twice on reverses with Struhsaker scoring and once when Bucher intercepted a pass and raced 60 yards for a touch-down. The rest of the game was pretty much in favor of Whitehouse, as they threatened to score twice. The final gun sounded with a score of 18-8. This being the fourth straight win of the season The next Friday Whitehouse traveled to Wauseon. All was merriment on the way for the boys were out after their fifth game in five starts. After everyone had pulled and tugged his suit on, the coaches convinced us that Wauseon was going to be no pushover. They also made it clear in our minds that if we wanted to win, we had to take charge from the beginning. This we proceeded to do, the sum total being 19-0. The touch-downs were scored in the first and second quarters. Struhsaker and Bucher crossing the goals with the pigskin.
