The Whitehouse Tigers returned to the gridiron after a vacation of three years. The new coach, Carl Campbell, call- ed the first practice September 18. A large group of boys turned out for the first practice. After a week of practice some found the going tough and the squad was narrowed doin to 24 boys. The practice game with Lambertville proved to be a hardship for our team because of the loss of Don Rupp for the rest of the season. Our first game was with Delta. Although the field was muddy and it rained thruout the game, the boys played a good game, but were nosed out 13-12. The second game of the season was with Liberty Center. They showed a fast offense and beat the Tigers 57-O. The following week we traveled to Gibsonburg for an afternoon game. Despite the fact that our boys were much smaller they put up a stiff battle. Gibsonburg 53, W.H.S. 6. During the season many of the fellows suffered in- juries. In a practice game with Monclova Heminger suffered a broken arm. Ohter injuries that were sustained were a dis- located shoulder by Smith, 'Newton was in an accident, Ritenour, Kosch, and Kern were nursing leg injuries. ' A six man game with Waterville proved to be fatal to W.H.S. because of the lack of many of the regulars. White- house was badly defeated 44-O. Next game was with Sylvania. Both teams put up a good b8tt1G. Sylvania 50, W.H.S. 12. The last game of the season was played at Swanton. Four Seniors played their last game for W.H.S. It was a rugged battle all the way. Swanton came out on top 20-6. With most'of this years' squad returning to the grid- iron next fall me are positive that W.H.S. will be well prepresented on the gridiron next year c 'fa . N
