QQOZARK GLORY 'Z7QQ UWM!! At the first of September there were few hopes that Mayfield would develop a winning football team. Material was scarce and that at hand was green. In spite of these odds the team was rapidly whipped into shape for the first game of the season with the Southern Presbyterian University at Memphis, Tennessee. Little need be said of this game. While it was a walk-a-way for the University, yet it served as a trying place for our united squad. I-Iere also lessons were learned which proved of benefit in later encounters. The next game was played at Carbondale against the Southern Illinois Teachers College. Having had difficulty in crossing the mighty Father of Waters the squad reached Carbondale barely in time to don their uniforms and go to the gridiron. As a result of this fact the Carbondale team scored three touchdowns in the first ten minutes of play. This condition did not last, however, for the Bruins warmed up and neither side scored in the remaining three quarters, the game ending' 18 to 0 in :favor of Carbon- dale. Stung and deeply chagrinned by these defeats the Bruins determined to avenge themselves. This they did on October 15 when they defeated Flat River junior College to the tune of 26 to 7. On October 24, the annual Home Coming Day, the 'Bruins met the Murray Kentucky State Teachers College on our local field. Again the score did not show how hotly the game was contested nor how evenly matched the two teams really were. ln the next game, played with Hall Moody junior College at Martirf, Tennessee, another defeat was registered, 19-O. - , For the last game of the season the squad met the Flat River junior College on its home field. The Bruins hoped to gain a victory in this last struggle and the whole team played superior ball, but, fighting against odds not under their control, the best they could do was a nothing to nothing tie. Due to the extremely hard schedule the season does not appear very successful when balancedin the loss and gain column. Yet, when we measure it by that standard of clean athletics, true sportsmanship, we may truthfully say that the 1926 season of :football at Will Mayfield was a success. Much credit is due the Cubs for their invaluable help in the development of our team this year. Some of them will undoubtedly be back next year in the role of regulars. They have truly demonstrated, in the two games they played, their ability to hold down first string berths. 'Their first game, played with St. Vincents High School at Perryville, was lost after a hard fight had taken place. ln the next game they determined to balance defeat with victory and, as a result, Oran High School was overwhelmed by a score of Z5 to 7. The members of the Cub squad this year were: Orville Kay, Willis Stewart, Ivan Bidewell, Burns Graves, W. E. Sutterrield, Crawford Reynolds, Robert McGlothlin, Luther Winchester, Zahn Wells, Paul Cooper, and Tharon Stallings. RESULTS OF GAMES Opponents W. M. C.
