The season opened with a night game in the Brickie Bowl. For three quarters the Troopers fought in vain against Hobart’s great defensive feats—until the fourth quarter when they managed to push two touhdowns over, one by a quarter-back sneak and the other with a pass from Newton to Humphrey. SEPTEMBER 20,—WIRT. 0; GRIFFITH, 33. Exactly one week after tin- Hobart loss, the Troopers buckled before a powerful Griffith eleven for their second conference defeat of the season. SEPTEMBER 2.r..—WIRT. 19; TOEEESTOX. 0. In this game, with Tolleston's second team, the Troopers had many chances to score, but only three times did they succeed. Given plunged off tackle for the first touchdown, Humphrey converted; Weaver recovered a blocked kick and ran for a second touchdown. Given, taking it on the kickoff, ran all the way for the last. It was a vietorv well earned. OCTOBER 9—WIRT. 18; M ERR I LEVI LEE, 7. Wirt celebrated Its first game in Gleason Field, when the Pirates bowed before their first display of Trooper aggressiveness. Brownawell Page Twenty-four FOOTBALL accounted for the first two touchdowns and T. Italian! for the third. OCTOBER 1C WIRT. 14: WALE ACE. 7. An alert ami vastly improved Wirt eleven unleashed a vaunted aerial attack. Wallace scorched Wirt's green for the first score. Newton threw a pass to Brownawell for the home team's first score, with T. Ballard converting. Brownawell made the final score after catching Newton’s pass, then converted. OCTOBER 2.1—WIRT, 12; TOLLESTON. 7. Exceptional spirit was displayed in the Tolleston game. Ballard sliced around end for the first score. Then Tolleston scored, leaving the score 7 to 6 in their favor, till Ballard again ran around end to score. The Wirt line fought off (numerable Tolleston drives, with almost superhuman strength and courage. JINGLE BY JABO Football is a game that's rough Flaying clean is really tough, Listening to their cries and moans And snapping and popping of your bones.
