Smelter town field October loth. Bill Kelly, star quarterback and next year’s Captain, was injured. Lawrence Recordon, starring at end. took over Kelly’s duties and proved himself a capable field general for the rest of the season. Winslow 2b—Holbrook 2. A light but somewhat inexperienced Holbrook Roadrunner eleven was downed by the Bulldog Pigskinners October 29th. Winslow 14—Flagstaff 19. Winslow’s encounter with Flagstaff November 5th, was the most prominent event on our athletic calendar. Two breaks in the second quarter gave the Eagles as many touchdowns. Although they were in a demoralized state, the Bulldogs rallied, scoring twice. But as fate would have it the gun ended the greatest battle seen on our field in many years. Winslow 6—Prescott 7. The Bulldogs, followed by an enthusiastic crowd of rooters, journeyed to Prescott on Armistice day for the annual skirmish. Winslow outplayed the Badgers throughout, starting three offensives that placed the ball within the ten yard line; but each attempt for a score was checked by a small but scrappy Prescott line. A lucky Prescott pass gave the Badgers s’x noints, and the successful conversion for the extra point gave them the victory. Winslow 39—St. Johns 0. A confident array of St. Johns gl iders were trampled under a smashing Winslow attack November 19th, when the locals ran wild. Lawrence Recordon and Augustine Hernandez set off most of the fireworks with their sensational playing. Winslow 2b—W'lliams 0. A light but fast Williams eleven was smothered by the Bulldogs in their last game of the season, November 24th. A dazzling aerial attack coupled with speedy end plays completely bewildered the visitors, and resulted in our lopsided victory. Thus closed a rather discouraging yet altogether successful football season. Captain Carter and Coleman Savage landed positions on the ALL-NORTHERN Arizona team. Carter was also given honorable mention for the ALL-STATE eleven. Our conference average stood at 500%. Although disheartening defeats were experienced, they were moral victories because of the ever present sportsmanlike attitude shown by Bulldog athletes. Page Nineteen

iFmithall Winslow High School’s football season got under way September the 4th, when about forty young stalwarts answered the gridiron call. Coaches J. B. Wilson and Glen Olmsted, backfield and line mentors respectively, welcomed the return of eleven lettermen for the team’s nucleus. Because of the light material on hand both coaches can not be given too much credit for the showing made by a fast backfield and a strong forward wall. Generally speaking, most of our plays were built around Captain Robert Carter, fullback, John LaZear, and Coleman Savage in the line. Modified Notre Dame and Warner formations were used as a part of this year’s strategic play. Winslow 0—Gallup 0. The first game of the season was played on our field September 24th, with Gallup. Many fumbles and otherwise futile efforts marred the game because of pre-season form shown by both teams. Winslow f —Jerome 6. Displaying a brilliant brand of football, Winslow held the powerful Jerome Muckers to a six to six tie, the only team to cross the Champion’s goal line this year. Captain Bob Carter played a great game, backing up the line in heroic style. Winslow 0—Clarkdale 14. A lucky pack of Clarkdale Wolves took advantage of erroneous Winslow playing and turned back the championship thirsty Bulldogs on the Page Eighteen

. « • , 10 Basketball The curtain of the big Bulldog Basketball show was pulled in Mid-December, with a series of non-conference practice games figuring in the first act. Coach Wilson had only three returning lettermen, including Capt. Ernest Chilson, upon which to pin his hopes; but soon found that valuable men were to be had in James Curtis, center and next year’s captain, Lawrence Recordon, Winn Hall, Robert Brennan, Ralph Blankenship, Augustine Hernandez, Larry Lee, and Newell Rhoton. The boys were off to a slow start, but quickly developed into a smooth working machine that won eleven tough games and dropped seven. This season’s tilts seemed to be extremely closely contested ones. Our hair-raising game with Holbrook is still in the limelight. And speaking of revenge, Winslow snatched the Northern Arizona Tournament Cup right from under the Roadrunner’s noses by one of those traditional one point margin games. There were several reasons why our casaba tossers glorified themselves by defeating such teams as the Phoenix Indian School. First of all, the loyal support rendered by the Student Body and townspeople spurred them onward. A hard-working coach, .1. B.irrus Wilson, made a non-stopable team out of the scant possibilities on hand. Recordon, winner of the award given to the most valuable player, and Capt. ChMson were a great pair cf forwards. Curtis, center, starred at his position and should do wonders next year. Ralph Blankenship, guard, played a a faultless brand of ball throughout the season. A. Hernandez his running mate, landed a regular berth at the other guard position. Although he was but a Sopohomore, Hernandez won the medal for the highest accuracy in caging free-throw shots.
