Football The close of the 1936 football season saw only the loss of three veterans and everyone was predicting the big things for the team of 1937. But no one knew the unforseen things held in store for the 1937 season. When fall rolled around Coach Jordan found himself with only one veteran backiield man. In reconstructing the backheld he was forced to weaken his line with green material. With very little time lie whipped the team into shape to send it into the 1937 season. Mr. Jordan deserves much credit for the zeal and spunk he showed in going ahead in face of such conditions.
