The virtues of this past edition of Wildcat gridsters can never be sufficiently lauded. Their fighting spirit, school loyalty, and co-operation throughout the past season, both on the playing field and off, will always linger in the minds of the Wild- cat fans. Participants in 9 games, the proteges of Coaches McDonald and Vecera won 4, lost 2, and tied 3. In competition with Tri-Valley opponents, the Wildcats finished strong to tie for 4th place honors, with a .572 percentage. A squad of veterans and ardent recruits were speedily conditioned, under the capable guidance of their coaches, for their initial tilt with Gridley. The Wildcats made an impressive opening by overwhelming the Yellowjackets 26-6. The Wildcats continued their victory drive by outmudding Garnett 7 to 0 on a football field so muddy that it resembled a freshly ploughed field. The Wildcats, fighting like their namesakes, tied their next two games, with Eureka and Neodesha, but they lost to an overpowering Fredonia team with a sting- ing defeat of 19-0. Journeying to Cherryvale the Wildcats enjoyed the easy defeat of the Cherries on their own muddy gridiron, 33-6. It should be mentioned here that during the whole football season not more than one or two games were played on a dry field. Meeting another league opponent, the Wildcat eleven lost to Humboldt 25-0. The Wildcats did not cross the chalk stripe for one point that night, With renewed vigor the Wildcats then tackled the mighy Emporia eleven on the local gridiron to battle it out to a draw with a score of 7-7. No amount of fight or spirit stored up by the Burlington Wildcats could stand up before the onslaught of the Yates Center Wildcats when they met the Burling- ton eleven on Yates Center's field. The Yates Center strong arm crew snowed under their old Turkey Day rivals 30-7. Fifteen members of this magnificent squad will be lost by graduation this year, leaving a large gap in the Wildcat squad, but it will be ably filled by the up and coming underclassmen. 19 ,'Zf?
