1925 The 1925 football season entered like the proverbial exit of March from the calendar, and departed thricefold in the manner of its entrance. An early start was given the sport by Coach Lewis, fondly termed by the newspapers, The VVater Tower Mentor , and Captain Charles Ens. The squad went through a vigorous practice that culminated in the engagement with McBride. Therein we drew first blood, albeit the last also, and the victory gave us visions of success.. The touchdown in the 7-O score was made by Andy Gump, and Smith dropkicked the goal. The game was hardily fought, but served to display a number of faults which needed urgent attention. In passing we might mention that McBride finished second in the St. Louis Preparatory League. On October 13th we played the Principia Cadets. Not so good! The score of 13-0 can be attributed in part to our alarming lack of condition that was made evident in the second half, after a brilliant first half in which our chances looked bright. XV e met Roosevelt in the first league game on October 24th. Result 0-O. The out- standing Haw in this meeting was an uncer- tain line. The backtield showed fairly well. Wie lost to Cleveland by 14-0 in a game very closely contested. The enemy scored in the first and third quarters. Several times we approached the goal, once to the one- yard line, and were held there for four downs! Likewise, the team proved a stone- wall to Cleveland when it came exceedingly closeg with four tries from the six-inch line they failed to score! The following Saturday's encounter was postponed because of wet grounds so that our next game was with Central. Again we lost a hard-fought game at 16-O. The kick- ing and receiving of Cameron, the star end, played a large part in our defeat. Although our offense threatened at times, Central, on the whole, outplayed Yeatman. The game with Soldan will be long re- membered as the classic of the season. VVith tremendous odds against us. the newspapers One Hundred Fourteen predicted slaughter. How the team C0nt1'a- dicted the tale is history. The headlines of the morning paper aptly tells the tale: Re- juvenated Y eatman Team Holds Powerful Soldan to 13-84Score. The team that took the field on that day was not a team tuned for defeat. Possessed of a grim determina- tion, it shook the foundations of Soldan's prestige. It earned one touchdown, a break of the game gave it the other. In the last quarter, Korkoian so tackled a Soldan back that he dropped the ballg Spuering got it. outdistanced his pursuers and made our touchdown. VV'ith the game rapidly drawing to a close, and the pigskin near the enemy's goal, Soldan committed a play of excellent strategy, though disastrous to our chances. Their quarterback touched the ball over his own line thus making a safety, and so kept the ball on the twenty-yard line until the game ended. The boys who made letters are Charles Ens, Red Smith, Andy,' Gump, Bill Mueller, Russel Steffans, Ronald Horr, Dick Spuering, Irish Neil. Otto Rost, Leland Beider, Ray Noller, Herman Puls. Ray Cooper and Vince' Fehringer. In the back- field, Ens, as Captain, piloted the team skill- fully, and was an exceptionally accurate passer. Smith excelled in, all phases of the game. His worth last year was recognized in the choice of the St. Louis High School All-star team. This season he has been selected for the same position fhalfbackl, and it is a certainty that he deserves the honor. He played every minute of all the games. This has been the second year of football for Gump and Horr. They, with Mueller and Steffans, for whom it was an initial season, have shown great ability at ball carrying and excellent team work. As each has two more years here, they with experience will doubtless become phenom- enal. The ends, Spuering and Neil, have played an excellent game, particularly in de- fensive work. Neil has another year. On the line, in which the improvement game by game has been most marked. the men have shown commendable light. Binder and Cooper have earned letters for the second

Rost, his second year completed, is in line to be a great success in the two seasons he has before him.

In the 1925 team Yeatman had a unit that in the future the student body can look back to with pride. It has improved with each game of the season, all against much heavier teams. The victories in morale at least bal- ance the hard fought defeats. The ,day of football at Yeatman has closed in a fitting and auspicious manner. BASKETBALL TEAM, 1910-1911 1 VV. Kamp R.
