Review of the Club Football Season

THE :first week in October, the club coaches ca ll ed their teams together and found there was a great deal of va luable material pre se nt. This year Father Jennings was appointed coach of the Macks in order to see if their losing streak could be stopped. The Blnkes a lso boasted a new coach, w ho came from the far-off state of Texas, namely Coach Snow. From the east came another new face among the club coac hes. Mr. Underhill. It was he who turned out the w inning team for this season The Dwights repeated again this season in bringin g home t he bacon, but only after a hard fight with the Macks and Blakes. Usually the club teams are not evenly divided, but this seaso n found all teams with about the same c lass of material.

The first game brought the B lakes and Dwights together, and dmin g three he ct ic quarters both teams showed the lack of practice. During the la st few minutes of p lay the Dwights intercepted a Blake pass and made the only score of the game, thus bringing the first victory home to the last year's champions.

A week later, the Macks met the Blakes and surprised the entire sc hool by winning their :first game in severa l seasons by a score of 12 to 6. The Macks showed the other teams they were to be feared throughout the season becau se of their excellent line plays which brought gains every time they were used on the Blakes.

The third game brought the two leading clubs together and the Dwights won an easy game from the Macks. During the first h alf, the Dwights ran wild over their opponents and rolled up 19 points. The Ma cks seemed to be asleep and nearly eve ry time the Dwights had the ball they made a score. During the second half, they woke up but were unable to score, and the game ended in a 19 to 0 victory in favor of the Dwights.

A week later, the Dwights again defeated the Blakes by a score of 13 to 0. The work of Stoler and Boudeman showed that the Dwights were on their way to another championship. However, during this game the Blakes showed some wonderfu l plays and much iniprovement over their last game.

The Blakes surprised the school by defeating the Macks when Bloch took a Mack pass out of the air and ran for a touchdown and also the only score of the ga me. Dming the last few minutes of play the Macks u se d everything they had, but failed to move the Blake line.

The Dwights with the championship under their belt s, pl aye d the la st game with the Macks and expected an easy victory, but a. II of a sudden the Macks deYe loped a fight that was unbeatable and they left the surprised Dw ight s far behind Eve ry ti me the Dwights reached the Mack goa l line the Macks stiffe ned and turned them back. Then late in the game the Macks marched down the field once more and this time, Summers carried the ball over for the first score of the season across the Dwights' goal li11e. A minute later, Summers again went through the line for the extra point. This was not all of the scoring because Stewart J. was ca ug ht behind his own goal line shortly afterward and a safety was the result. This closed the seasort 's most inte resting club game, w ith a score of 9 to 0 in favor of the Mack's.
