ATHLETIC NOTES
The seniors failed to uncrown the juniors in the
‘ ‘Turkey Day” clash and as a result of it the champions
are still the champions. For three consecutive years
now the juniors have ruled supreme over the class
series and because of the last victory they can now
call the big silver loving cup “mine, all mine.” The
battle was waged in a downpour of rain. It had rained
all of the night before. There was so much water
standing on the field that it looked like a miniature
lake. But for all the water the field afforded good
footing and those who braved the rain and took a
good soaking were amply repaid with the many thrills
that filled the battle. And a battle it was. For two
long periods the ball worked up and down the field
almost within scoring distance, only to be gained and
booted back out of danger by the threatened team.
The first half ended 0 to 0. Early in the third
period James Oliver gathered in Bill Markishtum’s
short kick and raced for the only touchdown of the
game. It was a pretty run and behind perfect inter
ference that formed in almost a flash. Jim received
the ball on the fifty-yard line and almost from that
point he ran protected from the fighting seniors by
this fine wall of defense. The extra point was an
nexed by a lateral pass from punt formation. The
perfect timing and excellent execution of this play
was only a sample of the well developed football that
both teams played throughout the entire game, hard,
vicious, clean and scientific.
Every player did so well that it would be an injus
tice to point out any individual as a star so we are
printing the entire line-up.

headlinesman; Mr. Friske, timekeeper.
Although our regular football season was over three
weeks ago the squad has continued practice to enable
the men who will form the nucleus of next year’s
varsity a chance to become a little more acquainted
with their positions and the men whom they will play
along side. That season was terminated last Saturday
afternoon with the final football game of the season.
The teams were made up of those who will be eligible
next year against the seven regulars who will gradu
ate in June and three varsity substitutes. The seniors,
as they were called, scored first. They failed to kick
goal. The half ended 6 to 0 in their favor. In the
second half next year’s varsity men got started and
scored two touchdowns and kicked one goal for a total
of 13 points. The game ended 13 to 6 against the
seniors. At a recent meeting Roy Peratrovich was
elected captain of the 1928 squad. He will succeed
Solomon Fleury. Roy and his prospects for next
year’s varsity proved to be powerful, both on the of
fense as well as on the defense against the seniors,
and are optimistic for the coming season.
Fifty-two candidates responded to the basketball
call made last week. They have been working out
and playing elimination games since the work started.
The end of this week will find the squad cut in two
and practice for the regular schedule started.
