Miss Mildred Bateman School Spirit The students of Athena high school have been showing better school spirit this year at the football games than they have shown for many years. At the Athena-Weston game Friday, October 19, all the students who were not on the team did their best to encourage the boys of the team by cheering' them on. In the past, the students very seldom cheered the op posing side, but this year if the op posing team made a brilliant play, our rooters cheered them. We hope that this pep and good sportsman ship will be continued and raise the standard of not only our athletics but all our student body activities even higher than they are at present. .

In the first quarter Weston kick ed off to Athena. Neither team came near to scoring a touchdown, but the ball was mostly in Weston territory. The Athena team tried numerous passes but did not make any success ful ones. Every one on the Athena team was playing a consistant game of ball. When the second quarter opened, Athena continued her aerial attack, and after a number of successful pas ses, conbined with off-tackle kicks and end runs, the ball was placed over the last chalk line. The try for point failed. There was no more scoring this period, although Athena once marched far into Weston's territory. When the second half opened, the Athena men' were determined to fight for the advantage that they had. Ath ena still continued her aerial attack and with several good runs made another touchdown. The try for point was blocked. Weston elected to receive the kick-off, but they were soon forced to kick. In the fourth quarter the game grew a little slower as the fast pace which had been maintained through out the game was beginning to tell on the players of both sides. When the fourth quarter was about half over, Weston received a break when Snider, an end.recovered a fumble and carried the ball to Athena's 15 yeard line before being downed. The Ath ena line held like a stone wall, a pass was incompleted, and Athena im mediately took the ball out of the dangerous territory. The latter part of the quarter was given mostly to punting. The following players started the game for Athena: Wayne Pinkerton, L. E.; Stafford Hansell, L. T.; Walter Huffman, L. G.; Cecil Pambrun, C; Wilford Miller, R. G.; Lee Foster, R. T.; Ralph McEwen, R.
