And SWeeley Coach Well.

A resume Of the football season just
completed in which the Twin Falls
high school team emerged champion
Of the conference, shows a successfmf
season from both an athletic and .
scholastic standpoint. The high
school students should feel proud OF
the record of their team in playing
such a strenuous schedule with grades
in scholarship which are higher thar
the average for men participating IN
this line of sport 1t speaks well for
the personnel of the team and the
substantial foundation unfolding atk-
letics in the local high school.
OF the seven games comprising the
seasons schedule, six were victorious
for Twin Falls. Bull won her second
game against the local boys, 7 to O.
Only three times was the Twin Falls
goal line crossed by her opponents,
once by Bull and twice by Rupert,
both games with the latter school be-
ing won by large scores. The com
parative strength Of the local team
may be noted from a comparison OF
total points made during the seven
games. Twin Falls succeeded in run
ming up 1873 points against a total for
her opponents of Is. The scores for
the seven games are:
Twin Falls 20, Shoshone O.; Twin
Falls 2S, Rupert 6; Twin Falls Z, BuhI
0; Twin Falls 33, Shoshone o. Twin
Falls 33, Rupert 6; Twin Falls 3, Buhl
6; Twin Falls IA, Bull 0.
Only three of the boys graduate this
year, Holderman, McCracken and Ir-
win. Those who will probably try
for their places are Lough, Patton,
Scott, Dewitt, GLASGOW and Day Pros
poets for next year are very promising
since practically the same team will
represent the school. With a season
of practice together they ought to be a
winning team next year. There is a
sufficient amount of material in the
school to make a good second team
too. Had the boys of the first team
more competition from the second
team this year, they might have had
a stronger lineup. If a strong sec
ond team shows up next year, Twin
Falls high school will probably have
one of the strongest teams in the his
tory of the school.
The success this year is attributed
to the excellent coaching of Mr.. Naf-
ziger and Mayor Sweeley, combined
with the husky squad of fellows who
have trained and practiced faithfully
for the games.
There follows in the coachs' own
words, a synopsis of the boys abili-
ties:
Arthur scott, captain, "Scotty', CEN
ter, outplayed all the opposing centers
and formed a strong pivot man for our
line. He is fast in charging and good
at driving the ball far into the op-
ponents territory on the kickoff
Michael Thometz, Mike, right
? guard, played a very acceptable game
at guard dependable in practice and
game alike. We are glad he is a
junior.
Clarence Dewitt, "Ty," right tackle
worked the tackle around play to per
fection. He is a fast and aggressive
player. We remember, as probably dc
some of his opponents, the fine tackles
f he made during the season.
Thomas Irwin, Tommy" right end
p fast on his feet. a heady, aggressive
player, good at picking holes in the
: line on his end run. Had a narrow es-
, cape at Shoshone.
, Walter Day, "Curley," left guard
a hard to convince that football is z
serious proposition. AS time progress.
= ed he took the game more seriously
and in the last Buhl game cleaned his
opponent in good style.
Noel Bailey, "Bailee," laft tackle, a
very solid, dependable tackle. Very
:. strong on defense and made good gainf
