FOOTBALL SEASON
SHOWS ALL VICTORY.
BAY ST. LOUIS JUSTLY PROUD OF
THE VICTORY MADE BY LOCAL
COLLEGIAN-ATHLET

Football is oyer, Another st. stanis-
laus Team has finished its fight and gone
tory. The memory Of what that team
was and of the real sport it furnished
will live longer. No team of the past was
ever accorded more support by Bay st.
Louis. No team of the past was ever
more worthy of that loyal support.

of that team and the record Of what they
accomplished.

schedule more because teams that should
be in our class recognized that they Were
not and preferred to schedule easier
chances. Every game was a good one
there were no setups; no games that could
be marked in the win column before they
were played. Boys High started our sea-

High was shown when they won, not only
the New Orleans City Championship. but
Playing that game with a brand new line
up We were able to tie them though they
had played three games already. A game
with them later on would not have been
interesting.
The second clash, Barton academy game
marked the first victory and showed US
what we might reasonably expect from

had we chosen to use our regular line
up-the result might have been far differ

to injury and thereby jeopardized our
chances in the Jefferson game.
Then came the Jefferson game, the an
nual classic. True We won that game by
the narrow margin of a touchdown, but
that indicates what we had to play
against. The Jefferson team had been
built and coached with the sole object Of

practised to that end They left here with
greater respect for Stanislaus.
The great Thanksgiving tie fittingly
closed such season. The Navy team
had had great season. They had tasted
defeat only at our hands and came back
to clear their record. They reckoned,
however, with their host.

might be ours. Phillips great generalship
played part in every game. 1t remained
for him to make his touchdown. The last
quarter OF the last battle brought that
chance and it was he who carried the ba1f
game. Joe Manning at full, was a tower
of strength. Every opposing line feared
when he carried the ball. When he could
not go through the line he went over it.
In Glover, Keiffer and Maestri we had
half backs who could gain when gains
were needed. The lightest men we ever
had in that position, but ranking with
