ately as the seconds were ticking off
for the half gun, Migaki intercepted
a Philipsburg pass and raced 35
yards untouched for the third score
as the gun sounded to end the first
half. Troy Is, Philipsburg 0.
R. Callaghan kicked off for Troy
as the final half opened and Phil
ipsburg after gaining few yards
kicked poorly and Troy took over
on the opponents 80. From there
Moore caught long lateral from
r. Callaghan and dashed down the
sidelines for points. Coach Cal
laghan's forces combined tricky and
adept ball-handling as they record
ed their next touchdown when the
ball was faxed by Migaki to Kuwa-
hara and Moore made a spectacular
40-yard run to counter.
Throughout the game Philips
burgs poor protection for the kick
ers was noticed as the Trojan for
ward ball broke through to block a
punt and the ball rolled into the
end zone for safety of 2 points.
At this time the Troy second string
men entered the battle and held
their more experienced opponents.
When the first stringers came into
the game again their appearance
was marked by registering another
touchdown as Migaki again passed
to r. Callaghan.
The maroon forward wall of R.
Callaghan, Nelson, and Kensler
charged hard and fast to prevent
the Philipsburg offensive from click
ing. This game marked the close Of
a successful football season and the
last appearance of two regulars
Ray Callaghan, end, and Jim Migaki

brilliantly all season Other seniors
seeing action for the last time were
Wally Callaghan, Ted Crater, anc
Earl Burns.
History was made when Troy wor

tinction of being the western Mon.

attempt was in 1884 when the Troy
eleven played Poison for the north.

Sports Classic

The plan for q pOSt-SeaSon paS-
iletbaiI tournament here between
nigh school teams has real poSSloill-
ties. High school authorities VINO
conceived the idea have hit upon
something that may develop INTO
large proportions and attract atten-
ton TO this city as d sports center
in modest way.
Most of the support for the
tournament must Of necessity be
drawn from Henderson fans. But
there is little doubt Of sufficient
patronage to make it success, at
ieast moderately SO, at the outset
Successful teams of both boys
and girls in recent years have given
Henderson high school an envlable
place in its class. The support OF
the community has steadily grown
by way OF attendance and interest.
All of which has been possible
through the facilities of the modern
gymnasium that was included IN
the new high school plant. and
which has proved its worth and
won popular approval Of the item
Of cost entailed in its provision.
At times there has been talk Of
efforts to build high school athletic
teams, both basketball and football,
~ recruiting the best available
tudent talent from the rural schools
nd welding them into d more pow
rful outfit to meet and win over
cams on their schedules. This in
lolveS some planning, and II may
ace technical barriers. 1t may not
wen be practical. But il the idea
:ould be realized on, it would be
thing of value and pride for the
lily and the county.
At all odds, the poSt-seaSon
Basketball tournament of teams in
Henderson'S class ought to be the
beginning of greater things in that
direction. 1t will draw attendance
from all around if it can be made
to attain the quality which may be
expected OF it. The community owes
it to the school to cooperate in this
undertaking.
