CRAVATHS WORRIES

Those wing SmaShes are '.crhaps
the biggest fear in Cravath'S worried
life. At the start of the season when
he had All-American Ralph Hey
wood and rugged Joe MacPhail at
the end spots he wouldn't have
feared parade of steamrollers.
But the two stellar ends were
lost TO the marines, leaving their
positions to the less experienced
Gordon Gray and Jim Callahan.
MAGIC SAM 1T"
Welch, the amateur sleight of
hand artist who carries his magic
to the football field, without a
doubt is clamping his running at
tack around husky Sam Robinson
who has left the local experts gasp
ing after watching him in practice
sessions.
Robinson and the rest of his
teammates are in perfect shape and
have been galloping through spirited
workouts and crying for more work.
MOANS WEATHER
In Los Angeles, Cravath drilled
his charges on smoother ball-han-
ding from his IT" formation and
announced he would stick to his
original lineup. In between plays
he moaned loudly about the wet
weather and indicated his tricky
attack would suffer seriously on a
slow field.
GROANS LOUDER
In that respect Welch matched
him in the groaning department.
This was somewhat of a surprise
inasmuch as it had been figured
the Huskies are familiar with wet
weather and stick mostly to
ground attack anyway.
The Huskies were to try out their
cleats again on the Rose Bowl
grass in a late workout today.

WHY SHOULDN'T WE INITIATE
FRESHMEN IN OUR SCHOOL?

Initiation of Freshmen in many schools
is one of the things most looked for
ward to. For many years we have had
no limitations in L. H. S. and | think
we, the older members of the high
school, and also the Freshmen are miss
ing something.
One will never be Freshman but
once and his initiation into high school
will always stand out in his mind.
l really think most people have the
wrong idea of limitations. They usually
think of them being destructive and of
no good but on the other hand they can
be constructive and carry out good
points.
Here in our school we should be able
to work out good plans for limitations
where as we can have lots of fun and
yet not be too destructive
The girls could be made to go without
makeup and wear their bIouses back
wards. The boys could wear their
shirts backwards and not be able to
comb their hair. These things could
easily de done without any real hind

LEXINGTON l3-TCHULA O

Lbs started off its football season last
Friday night in very satisfactory way
and, if we can keep it up, we will be
all right.
The game started at 500 pm with
Tchula kicking off to Lexington. The
ball was intercepted by Johnny Farmer.
In the first down Sonny Meek carried the
ball. Before anyone could see what was
going on, he was far out in front of
everyone and it looked as if he would
make a touchdown. However he tripped
and fell to the ground. But on the the
next down he made up for it and be-
lore the game was twelve minutes old,
the score was 10 in favor of Lbs. By
the end of the first quarter Tchula had
pushed our boys back down to our 25
yard line.
The second quarter Started off bad for
Lbs because in the first play we were
penalized yards for being offside. But
before the quarter was over Sonny had
made another touchdown. Near the end
OF this quarter Tchula got the ball and
1T looked for while like they might
made touchdown, but George Edwards
stopped them.
Our only Casualty" took place in the
last quarter when Sonny hurt his nose.
He had to be taken out of the game
and was replaced by Billy Rhyme.
When the final whistle blew, Lexing-
ton was only wards from Tchula's
goal line.

WHERE DID THE SENIOR

Where did all those privileges that

privileges from the looks of things

terrible. There aren't any more privi-
leges for the seniors than there are for
freshmen. think we ought to demand
our rights.
The teachers seem to think that this
will be our last year here, so they will
have to give us all the work that they
possibly can. And take my, word for it,
they really are giving it to us. If we
din't have one test a day, we have two;
and it goes on like that all the time.

to walk down the hall during one of
your study periods, the teacher makes
