LELAND REISS<br />

Although the Orientals had one of the hardest fighting teams in the city league,<br />

they lacked the essential punch to claim the city championship again. Every game<br />

that was lost •was only surrendered by a small margin of one or two points which were<br />

sometimes gained by the breaks of the game.<br />

Coach "Pete" McKay had even fewer veterans this season to mold his team around<br />

than in the preceeding years. Ed Hayes, Dick Ader, and Herb Yackel were the three<br />

men of the 192.7 championship team to return to school. Coach McKay had to strengthen<br />

the backfield with Captain Hayes at the epxense of weakening the line, but this<br />

move saved many a tally from flying into the Oriental net.<br />

The remarkable factor of the disastrous season was the morale of the team. Even<br />

though the Eastsiders were rated quite low in the league, the boys entered each battle<br />

with the same determinedness and pluck. Fighting against such odds would have<br />

discouraged most teams, but the "old" East High sportsamnship spirit was admirably<br />

carried on by the players on the soccer field.<br />

The chances for a championship team next season are much brighter. Coach Mc-<br />

Kay will get more veterans back to form the nucleus of the team. Captain-elect Herb<br />

Yackel is a good leader on the field, and if he will be able to get a battling aggregation<br />

ot rally around him, the East High eleven should make a creditable showing.
