Show B. Y. A Day at the Races 7AU( By BOB HALES Football Finis With the football season at an end and the basketball fever coming over us, we have much to look back on and much to look forward to. The football season of 1947 Is the best in B.Y. Highs history up to date. The team scored three victories to set an all-tirecord, these being the first wins in region play since the Wildcats started playing eleven man football four years ago in 1943. The Cats have had a hard time and they have had to fight for everything that they have received in football. Some years have been lean, but there has been a steady building up of the football spirit and power through the years. Each year the teams look better and have come through to end the season with the school proud of them. This year wtih bright prospects and promising lettermen returning to the squad, Coach Dixion stepped in his first year of coaching and rounded out a winning ball club. Finishing the season with flying colors despite numerous injuries the blue and white football teams are becoming a threat to region competition. Many of the seniors playing for the last time remembered the games of the past and the work that it took to put B.Y. High in the win column. They just wish that they could be back for more. In their stead they are leaving the remaining players with the spirit of fight on their victory! Congratulations to the squad, to the coaches, and to the school for a successful football season. There can come nothing but the best from the completion of a wonderful season. Captain Reed Through a successful season of football this year there has been a shining light on the field this was Captain Reed Stalworthy. Reed is B.Y. Highs candidate for all state honors on the gridiron. We base our claim on the fast moving back, because he is an all-arou- nd football player. His blocking is like a stick of dynamite. On defense, Stalworthy was in on every tackle with his hard hitting shoulder striking pay dirt and the opposition where it counts. On offensive play Reed was a miracle worker. Plunging through the line or striking around the end, he was never stopped until he was downs The most spectacular play of the whole Y" aggression was the end run of Reeds. This gave him a chance to get out in the open where prospective tacklers bounced off him like water off a ducks back. Completing the entire season without a fumble on his name, Reed was as dependable as the rock of Gibralter. So here is a toast to all state all anything . . . Reed Stalworthy. ...

Coach of the Region, Owen Dixion, who in his first year of coaching led the White and Blue into the victory column. Title of the best team in the region is definitely Lincoln High from Orem. Luckiest team in Region Three is Pleasant Grove who managed to lose on the playing field, but bluff through with a winning score. Team to show the most improvement for the year is our own B.Y. High. They managed to creep out of the cellar for a glimpse at the rest of the world. The team with a slump came from south in Spanish Fork. Those who can boast the brightest futures are Lincoln and B.Y. Bums of B. Y. High There are no such things as jinxes. Accidents dont happen. They only way to explain the situation is law of averages. Bum number one is Dick White who broke his right arm in two places. Kent Lloyfle came through with fighting colors to join the broken bone club, breaking the fibula in his leg. Just out of sheer meanness George Olson knocked a piece of his spine off, the bum. JayBallif never was one to let others outdo him, so he broke his collar all by himself. Dever Brough joined the club by making the most of a weak ankle. Bums deluxe are the following who all fall in the same general category Swenson, Strong, Corless and Hales.

High School, i Provo, Utah Today was the day the crowd was slowly gathering to see whether the contestants could withstand the grueling contest beforg them. The question was not of courage, for they surely had that, but rather how much punishment flesh and blood could endure before it yielded. Time was now growing short, the crowd was getting impatient. The nerves of the intended victims were worn thin. Then fear began to show in their eyes as the time of the battle drew closer. They felt as though their fate was already sealed as they gazed into the hungry eves of their oppressors. There was the signal! Before jts last echoes had died, the first two had fallen, then, a sickening crash announced the fall of the third. One by one they fell and were taken to a life of hopeless misery. The remaining victims fled in terror into the surrounding country side with their tormentor in hot pursuit. One by one they slowly tired and were dragged to their fate, until only one was left, and he too, was doomed to fall. He glanced over his shoulder and upon seeing the fiendish gleam in his pursuers eyes, he redoubled his efforts to escape. But his strength slowly ebbed and the eager clutching hands of his pursuer stretched out toward their victim. Then, with a lone crush-n- g lunge, he was brought to earth and a series of swift blows rendered him senseless, and he, too, was dragged to his doom by his victorious enemy. Let us look for a moment at the instigator of this inhuman sport which makes the bloody era of Nero and Eagula look like a bun-da- y School picnic. He is a man known to most of you. To look at him, you would think him a teacher or businessman, and for a majority of the year he is a peaceful, kind a man as you could find. But once a year he instigates this dav of pain and sorrow. This day whenever the strongest of men quaked in their boots and the stoutest hearts shook with fear. Maybe you are wondering by this time who this inhuman beast is Well, to answer all questions, this person who is really a kind, gentle soul at heart, yet never the less can bring so much sorrow to those poor inhabitants of h. Thats right hes A1 Capp, originator of the Sadie Hawkins race. Dog-patc- Platter Chatter Hi Ya peasants Welcome nce more to the inner sanctum. Sit down on a cracker box, and have a pretzel, and well have another session about the latest in platters.
