The Sullivan Golden Arrows lost their opening football game of the season last night to the Blcomingion Panthers, rated one of the- best in the South. The final score was 25 to 7. However, even though the Arrows lost, they gave f ans an idea that they will be rough to handle this season when they get a little t;aine experience. Last night, it was that inexperience that cost the locals the game. Twice in the first period the Arrows were inside the Panther five-yard line bet couldn't get the ball across. Another time Arrow backfield defensive men missed tackles that would have prevented the firat Bloomington touchdown. 1 The Arrows played right with the bigger and heavier Panthers.
The locals trailed by 8 to 7 in the
number of first downs, and the punting averages wexe about even. In passing, the locals attempted 18 and completed six, one was intercepted. The r Panthers hit two of five passes. Fcr a while it looked like the Arrows were the better team, as' they poured it on in the first quarter. After the Panthers had leceived, Deal, Negro halfback who caused all kinds of trouble later in the game, lost four yard, end the Panthers punteii to the Sullivan 41; George Woife hit left guard for four, and in two tries Don McClure picked up a first down on the Bloomington 49. ihen Cal Hilgediek, carrying the ball fcr the first time, made 23 yards around his left end, and then added 5 and 14 to take the

ball to Bloomington's 7. In three tries, the Arrows got six of those yards, but the officials said that Hilgediek didn't get it across on the fourth down and the Panthers took over. A punt went out to the Bloom
ington 34, and the Arrows were right back. Hilgediek hit Wernz with a pass, who took the ball to the Bloomington 3. McClure lost a yard and then in two tries, one of which was to have been a pass, Hilgediek lost 13 yards, and a fourth down pass was incomplete. Most of the second quarter was evenly fought until, with 40 secends to go, Deal hit Crandall in the flat and the big end raced the rest of the 50 yards for a touchdown. The second Panther score came in the middle of the third period after, a sustained drive from their own 32 in the only drive the Panthers could pet going all evening. The two big plays were a Deal-to-Crandall pass for 23 yards and a jaunt around his own right end for 25 yards by Ayers. Deal finally made the last 16 yards and the score stood 12 to 0. The third Panther score came with lightning-like suddenness.
Hilgediek punted from his own 24 to the Bloomington 35, where Lyons took the ball and went all the way for a touchdown. He raced through the entire Arrow team on his way to paydirt. The final Bloomington score came after a quick kick had put the Arrows in the .hole. With fourth down and five to go late in the game, the Panthers lined
up in. single wing formation, and then with the Arrow safety man drawn up, Deal's kick rolled dead on the Arrow 1-yard line. Hilgediek kicked cut to the 35, but the ball was returned to the Sullivan 14. In two plays, Raney took it across for the score.( The score was 25 to 0. The Arrows averted a shutout in the last minute of play when Jim Sevier threw a 30-yard pass to Doyle Spconmore, who raced
22 yards more for the touchdown. Spconmore was completely behind the Panther secondary and no one touched him as he scored. The Arrows will play their sec-, ond game of the season next Friday night when .the Washington Hatchets come to town. " ' ""' '' '

On his second year, his squad lost only to Vincennes, 13 to 6, and to Wiley, 7 to 6. The Arrows vn saven games that year. .

In 1946 he steered his outfit to two wins, and dayed ties with Brazil and Clint.-:n. His Arrows lost six games. Last season, the Arrows beat Washington, but lost the nine other games.

Twice, in 1932 and 1933, he was fullback on a state championship team. In 1934 he was All-State and All-Wabash Valley fullback.

He's back again this year as a Senior but will occupy the quarterback b:i th. Jim needs more finesse en h-'.s passing, however, he throws a long cast and looks to be developing fast. His ba'l handling apaears very well in these early days but later in the season should shew much from Jim for he has a lot of latent talent

Terry is a member of the Sopnomcre class out for his second year of football uc-'
tivity. He is putting his 130
pounds of weight through :
some very strenuous prac-'
tice, trying very hard to whip himself into varsity i material. Five feet. 7 inches mark
his height and aggressive would be the best term to apply to his football attitude. ' His poss:bilities are locked upon as very good.
Next Friday WASHINGTON, Sept. II. Coach Ed Schenbein and helper Gib Coleman arc eyeing the roster of newcomers and sprinkling of veterans with an anxi.ous eye.' A tough schedule faces the 1948 Hatchet gridiron crew. After the game at Princeton Friday, they will take on Sullivan pnd University High .-J Eloomington in two more games away from home. Sullivan is always a tough nut to crack, but the University school is relatively new at the pigskin sport. No information on their strength is available as yet however, and they also may prove to be formidable. Then comes five successive home games. Starting with Bloomington on October 1, the Hatchets ' face Bicknell, Vincennes, Bedford and Huntingburg, all at the home field in October. On November 5th they wind up their schedule with a game at Linton. Prospects for the local .team are a little better than fair this season,' thanks largely to ths size of the aggregation. Experience, however, probably the most important factor, is not one of their assets. Seven returning lettermen wil bolster the team which will boast a line averaging 180 lbs., one cf the heaviest ever produced in Washington. Paul White, a 172 pound senior with thre years .--n te varsity behind him, will captain the team! White was a,n outstanding player at guard position 1st year and this year Coch Schienbein has announced that he may alternate him between guard and fullback position. Bob Foster, Bill Riney, John Newton, Bob Ice, Don Rayhill and Jack Allen are the other returning lettermen.
