T was only through hard practice and strict training that a team could learn to
play the brand of football that Kewanee played this year, and much of the credit
for this must go to our coaches, who did their very best to keep the boys in perfect
condition and to see that the team practiced hard and regularly. Coach Ross Anderson,
assisted by Coach Stevens, turned out such a football eleven as is rarely seen
in any high school, regardless of size.
To Coach Galen Landis goes a large amount of credit for the remarkable
success of our "shock troops". It is with this man that the boys become accustomed
to the game so that they will be able to fill the places on the first team that are left
vacant every year. We are positive that after the fine showing made by Landis' boys
this year Kewanee High is destined to have some mighty good teams in the near
future.
After a most successful football campaign, Coach Anderson turned his attention
tc basketball and produced a team that went further toward a state championship
than any team in the history of the school. Although at first the team did not look
like championship calibre, under the careful instruction of Coach Anderson they
were developed into one of the smoothest running basketball machines ever seen
in Kewanee.
Our second team in basketball, under the capable coaching of Mr. Stevens,
turned out to be a team that was indeed a credit to the school. Coach Stevens has the
job in basketball that Coach Landis has in football, the training of the new material
that comes into school each year, so that they will understand the principles of the
game when it comes their turn to take their places on the first team.
Mr. Anderson, Mr. Stevens, and Mr. Landis have won the deepest respect of
the entire school, for the wonderful work they have done with the boys in turning
out these teams, which have been a great credit to the school, not only in Kewanee,
but throughout the entire state.
