During the summer Abby was fortunate in acquiring coach Kop- lin, who jained the faculty anS coached the Ramblers. his value to the team showed up as the season progressed and Abby gave team after team a tough game. Abby 6 Spencer 13 The openinv game of the season sent the Ramblers to Spencer. Abby way able Lo vceSv only once on a pass from lrough Lo Keller, and became the victims of a 13 to 6 loss in their first conference game. Abby 0 Greenwood 45 in the first home game of the season Abby Slayed host to a powerful Greenwood eleven. The Greenwood boys excelled in practically every phrase of the contest except fighting spirit, which gave Abby's Ramblers little chance to defeat Greenwood's veteran squad.
