D. one erry was of many enjoy 55 yerS who enloued Sports The small inexperienced Tiger football team traveled a rough road this season drop- ping all four varsity games. For the first time in Aberdeen-Snake River rivalry, the Panthers were able to win a gridiron contest by edging the Tigers 9-2. At Bancroft, the Tigers were nipped 6-0 by the Cowboys. The powerful North Marsh Blue Waves rolled over Aberdeen 27-0 in their successful drive to the district cham- pionship. The game between archrival American Falls and Aberdeen proved to be a disappoint- ment as the Beavers scored at will on the Aberdeen field to win 50-6. The Tigers only consolation was the fact that they scored their only touchdown of the season with Vaughn Johnson doing the honors. Co-captains at left are Jack Stone and Merrill Duffin.

Earl Phillip's drive netted two points in a 42-36 win over American Falls. Merrill Duffin goes up with the North Marsh center in a 39-41 loss to the 1954 state champions. Oke REGULAR SEASON OPP.

The Cubs, paced by Melvin Beck, took second in the Fifth District JV tournament held at Bancroft March 8, 10, and 11. The regular season saw the Cubs rack up 791 points to the opponent's 585, winning thirteen and losing five. Although track was not an organ- ized sport this year two AHS men, John Ruff and Jay Leyshon, were able to keep Aberdeen in action. In the invitational meet held at Ricks College at Rexburg John and Jay placed fourth and fifth, respectively. At the district meet in Pocatello, Ruff tied for third and later placed fifth in the regional held in Pocatello. AT TOP RIGHT: John Ruff displays his unorthodox high jump.
