De entire Work Spell Victory for Spartanr Our football season began on a promising note with a 32 to 6 victory over New Boston. A pattern of strong punt and kick-off returns was evident. Three times the team went all the way. The defense faced its first test in the john Glenn game. Despite the loss it was one of the strongest team efforts displayed. Walled Lake was ranked sixth in the state at the time we played them. They were overwhelming. We were not to be kept down, however, and bounced back with a 13-O win over Warren Mott. The Waterford game showed Stevenson capable of a balanced attack and fine defensive work. This form was evident again in the Pontiac Northern and Fannnnyon gmnes YVe phyed Hne fmxbaH, keeping our opponents deep in their own territories only to commit costly errors in our own end. The season's finale was against North Farming- ton with poor Held conditions affecting the play of both teams. While the season produced more losses than victories, it can be termed successful in that we showed the beginnings of a tough team that will bc well-prepared for next year with the added Qze,speed,and snengdicf senkus The Waterford game finds Stevenson breaking loose for a long gain. A quick ground attack was an important part of Stevenson's offense. T- 'ai I aast 'ii 55? fi t T 5071 edt 2 steamer 3 3.5 a .G , V p K ' 5,2 . p, A A tri? 3 X . M 755, f .Q Xenia , .

The team, under the direction of Mr. Van VVagoner, put in long hours of practice and at times scrimf maged the varsity to give those who had developed their skills an opportunity to make the varsity team. Vvhile the record was not a winning one, the games were never lopsided. YVhat the record does not show is that most of the junior Varsity players were sophomores and generally played against junf iors. The added year of experience on the oppon- ents' part was just a little too much to overcome. Next year, with the added year of inter-league com- petition, the Iunior Varsity should prove an asset to Stevenson. Sw
