DREAM MADE REALITY FOR WOLVERINES Pressures came on strong as Lewis faced the play off games. Defeating E. C. Glass for the Regional title was a game full of latent surprises. Within a span of a minute and forty-five sec¬ onds, Lewis scored three touchdowns to rally from 14-0 to 20-14. After pull¬ ing the Glass victory out of their hat, the lucky Wolverines went to Rich¬ mond to the State Semi-Final with more of their magic and the Regional title tucked away. Reality of the Freeman game brought dreams of the State title. By overtaking Douglas Freeman on a cold No¬ vember night with a close score of 26- 21, a dream came true. Lewis was going to the State Championship. Pre- ceeding the State Game hundreds of inches of newspaper space and a T.V. special were focused on the Wolve¬ rines and their battle against the tre¬ mendous T.C. Williams of Alexandria. Succumbing to the strength of the Ti¬ tans, the Wolverines had to settle for second place in the State Champion¬ ship.
