The last great game ot' the season was very eventful beeause we had all of our men baek to help us win. Several times during' the game, spectacular runs were made, and long power drives were aeeomplished by a new type ot' quarter-baeking. All in all we had a wonderful season and I ean assure anyone that even it' we were badly beaten sometimes, we still had a swell time playing' the game.

THE SEASON At the beginning of the year it looked as if we would again have three eham'pionship teams as we had two years ago, but from laek of exnerienee the Cl team only won 4 out of their 8 league games. The B team tied with VVheat1and with 7 vietories and l loss tto eaeh otherl. The A team played an undefeated season in their league games and only three defeats in their nraetiee games. R TEAM The B team, this year, was eomnosed of nearly the same ones as the Cl team was last year. They lost their first league game to VVheat.land on lVheatland's home eourt, hut with lots ol' hard serimmasres against the A team: they played the rest ol' the season undefeated.
