1950 Grid Season Bonnesteel's six man football team got off on the wrong foot in the season's opener against Lake Andes when they bowed to a much stronger team 49-7. This game was played at Lake Andes on September 15th with the Eagles acting as hosts to the Tigers. Several players got their first taste of real action in this contest after only five lettermen from the previous year answered Coach Art Glynn's call for practice. Fifteen players reported for practice and were as follows: Duane Dunkak, Bill Wernke, Don Applebee, Bob Hausmann, Ronnie Knox, Bill Bruce, Eldon Halverson, LeRoy Hoar, Gerald Pepper, Don Schmitz, Ted Schmitz, Bob Metal, Willis Goodman, Jim Schmitz, and Tom Bailey. The first eleven players named above were selected as this year's letter winners with only Dunkak and Wernke graduating out of the eleven. Fairfax gave Bonesteel their first win Z5-8 in a game played at Bonesteel in which Duane Dunkak showed his offensive ability by scoring three touchdowns. The third game of the season was played with the Spencer Pirates at Bonesteel and the Tigers were defeated 31-8 by the flashy aerial attack unleashed by the opponents. Fairfax again fell to the Orange and Black 36-12 when they played host to the Tigers on October 6th. Donald Applebee, a Sophomore half-back, showed very good running power in this game as he skirted across for three T.D.'s. Bonesteel played the only afternoon game of the season at Marty Mission on Saturday, October 14th. Marty's Braves took advantage of all the breaks in this very closely played game in which they returned two intercepted passes for T.D's. to beat the home team 19 to 6. Butte's flashy gridders broke the jinx that Bonesteel had appar'ently held over them the past several seasons as they defeated the Tigers 20-7 in a hard fought game at Bonesteel. In the three previous years Bonesteel's Tigers had defeated Butte three times and tied the score at 6 to 6 three times to shut them from victory in any game. The last game of the season for the squad was played on the home field against Dallas in which the Tigers bowed to the tune of 54 to 7. This game was highlighted by a last minute touchdown by Gerald Pepper upon his interception of an enemy lateral. This game also marked the last one in high school play for Duane Dunkak and Bill Wernke, the graduating co-captains. Dunkak 'placed the Tigers in the scoring department with 8 touchdowns and two T.D. passes completed. Gerald Pepper and LeRoy Hoar looked good the entire season on the defensive end of play and have good prospects for the coming years. This year's record of two wins and five losses was not good as compared with ' previous seasons, but it is sincerely believed that a foundation has been built for a good team in the coming years. FOOTBALL PICTURE Row standing:---Duane Dunkak, LeRoy Hoar, Jim Schmitz, Tom Bailey, Coach Art Glynn, Willis Goodman, Gerald Pepper, Ted Schmitz, and Ronnie Knox. Front row: ----- Eldon Halverson, Don Applebee, Bill Wernke, Bob Hausmann, Bill Bruce, Bob Metal, and Don Schmitz.
