They started the season with an 0 to 0 tie against the tough Arlington Eagles. Then came three successive wins against Concrete, Munroe, and Mount Vernon. Disaster then struck and the Tigers were toppled from the undefeated bracket by three losses. Bill Kearns suffered the only bad injury of the season during the Armistice Day game with Sedro-Woolley, here. He received a compound fracture of his left leg and was con- fined to the hospital for several weeks. Bill made the only touchdown of that game when he caught a long pass thrown by quarterback, J. Owen. Burlington featured a T formation built around a speedy backfield and light, hard- charging line. The backheld consisted of R. Houser at fullback, D.

Up to the last game the Tigers were tied with Mount Vernon for third place but lost their final game to drop into fourth place. The Blue and Gold squad was weakened by the loss of several men who finished school an mid-year. This caused the reorganization of the whole squad. When the season finished the final count stood at 5 games Won and 8 lost. The Tiger kittens however, turned the score around by winning 8 and dropping 4. They were paced by two high scoring freshmen, B. Ovenell and R. Kirkby. This year's second team promises to be next year,s champions. The Tiger first team was composed of Daniels, D. Boe, L.
