Second Row-Carl Shaw, Tom Welch, Art Ander- son, Jim Picking, Jim Shortt, Carl Halsey, Bill Wolfe, Jim Temple, Jack Kirby. A determined, fighting Burro football squad reported for practice the first day of school, faced with a tough, eight-game schedule, the first eleven - man football schedule in the history of the school. After three weeks of intense fundamental and conditioning drill, the squad, led by Capt. Jim Shortt, traveled to Maricopa for the season's opener and a New Era in Burro football history. The Burros returned victorious and maintained their winning ways in four of the Hrst five games with wins over Maricopa, MacFarland, Lone Pine, and Victor Valley while losing to the arch- rival Bishop squad 19-6. The final three games proved disappoint- ing to the Green and White as an injury Page Eighty Third Row-Coach Nielsen, Bob Kelly, Bill Lager, joe Law, Kerry Tooley, Bob Bowles, Ray Herron, Jim Coovefis, Granville Chadwick, Coach Pierce. Fourth Row-Wayne Herling, Hal Hoff, Bob Per- due, Walt Burfeindt, Mac Gates, Bob Parker, Ken Childs, Ken O'Rear. FUUTHHLL riddled squad fought valiantly to maintain its enviable early season record. A hard hitting Bakersfield Junior Varsity squad overpowered the locals in a hard fought game. By the end of the game, two of Burrois stalwart performers, 'iStone Wall Chadwick, a defensive great and Bob Kelly, flashy scat-backf, were both side lined for the remainder of the season by injuries. Capt.-elect Bill Lager also suffered a shoulder injury which allowed only limited service for the remainder of the season. Still contenders for the league champion- ship, the squad made the trip to Barstow to challenge the defending champion Riffian squad. Barstow was too strong. The locals returned on the short end of a 13-7 score and third place in the Desert-Inyo League.
