JhjL Js.(UYL Will he catch it? Tough luck! Come to papa! Got it! Ready for the catch DOWNERS GROVE 0 W. AURORA 21 The first setback of the year for the heavies was received at West Aurora. West High scored all of its 21 points in the first half. The first score came on a 97 yard pass interception. The heavies put on many drives that took them deep into West High territory only to lose the ball. DOWNERS GROVE 20 RIVERSIDE-BROOKFIELD 19 This game was one of the most exciting of the year. Downers drew first blood on a quarter- back sneak by Howie Doty in the second quarter. After R.B. had taken the lead, Prescott sprinted 90 yards on a punt return. Again in the fourth quarter the heavies scored on a pass from Safranski to Howland. Ken Doty kicked the two extra points that proved to be the winning factor. DOWNERS GROVE 6 YORK 6 With a strong wind and a Trojan off-day, the lowly York heavies managed to tie the Trojans. It looked bad as Trojan mistakes gave York a 6 point half-time lead. But the Trojans got the wind in the 3rd quarter and pushed to the one yard stripe, Boldebuck taking it over early in the fourth. Again the Trojans threatened, but the game ended before they scored. DOWNERS GROVE 6 LA GRANGE 34 Strong opposition was hardly the word for the La Grange team. They were superb. Coach Krughoff said they just made no mistakes. The heavyweights distinguished themselves by being the first team to score on the Lions in 10 league games. DOWNERS GROVE 13 MAINE 7 Showing much more spirit than in the La Grange game, the heavies routed Maine. The first score came on a pass from Doty to Howland. Maine tied the score late in the half. Howland scored on a pass from Safranski in the third quarter. DOWNERS GROVE 14 GLENBARD 7 The heavies continued their spirited play against the Bards. Doty passed to Howland in the second quarter for the heavies first score. FRONT ROW R. Howland, W. Littleford, K. Doty, W. Monfries, A Hodous, B. Kakuska, B. Holmes, J. Sutter, T. La Voie. D. Conrad.

B. pressed for another score but the ponies held. DOWNERS GROVE 6 YORK 6 York gave the Trojans tough opposition. The Trojans pushed to the York one yard line from which Kubis plunged over into the end zone. Finally with 2 minutes left in the came, York scored on an end run. The extra point failed and the gcme ended in a tie. DOWNERS GROVE 20 LA GRANGE 0 With victory on their breaths, the lights pushed deep into La Grange territory, Kubis scoring from the one and one-half yard line. Freitag added the extra point. The other two tallies ccme cs Mochel scored on a pass from Lynch, and Mizner scored on a 35 yard run. La Grange threatened in the fourth but the ponies held successfully. DOWNERS GROVE 7 MAINE 14 Maine capitalized on Trojan errors by scoring twice in the first half to give the Trojans their first setback. The lights’ only score came in the third quarter on a plunge by Freitag. Again in the fourth quarter the lights were driving for a score, but a fumble deep in Maine territory ended the threat. DOWNERS GROVE 19 GLENBARD 7 With many of the boys playing their last game the Trojans routed the Bards. The first scoring came on a pass from Lynch to Mochel. Kubis’s score was retaliated by Glenbard with a score in the third quarter. A fourth quarter threat was thwarted when Kubis intercepted a pass and sprinted for a touchdown. York’s victory over Riverside gave them a share in the championship. 19 Around end Where’s the ball? Get in there and fight!
