FOOTBALL SEASON Football equipment was issued on August 31 to a small but determined squad. In spite of the loss of many valuable seniors and the smallness of the squad, practice sessions were spirited and morale was high. Ably coached by Acagey Snooks Sulli- van and rugged line coach Merlin Elie, a team of eleven iron men was developed. A team that gallantly upheld the traditional East Side fighting spirit and roved to be one of the best that East Grand Forlks has had for several years. Bemidji- September 12 In the opening ame of the season the hu e Bemidji Lumberjacks proved too much to handle for the inexperienced Wave team. Bemidji pushed across four touchdowns to defeat the VVave 25-0. St. james - September 20 The Green Wave won a badly needed victory when it nosed out St. james 7-6 in its first home game. The jimmies hit pay-dirt early in the third quarter, but their bid for the extra point was blocked by the Wave's fighting forward wall. With but a few seconds left in the game, jerry Ericksen highlighted the game by making a twent -six yard touchdown sprint. Cy Ducharme cracked' the line for a crucial extra point. Grafton - September 27 In its best played game of the season the Wave displayed the lighting spirit customary with East Side teams, by out-fighting a much heavier Graf- ton team. In the second play of the second half, Earl Gangleness slashed off 67 yards for the win- ning touc down to upset the Spoilers 13-8. Red Lake Falls - October 4 Red Lake Falls' homecomin was tumbled into ruins by the Green Wave as they rolled over the Eagles 20-O. Crookston - October ll In spite of a determined drive in the last min- utes of the game, East Grand Forks lost to Crook- ston 13-6. Excitement ran high when the East Side ball touched the Bucs' one foot line. Devils Lake - October 18 An alert Green VVave team edged out a deter- mined Satan Club 14-13. The East Siders had to light off a resolute Satan drive in the last quarter, but they came through with their fourth victory in six tries. Grand Forks - October 25 In the traditional inter-city battle with Grand Forks, the fighting Wave team amazed everyone by scoring twice in the first half--to lead the Redskins, 13-7. However, the gallant Green Wave couldn't hold back a heavier and more powerful Redskin team. When the final whistle blew, Grand Forks was leading 34-13. Thief River Falls - November 2 A bruised and battered East Side team just couldn't hold back a strong Prowler outfit. Thief River, sparked by speedy Les V igness, defeated the Wave 13-0.
