The team fought its way to the top of the conference and finally lost to Limon in the semi-final game. The strong Estes squad started the grid season with a bang by defeating Akron 27 fo 0. In the two following weeks the Bobcats dropped two very close games to Ft. Lupton and Ault. The Bobcats secured the conference title by defeating LaPorte and winning over a favored Timnath team. Estes pushed Eaton around their own field to take the first game in four years from the rival Reds. Windsor and Johnstown both fell before the Bobcat team on the home field. The Bobcats remained undefeated on the home field throughout the season. In the state preliminary game the Bobcats fought an evenly matched Armistice Day game with Lafayette. Richard Becker drove across for the only score of the game. Gene Brough did beautiful running throughout the game. A favored and heavier Alameda team pushed the Bobcats around the home field during the first quarter and drove across for one touchdown. Gene Brough ran 45 yards on an end sweep to tie up the score early in the second quarter. Jim Scott pushed an Alameda back into a punt and the ball rolled into the end zone for two more points. Neither team scored in the rest of the game although both teams threatened. Estes won the Quarter-final game 8 to 6.

The team started working out late because of the extended football season, and the late start plus some stiff competition placed the Bobcats in sixth place in the North Central Conference. The B squad fared better, however, and promises to be a powerful team in the near future.
