Hope eleven. The Little Pirates came out of a well played ball game on the short end of a 12-0 score. The Beckley Blue Eaglets were the next team to invade Pirate Memorial Field g although the Little Pirates were completely out- manned. They gave the Beckley boys quite a tussel before loosing 12-7. Our Green and White clad boys next traveled to Gauley Bridge to take on the Little Travelers. The Gauley Bridge team proved too powerful for Coach Bias's squad and trounced them 27-7. Next on the aggenda for Coach Bill Bias's Prosteges were the Oak Hill Imps. They also proved too powerful for the Little Pirates send- ing them down to their fourth straight defeat 27-6. Trying for revenge the Little Pirates took on the Imps the fol- lowing week on Pirate soil. Still the lmps had too much go for the Pirate eleven setting them down 28-0. To end the season our Little Pirates traveled to Sophia still in quest for their first victory. Traveling the road back was a glorious one as they had sought and found. The Little Pirates solidly trounced the Sophia team 19-0. Although it was not a too successful season for Coach Bill Bias's Little Pirates, the main purpose was accomplished. The boys who we re to come along and play Varsity Football had a years experience. This is the main object of Junior High Athletics. I
