PUNIES With seven lettermen and about twenty ambitious newcomers plus returning squad members to choose lrom, coaches Milton E. Schwager and Arthur patrick rounded out and polished up a team that more than held its own in a tough eight-game schedule. Five of the returning lettermen were linemen, therefore the tasl4 of building a capable baclctield fell into the hands ol coach Schwager. Alter three weelcs ol intense practice, the players had reached a peal4 ol line physical condi- tion. By a vote ol returning lettermen, Alan Adams was elected captain, and the team was ready lor its First test ol the season, a game with a much heavier team. Freeport WQ-Winnebago O. The season was underway with a Favorable start. Roe scored First on a reverse, and later in the game Adams scored from the Forty-two behind Petta's line blocking. The pretzelettes opened the conference at East Aurora and returned to Freeport with a 6-O victory Hunder their belts. Petta blocked a punt on the goal line and fell on the ball in the end zone for the lone score ot the game. A tie, TQ-'l Q, was the best the ponies could get from La Salle-peru, who turned out to be . the conference champs. Goriselc and Lunn scored the l.a Salle-Peru f 1' touchdowns, while Adams scored twice for the pretz. Abbott sent the ponies in position for the W ,MM , second touchdown by intercepting a pass and running eighty- seven yards, to the nine yard line.
