This to many football teams would be an unsuccessful season, but to the Blue lays it was a successful season because of the experience they gained. The Garden Home crew, sporting new suits which were purchased for them this season, opened their football season at Lafayette. Playing in a sea of mud, the Blue lays dropped the encounter 13-2. Garden Home then traveled to Golden to play the Kingpins of the Suburban League. This time the Blue lays were met by a shower of touchdowns, Golden won 41-6. Opening their League season the Blue lays won an impressive 18-O victory over the Castle Rock Huskies. In our second League game with the Huskies the Blue lays outscored them 28-6. Playing hard football, but against great odds, the Blue lays were outclassed by a heavier Lakewood team. The first game on the home turf ended: Lakewood 24-Garden Home U. ln our return game on the Lakewood gridiron the Lakewood Tigers again triumphed 25-0. At our Homecoming event the Blue lays were entertained by Union High Scliool's football team. The Westminster crew was successful and dampened our hopes of winning. Union won 20-0. The best game of the season was at our return game with Westminster. The Blue lays completely outclassed them, outplayinq them in every department, scoring in the last sixty seconds of play, but failed to win-losing 13-12. Next year the Garden Home team should make a good showing because of the experience gained this year and the returning of 17 lettermen.
