Greenwood followers had something to Cheer about as the Bluejays marched through a successful sea- son with six victories to one loss. Thirteen returning lettermen provided a nucleus for the team which earneda championship rating. After three weeks of hot, hard practice, thejays opened the season with a 21-12 win over Lockwood. In the next game, Bolivar took advantage of a Greenwood let- down and pushed over the winning touchdown with ninety seconds remaining to take a 12-7 decision over the Jays. The Bluejays bounced back the following week and beat Stockton 12-7 in a hard-fought contest. Greenwood pro- ceeded to defeat Walnut Grove 20-6 and clobber Marion- ville 62-0 in the next two outings. A determined Sarcoxie squad gave Greenwood a real tussle before bowing 53-20. The Bluejays smashed to a 40-O homecoming triumph over Cabool in the final battle of the year.
