LET'S GO PLACES The homecoming game was played with a highly rated and championship-bound Mechanic Arts eleven. The Murray crowd saw an unforgettable battle as the two teams fought for pay territory with one spectacular play following another. By bottling up the Trainer ground game, The Pilots fought Me- chanics to a O-O tie. in the final game of the season the Murray gridders really took their big defeat of the year as ci strong Johnson squad rang up a 20-O total. While Murray relinquished its city crown when Johnson, Mar- shall, and Mechanic Arts ended in a triple tie for the title, the season was anything but mediocre. Senior squad members who had received experience while playing with the T947 Champs distinguished themselves individually, and their knowledge of the game gave confidence and help to new squad members. Ralph DeYoung is ready to go places in a big way as his determined expression shows. Nick Combs of Marshall thinks differently and happens to be right in this Marshall-Murray game. f Page fortyvo ne
