JUNIOR HIGH FO()TBALL SQUAD September 15 HUDSON 12—BALDWIN 7 Hudson defeated Baldwin in the first conference game at Baldwin.

HUDSON 37 -GLENWOOD CITY 0 The “Raiders’ took their second victory on the local field by trouncing Glenwood by a glorious 37 points. The “Raiders” defensive line play completely stymied Glenwood’s running game. “Dewey” Persell intercepted a pass and ran for the first touchdown. Lowell Windahl suffered a severe shoulder injury which kept him out of competition for the rest of the season. September 29 HUDSON 19—SPRING VALLEY 7 MIDGET An alert group of Hudson gridders capitalized on the opponent’s mistakes to win over the rugged Valley team. Captain “Russ” bad a big night scoring two touchdowns and did a good job of line-backing. Thorson received a pass from Bowers for a touchdown ending the first half. Then “Russ” came back and made the final touchdown. October 6 HUDSON 0—STILLWATER 13 FOOTBALL SQUAD Second Row — Gary Cameron, Robert Plahn, Rodney Flattum, David Peterson. Wayne Olson. Thomas Evenson, Harry Bill Erb, Glen Ressell, coach. First Row — Dale St. Ores, Charles Walbrandt, Davlu Pet- erson, Tom Benoy, Jerry Jensen, James Benoy, Wayne Nord. 'fhe “Ponies” halted Hudson’s winning streak. Hudson’s best offensive effort was driving the “Ponies’ to their 11 yard line only to lose possession of the ball. We took the back seat to the superior Stillwater team losing this non-conference upset in a torrent of rain. (Continued on Page 60)
