The Indian Varsity opened their season this year with a trip of ll2 miles up to East Bakers- field , where they clashed with a powerful East Bakersfield Blades team. The score at half-time was 6-0. But the Blades made seven more, and the game ended T3-6. Thus the Indians took their first long ride home. The second game was played at Redondo Beach. The CIF powerhouse team started off with a I3-0 lead in the first half. After the band marched, they came back and make it 26-0. The Redmen came close to scoring, but never did. The powerful Redondo team went on to CIF hon- ors. The third tussle was a very hard fought game against North Hollywood Huskies on the Van Nuys field. The only score of the game occurred in the last 30 seconds of the first half, on a pass play by North Hollywood. The score ended 6-0. Dave Adelman was chosen as Athlete of the Week. League play started and so did Burroughs. The Indians got off to a great star. in the first half that was all theirs, l2-0, but after the half the John Muir Colts came roaring back to score 20 points in the third quarter, and the game ended 20-12. Jan Lloyd was the outstanding player. The second league tilt was played against Glendale Hoover. The powerful Tornadoes dom- inated the whole game. The half-time score was 13-0. The bands marched at half-time and really put on a show, and so did Hoover as they came out after the half and wallopped the disheart- ened Indians, 33-7. Our third league game was played at Glen- dale. It was a pretty even ball game except- in score. At half-time Glendale led, 7-0. They scored again in the third period to make it 'I3-0, and that's the way the game ended. Burroughs had now lost six stright games. Was this going to be a perfect season? We hit South Pasadena with our new T formation and the game actually wasn't as bad as 35-I2 sounds. Except for a few passes, our de- fense was good. Our T ' offense chalked up more yards and scored as many points as had been done in League play against South Pasadena. Look out Burbank! But we should've been looking out for Bur- roughs as we took a terrific beating from our cross town rivals Burbank, 33-0. But there's always next year. Besides its harder to take a loss than a win. This year we had eight chances to prac- tice losing, next year it's the other team's turn.
