An enthusiastic pep talk always helps to create a fighting spirit in a team. Ours is no exception and jon Anderson, Captain, delivered a rousing pre-game talk which inspired the members to a con- vincing defeat of St. Agnes in Lutheran High's first Olympic League victory, 14-10. This his- toric game was mainly dominated by the Lions fine defensive line which held the Saints offense. On offense the Lions' hard hitting line made many gains possible. Lutheran's fired - up football team fought gallantly against St. 'Iohn's Bosco in the third annual Homecom- ing game. Hard-driving tackles char- acterized this afl-important game but the luck and the breaks of the game were against the Lions as a deter- mined Bosco team was the victor, 21-8. For a brief moment fortune was with the Lions as the crowd was elec- trified by a heart-tingling 50-yard run. Sponsored by The Hellmans
