Although we had one of the lightest foot- ball teams in the county this year, we feel that our team did well. We were often cn the wrong end of the score but despite that, we know, inexperienced as we were, that pound for pound, we gave more than we received. We opened our season against Rawson and although Rawson was heavily favored, they returned to Rawson with a G-U score on the books. The next game was a tie game with North Baltimore which ended up 6-6, although we led nearly the entire game. We broke out of the tie class when we moved to Arcadia and came home with the long end of the 19-12 score. The next week our Pan- thers journeyed to Van Buren where we fell back in the rut again and ended the game with the score 6-6. We did no better against Mt. Blanchard but gave them no satisfaction either for that game also ended in a tie. Our real test came when we played the County Champions. This game was impor- tant enough that it was broadcast over WFIN. Although we fought hard, the final score of 24-U was not in our favor and we dropped from the unbeaten ranks. We bounced back from the Liberty game to defeat Mt. Cory the following week 7-O. The heartbreaking game came the following week when we played Vanlue and lost 2-U. We still insist that the score should have been 7-2 in our favor, The last game of the year was played at Arling- ton, which Arlington won 14-O. Despite our lack of experience, the lack of weight, and the bad breaks, we received in two games we are proud of the final results of two wins, three losses and four ties.
