The Trojans, slated as pre-season favorites, traveled to Dunsmuir on September 17, only to be handed a 13-7 defeat. In this opening game there were plenty of mistakes and bobbles on both sides. The following week the Trojans dropped another sloppy game to Weed, 19-0. Orland lacked llne charge and what it takes in the way of deception when running from the UT . On September 30 the Trojans faced a heavier Red Bluff team. Remarkably improved on both offense and defense, the Trojans rolled to a 24-12 win over the Spartans. Newman, Fralley, Boracci, and Stokes carried the mail over for the TDs. The Troja.ns played exceptional ball in every department with Boraccl and Wildermuth shining. Oroville proved to be too big for the Men of Troy , and we took a 40-19 trouncing. The loss was due mainly to a much heavier Oroville team rather than smart football, as both teams featured strong offenses. Frailey, Newman, and Boracci were the scorers. By thumping the Live Oak Lions 38-6, the Trojans kept their pre-season predictions. Ady Stokes and Ernie Boraccl teamed up, and, between them, the two gained 244 of the team's total of 309 yards. The scorers for the game were Stokes and Forbes with two touchdowns each and Newman and Boraccl with one each. The Trojans ran over Corning by a lopsided score and pointed to the traditional Orland Willows game. There were plenty of touchdowns and long gainers to give everybody some excite- ment. The Trojans were just too much for the hapless Cardinals in every department. The Orland -Willows game was packed with everything but the old one point jinx. After trail- ing 20-7 at the half, the Trojans came out a different football team with the team inspired and mad enough to be on their toes every remaining minute. Ernie Boracci exploded in three long touchdown jaunts to spark the Trojans to a 32-20 victory, and an almost sure WestSide League Championship. A number of well-wishers of the community put on a banquet honoring the Trojans and Trobabes with Eddie Le Baron and many other noted guests as speakers. Along with the team, Ernie Boracci was given special recognition by giving him ai souvenir football and makingthim honorary captain of the team. Gold frmthalls were awarded to the Trojans earning tiwin.
