Pigskin Paia e Our boys came out of the 1939 scramble for football honors as co-champions of the Southwestern District of Wyoming. They were defeatedf only once in con¬ ference play, and that was by Kemmerer. Although we started the season as the big favorites, after the close shave at Afton—Tigers - 12, Afton - 7—the Rock Springs! stock went down. We were the underdogs thereafter against any supposed¬ ly strong team. Hotvever, the Tigers came out of the fray in excellent shape, win¬ ning seven out of ten hard-fought games.
