By winning three conference games, losing two and tying one, they finished third in the newly formed Big 8 conference. The Bulldogs started the season's practice August 20th. The first week of practice was directed princi- pally at getting in shape with mostly exercises to tighten loose, flabby summer vacation muscles. The next week's practice became rougher with a few scrimmage games and running of plays, getting ready for that opening game with Dexter. The first few days of practice found 76 young, eager athletes. The team was studded with 12 re- turning lettermen. Among the 76 were 14 freshmen whom Coach Bona had to drill and train. The long-awaited first game of the season finally came with the Bulldogs traveling to Dexter in a non- conference battle. The Dexter Bearcats were eager and ready to go but not nearly as heavy or experi- enced as the Bulldogs. With Bess and Hodges doing the scoring for the Bulldogs, Sikeston emerged vic- torious by a score of 21-0. The next week Sikeston met Jackson in their first conference game on Sikeston's home field. The in- spired Jackson Indians held the Bulldogs to a 0-0 tie. For the next game Sikeston traveled to Caruth- ersville to play their second conference game. The Bulldogs didn't score until the closing min- utes of the first half when Bess broke loose and romped 80 yards for a touchdown. The next half the Sikeston crew rolled up two more touchdowns to make the final score 19-0. The next Friday found Sikeston playing host to Perryville in Sikeston's third conference game. The Bulldogs were out for revenge but it didn't come until the game was almost over and Davis scored from the 12-yard line. When the final whistle blew Sikeston was ahead 7-0. ao-aafzfain Olfozvazcl goofgaa' Quan. cfulg Uicfwslf do-cahbain Bzusff ginznrz
