9 4 M05 an evous Zuma The Allegan Tigers took their opener by a score of 30 to 0 over Wayland. The gridders were slow in getting started but succeeded in drawing first blood on a punt return by Ray Flynn. Scoring by Ken Welle, Jack Mclntire, Mickey Spidel, and Dean Ferris helped to make the 30 points. The local team was out-weighed,but they made up for it in spirit. All the conversions failed. Dowagiao won their game from us on the first play from scrimmage. After this distressing occurrence Allegan played a different brand of ball until the second quarter, when the Dowagiae Chiefs marched 53 yards for another score. But later in the same cento, Gearhart pounc- ed on a blocked punt to make the score l2 to 7 at the half. With the opening of the third period another score for the Chiefs raised the count to 18 to 7. Later in the same stanza a pass from Ferris to Molntire was good and the fray ended 18 to lb. In Allegan's third tilt of the season, with Plainwell, their second victory of the season was acquired. A 69-yard run by Spldel gave the Tigers a 6 to 0 triumph. Neither team threatened in the sec- ond or third quarters but Allegan, in the fourth, reached Pla1nwell's 12-yard line before being stopped. This was a hard-fought battle throughout. Allegan won a moral victory, O to O, with South Haven for their fourth contest. South Haven was favored by at least two touchdowns but the inspired Tigers offset prediction. We had eight first downs to South Haven's six. The closest the opponents came to the Tigers' goal was the 27-yard line, and the Otis outfit's best effort toward the Rams' goal was their 30-yard line. This was by far Allegen's best performance of the season. Our gridders lost their second conference game to Otsego by the score of 7 to 6. It necessitated just eight plays for us to tally in the opening quarter. But this wasn't enough--Otsego registered their touchdown and secured their crucial point shortly after the Tigers had scored theirs. The rest of the game was a grueling conflict with both teams contending for that 'extra yard.' On the Hastings field, Allegan turned the tables with a victory of 7 to 6. Hastings scored in the first half and dominated play throughout. With the start of the next period we returned, all keyed up, and operated like a different team. In the third quarter, Allegan
