Then they yielded their next game, 29-17, to Plainwell, Dec. 8. Three in a row! The reserves succumbed to South Haven, Dec. 12. At the half, the score was tied, 8-8, but in the third cento the Rams forged ahead, 1l6 12n Huzzah! The young Tigers won their first tilt, Dec. 19, by overpowering Dowagiac, 25-17. Victory No. 2 came on Dec. 22 when Allegan drubbed the tall Zeeland clan, 29-17, after the Chicks held a two-point margin at the half, 11-9. After the holidays, on Jan. 5, the Otsego second team collapsed before the attack of the Cubs, 28-2L. Now enjoying a three-game-winning record, the junior varsity, on Jan. 12, fell prey to the Hastings Reserves, 29-20. The little Tigers could not overcome a 22-19 deficit in the third period. A week later, on Jan. 19, the Zeeland reserves again met their Waterloo, when Allegan eked out a 19-17 win. Again the reserves dropped a contest, Jan. 23, to the South Haven outfit, 27-21, although the Cubs were pacing their opponents, 21-19, at the end of three quarters of play. Eager for revenge, the Otsego reserves on Jan. 26, nevertheless, received their second defeat at the hands of the Cubs, 29-18. Bang, the Cubs' second battle with the Plainwell team, Feb. 2, developed in to a rout. For a few moments we matched point for point, but wllted rapidly to lose out , 107-23- Bang, bang! Paw Paw edged the reserves here, Feb. 6, 27-2L, in a hard- fought encounter. Bang, bang, bang! The Allegan seconds trailed all the way and were defeat- ed by Hastings, 19-13, on Feb. 10. At last Fortune smiled again and the Tiger reserves copped the first game in the Ottawa-Allegan tournament, when they beat Plainwell, 27-19, on Feb. 13. Ales, however, in the tournment final Al1egan's reserves were easily trim- med, 22-12, by Zeeland. The outcome was never in doubt. As a finale the Cubs broke up a lL-game victory string of Pew Pew there, Feb. 23, by squeezing out a 25-2b win.

By virtue of the victory over Ludlngton, Allagan was billed against Grand Haven in the Regional finals on Saturday night, March 10. Displaying great form, the Tigers stepped out in front at the quarter, 16-13. Grand Haven rallied to lead at the half, 28-2b, and than poured on the heat to extend the gap to LO-31 at the three-quarter mark. The Orange and Black, obviously fatigued, still battled vallantly until the final gun. The score was L7-37, but in losing to Grand Haven, the Tigers derived satisfaction from the fact that Jack Mclntlre with 23 points, or more than half of the locals' total, was the individual star of the tussle. With the graduation of Mclntire, Flynn, Ferris, Woolf, and Sisson, the l9b5-L6 squad will be obliged to alter its lineup, but it will have the incentive of equal- ling or surpassing the record of this year's team. With Hough, Spldel, and May, how- ever, as a nucleus, and Webb, Wilcox, Meyer, and other promising candidates coming up from the reserve group, Allegan should enjoy another good season.
