Working with inexperienced players, Coach Wright concentrated on the teaching of the fundamental elements of football, blocking, tackling, passing, and pass receiving. Along with the new coach, Arlington also began its first season in Six-Man Football. The Honkers, starting off rather slowly showed progress and improvement throughout the season and the best performance was the second game against the traditional rivals of Condon High School, when the Honkers defeated the Blue Devils, 45-12. The season schedule is as follows: Arlington - 35 Glenwood - 42 Arlington Mitchell Arlington Wasco Arlington Boardman Arlington Spray Arlington Condon Arlington Condon
