Sent ors Un a ere I a ssmen vs C HOBABLY the hardest fought games of the football season were the two senior-under-classmen games. These games, played after school in the Athens Dust Bowl, were something new for the A. H. S. football fans. The frenzied spectators witnessed games full of thrills, excitement, and local color. Tension was high last period before Coach Fran Storelli’s “Natural Eleven” first took the field against the underclassmen. Coach Tom Twigg had drawn each player to a fine edge and each man transmitted his feeling of “do or die” to an enthusiastic Senior Cheering section led by Joan Palmer and Amy Struble. The great Senior team of veterans and newcomers walloped the Childs-led underclassmen. During half time inspired Senior rooters drilled before teams and grandstand leaving only by insistance of the referees, Tom Jones and Bob Martin. The next game saw Coach Childs and his underclassmen ready to meet the foe and PLOW them under. A gallant Senior team played well and fought hard, but missed stars, Bob Hopkins, Dave Rhoads, Dick Schrier, Cal Wayman, Johnny Forbes, and Stub Campbell all of whom were disqualified for the second game. Despite desperate playing on the part of Senior veterans, Dave Arnold, Rod Horton, Ed Rogers, Dick Covey, Charles Havens, Gib Rogers, Bob Twigg, Howard DeFrahn, Dick Eike, and several helpful underclassmen, the underclassmen eked out a victory. All during the game a magnificent, eleven piece Senior Band rendered several selections and at half time the band plus several senior girls with placards, performed. The senior underclassmen games were a delightful “something new” this year. Let’s hope there will be more of these fun filled games.
