What's that noise? You guessed it. Some boy is walking down Baker's halls with his ever popular taps on the bottom of his shoes. lt seems to be quite a tad around Baker these days for the boys to wear taps or black suede shoes. As for the girls they would rather have a middy blouse any day. It seems all the girls think these blouses are iust darling. lt also is quite a fad around Baker for ct girl to let you know it she's available to date.

THE BAKER ROCKET PAGE FIVE U.J.H. NIPS SPIRITED BUCKAROOS by Delbert Moberg and Gerry Heath The U.I.H. Eagles cinched a championship title by defeating the Baker team 25 to 2l and ended a defeatless season. Sparked by Mike Cotton, Lonnie Reed, and Charles Weiss the Eagles romped to a 25-O halftime score. But a pep talk by Coach Hickerson sent the Baker team into the second half with fighting spirit. Bill Hccmilton on a handoff from Waye Fickel scampered 62 yards for a touchdown but was called back because of an infrac- tion of the rule. But on the next play Fickel again called for Ham- ilton who once again went sixty- two yards for a T.D. Bill then went over for the extra point. A few minutes later Hamilton ran up the middle for 30 yards and a touch- down. Don Fincher' made the extra point and the score stood U.1.H. 25 and Baker l4. Another fumble which was recovered by Victor Mokry set up another tally. Hamilton on a delayed buck through the center scored his third T.D. Iimmy Kanetzky went over for the extra point. The Eagles took possession with about 3 minutes left and racked up a couple of first downs to run the clock. Outstanding play- for Baker included Don Ren- out ers ner, Ernest McCarver, Allen Rog- Ierry Marx, Terry Scar- ers, borough, Wiley Wyman, and Iohn Thompson. We could name a whole load of players, but instead we will say the whole Baker squad played grand and we wish them better luck next time. f STATISTICS ' Baker U.I.H.

ALLAN EDGES BAKER 7-0 by Gerry Heath and Delbert Moberg The Allan Bulldogs scored mid- way during the third quarter to slip past the Baker eleven in a rough, tough, and hard fought game until the sound of the whistle ending the game. Iesse Hernandez sparked the Bulldogs on offense with a beautfiul bit of trick running and pitchout plays. Iimmy Martinez on a handoff from quarterback Hernandez went over for the only score of the game. Hernandez passed to Martinez for the extra point. Baker's Don Fincher, took a handoff from quarterback Roger Wilkinson to out run the Allan defense for 3U yards for one of the outstanding plays of the game. Ierry Marx got Baker out of a driving attack by the Bulldogs by intercepting a Hernandez pass and running it back 25 yards to give Baker possession of the ball. Ierry Scar- borough, Bill Hamilton, and the Wiman brothers were very out- standing during the game. Don Renner, Iohn Thompson and Ern- est McCarver also were in there most of the game. In the other game McCallum Scotties defeated the Travis Rebels I9-7. STATISTICS Baker Allan Passes attempted ...... 5 4 Passes completed ......
