Football On September 14-, 194-5, twenty-eight young, hopefuls, answered the call for foot- ball candidates. Coach Bronson was confronted with the task of rounding a team into shape by September 18, when We were to face the strong Maz'omainie six. Four lettermen form- ed a nucleus for the team and they were Ralph Severson and Michael Borman, halfbacks; Bill Frome and Donald Bergum ends. The seasons opener found us on the short end of a 25-0 score. Mazomainies pass- ing attack had been just too much for us. The following week DeForest invaded us and em- erged the victor 32-6. On November 1, we opened the league season at Mazomainie once more we were beaten. The game was free scoring affair with the final count being 51-27 in favor of Mazomainie. The following game was the mo st exciting one of the year. Verona beat us on a touchdown in the last few minutes of the game, the final score being 20-18. Our homecoming game was with Argyle and the boys in blue played their hearts out before the beefy Argyle sextette pushed a touchdown over late in the last quarter. The Black Earth team couldn,t get their offense rolling and time after time Argyle was stopped inside the 15 yard line. We ended the season with a 48-7 drubbing at the hands of an aggressive Belleville team. Thus our season ended with six defeats and no victories. Six Seniors ended their football careers and each w on a letter. They were Victor Goderstad, Leland Stopple- worth, Michael Borman, Ralph Severson, Robert Lorenz and Bill Frome. Bill Frome was elected captain for the season. Mazomainie and DeForest won the sectional titles and DeForest emerged the grand champion by virtue of a victory over Mazomainie in the playoffs.
