FOOTBALL September 2. 1946. twenty -four hopeful boys reported to coach Harvey Bronson to compose the football squad. A fairly successful season was expected, due to the fact that the first team averaged about 150 pounds. Last years team averaged 130 pounds. Only two games were played, however, when our first team cen- ter tBernard Bergumt and half backtWendall AndersorQ respectively were stricken with polio. Due to this fact all remaining games were cancelled. The remainder of the team was quarantined for two weeks. The opening game of the season was played with our beloved neigh- bor Mazomanie at Mazomanie under the lights. The Black Earth grid- ders were edged out 26-13. It was, however. a well played game, but Mazo being a little faster end heavier had a decided edge. Our second and final game of a very short season was played against De Forest at De Forest under the lights. De Forest as usual had some big boys. Their strategy in the first half was a ground at- tack. 1n the second half they took to the air and played beautifully. The big boys proved to be too much for the Earthmen and they were snowed under 27 -6. These two games would probably have been the toughe st of the whole season. Undoubtedly the team would have had an excellent season as they were improving by leaps and bounds.
