Black-Foxe is a small school with a large athletic program, cmd everyone fits in some- where. We do our share of winning and our share of losing, and we can give as well as take. The making of an athlete is the final step in forming the leaders so de- sired at Black-Foxe. The program is good and it is carried out well under the able supervision of Capt. Dowd. ATHLETICS

The Bull- ife dogs opener found them playing listlessly and with little enthusiasm. Their pass defense, as in their 1 scrimmages, was weak and directly responsible for two of Mission's touchdowns. 1 The Blue and Gold put on their one fine offensive showing of the day in the fourth quarter. With fj Orens doing most of the carrying, the Bulldogs marched 50 yards -- Orens going over from the two. i'0nly Orens and Paschall played up to par. The next week the Cadets were trounced by Webb, 41-0, but surprisingly this could be called 1 .jf team's best game. The score at the end of the half read 7-0. The long Webb bench proved too is ' 51 uch for the Bulldogs and Webb scored five times in the last half. if ' The Bulldog pass defense showed a tremendous improvement over last week. Also the Cadets' passing attack clicked with precision. Orens completing 7 out of 14, most to end Cooper. Their play 1 ' .... ' t calling was well mixed, keeping the defense on their toes. 4 A . Harvard tallied seven touchdowns to down B-F 45-O in one of the roughest games of the year ' and successfully defended its Prep League Championship. Norb Orens and Eddie Paschall, both M seniors, were chosen co-captains before the game. A ' The fourth loss was handed out by Cate, 20-7. All the Cate scores came in the second quarter as the Cadets led by Rothschild and Cooper held the opposition in the last half. For the first time B.F I unveiled its spread formation. 1,411 fn The Bulldog's lone talley came in the third period. In seven plays, starting on their own twen- ty, B-F went 80 yards, Orens scoring on a thirty-five yard slice off left guard and then running over the conversion. Although tied by Boys' Republic in their next outing, 13-13, the passing combination of Orens to Russell and the fullbacking for the first time of Paschall worked successfully. Orens scored from the one, climaxing a fifty-nine yard drive in eight plays in the second quar- ter. The extra point was good. ln the final period, behind 13-7, the Cadets, sparked by the fine pass catching of Russell, ram- bled fifty-two yards in ten plays. Paschall plunged over from the two. The defensive unit again held the opposition scoreless in the second half. B-F lost its final game to Temple City, 20-0, to bring their final standing at no wins, five losses, and one tie. Six seniors, Orens, Paschall, Cooper, Rothschild, Warner, and Pollock played their final game for the Blue and Gold.
