Q...'.16i Frosh squad fmished year with 5-1 slate Freshman football coaches Jim Boyd and Steve Jeffrey put together a winning combination for the team this year, win- ning five of six. The season was highlighted by two close games. Each was decided by two points, BHS coming out on top of Mississinewa, 14-12, and Marion jones, 16-14. The season's only loss came at the hands of area rival Elwood, 24-0. This game was the only time that the young Bruins were held scoreless, and was also the only time that the Cubs failed to do well on the ground or in the air. Hunt- ington, Bluffton, and Portland were met with defeat from the Bruin Cubs by scores of 44-6, 32-6, and 28-16, re- spectively. The yardage gaining attack of the Cubs was progressing and the de- fense was shining. The coaching staff was pleased with the performance of the freshman athletes, according to Coach Boyd, who said the team had a lot of spirit and determination and, of course, hustle. For the entire season, the young Bruins averaged 22.7 points per game, while holding their opponents to an average of 12.5 points. Frorb gridder: found the numeral 74 was but one of the reward: for their efforts.

Cub gridders had 4-3 year Junior Varsity football for the '70 sea- son progressed much the same as the varsity. The Cubs finished 4-3, winning four of the first five games. In the opener, the Cubs lost the ball nine times to lose to Wabash, 28-14. However, the passing of sophomore Tim Oberholzer was a help in the next four wins, in succession, over Southern Wlells, 20-7g Portland, 30-Og Delta, 28-O, and Mississinewa 30-0. The passing of young Oberholzer was responsible for 64 of the Cub points in the season. The final two games were the hardest for the gridders, who lost to rival Bluffton 22-8, in a game that saw the op- position dominate every phase of the game, and to Muncie South, who dealt with BHS much the same way as Bluff- ton had, or1ly by a different score, 28-7. Good hustle and determination, Coach Jack Kovell said, made the team good.
