They were winless throughout the season but fought to a 20-20 tie for the all important Homecoming game. The losses were credited to inexperience and size but never tolack of spirit or good sportsmanship. Keeping their fighting spirit against almost impossible odds, the boys played their very best from the opening kickoff to the final whistle without ever letting up. Their record, though not impressive, shows the promise of future victories from a team who refused to give up, regardless of the score. STARTING BACKS: KNEELING: T. C.
