SARASOTA GAME PLANT CITY GAME REVIEW Coach Bob Pitman was transferred irom Bartow, where he had an outstanding record. With him he brought Coach Bill Stephens and Coach Ioe Rous- seau as assistants. Under a new coach and with a new system to learn. the boys of B. H. S. began practice. After a few weeks the squad received a disheartening blow. as Coach Stephens was called into the Air Corps. The Wave was weakened for the opening game with Plant by injuries and ineligibilities, and lost 25 to 12. The Wave was watched the next week by all members ot the conference as it made its bow in conference competition at Ft. Myers. The Braden- ton eleven. under the new coach. won an easy vic- tory at Ft. Myers and went on undefeated during the remainder of the schedule. Arcadia and Punta Gorda were the Wave's next victims by wide mar- gins. Plant City. a leader in the Big Ten. was held scoreless the next week. while the Pitman offense was pushing over two touchdowns and an extra point. The next week Wauchula was beaten with the Wave reserves playing most of the game. Coach Pitman worked the Bradenton eleven hard for their next game. Bartow. The Iacket eleven was undefeated as was the Wave. As game time drew near. the largest delegation ever to follow a Braden- ton team went to Bartow. The Wave. being in form. and out to win for its new coach. beat the Iaclcets by a decisive score. 31 to 6. Winter Haven fell by a 32 to 7 score the next week. and then the Wave got ready to meet the Mulberry Panthers. Ridge Champions, the following week. The Panthers' high scoring back. M'Quady. was stopped. while the Wave was rolling up 28 points. The Wave then got ready to journey to Sarasota to battle its most bitter rivals. The first half was slow. with the score stand- ing l2-6 in the Wave's favor. After the half the Wave began to roll and engulfed the Sailors by the score of 38-12. one of the largest scores ever run up by either team in the long rivalry of the two schools. Managers Sheffield and Westbrooke
