Prospectus FOOTBALL The football season opened with only two weeks in which to work a team into condition to meet the plucky team from Caro. The prospects did not look very bright for a while, but by the time for the game the team looked pretty classy. There were only eight experienced men from last year, but they consti- tuted a very valuable part of the line-up. They were: Capt. Trine, Barringer, Love, Day, Minardo, Jenkins, Haughlie, LaBranch, and Glidden. The first game was a knockout for Flint, and Caro went home with a 27-0 defeat on their shoulders. With victory fresh in their minds, the Red-Blacks traveled to Grand Haven where the stranger’s team handed our boys a fine defeat of 27-0. The new coach, “Big Bill Muir,” brought new ideas and fresh determination with him, and the team went into the Detroit Northern game with great gusto. The “Eskimos” had victory w ritten all over their faces, but the Red-Blacks sur- prised them with a fine brand of game, and Detroit returned with a 13-6 defeat.

Prospectus 1927 FOOTBALL (Continued) Saginaw Arthur Hill came up to Flint with their old vengence, but they could not equal the Flint spirit, and were defeated in a hard fought game of 7-0. With great confidence and three victories to their name, the Red-Blacks journeyed to Saginaw Eastern. The team had a little ill luck and a muddy field to play on, and Saginaw edged them 10-6. Minardo pulled a ligament in his leg and it was thought that he would be out the rest of the season. The Grand Rapids Central Catholic game was another discouragement to the Red-Blacks, when they were beaten by an 8-3 decision. Two defeats in a row were tough on all Flint, but the fine old fighting spirit came back and our team dropped Pontiac a nice loss, winning by a margin of 26-12. “Sid” Haughlie played his last game for Flint, because his twentieth birthday came the next week.
