Baier, Olson, Goldsmith Brown ' I Coach Ralph Spencer worked miracles with a group of light, inexperienced boys in developing them into a well-balanced team. Although outplaying Lanesboro in the opening game of the season, the Gophers lost by a score of 6-0. Bouncing back, they crushed Spring Grove 26-0 in a glorious Home- coming iinish. Sparked by two interceptedfpasses in the last quarter, the Gophers took another Homecoming cel- ebration at Plainview, 12-0. The next game proved to be a heart-breaker at Preston, when the boys lost to the district champs, 7-6. They finished district play by downing Rushford 7-6 and Harmony 20-0. Because of a hard-fighting team and an aerial combination of Colquhoun and Grim that clicked consistently, and Captain Ray Waller's all-'round play, Chatfield closed the season with a well-earned triumph over Stewartville, 12-7. The annual Armistice Day game with St. Charles was postponed be- cause of a severe blizzard. In the whole season, The Gophers counted 83 points to the opponents' 26. Letter winners were: Seniors-Ray Waller, Ian Colquhoun, Stanley Manahan, Bernard Canney, Maro Evans, George Schenmerhorn, Ralph Thorson, Burton McBroom, Warren Brown, and Robert Lam- pe. Underclassmen-George Grim, Paul Gehrke, Robert Amundson, Jim Lynch, John Sisson, LeRoy Haagenson, Owen Paulsen, Claire Bennett, John Laivell, Myron Olson, and Manager Billy Connelly.
