The 1947 football season started one bright sunny afternoon In September. We had a new coach again and there were about 36 boys out for practice. After a couple of weeks the squad began to take shape. We had quite a few lettermen back form last year which helped a great deal. We tied Our homecoming game with Chetek as our foe. They took championship, but we tied them In a very hard fought battle. During the year we had a number of Injuries which handicapped us quite seriously. There were about six seniors who saw action this year. Dick Llchtenberg, Doug Klatt, and Lawrence Erickson are the only regulars graduating. Lawrence Emerson, Gene Gilbertson, Orville Anderson, were other seniors who saw action and will be missed next year. Altogether the prospects for the coming year look promising.
