It was a total lack of effort, the worst game I have ever been associated with , was the com- ment coming from Head Coach Burrows.

The bulldogs rushed 26 times for 88 yards and gathered 41 yards passing, fum- bling twice. Many missed assignments and a noticeable lack of enthusiasm made this year's Homecoming score 41-0, in favor of the Ellison Eagles.
