FUUTBALL The iniury-plagued Bulldogs ended their T955 gridiron campaign with a record of four wins, four defeats, and a tie. The DHS gridders averaged a fine 4.4 yard for each rushing attempt. Also outstanding in the statistic department was the 34.6 yard average for each punt. Gary Mix ended his four years of varsity ball by being named honorary captain of l l awwiaa the 1955 Bulldog squad. He was handi- capped greatly throughout the season be- cause of leg iniuries. Jerry Meyers, who won All-Ohio and All- American honors, was the work-horse, carry- ing the ball 165 times and averaging 5.'l yards per try. He also led in scoring, making 49 out of the total of l'lO points made by the Bulldogs. Coach Rex Burke ended his fourth year as head football coach feeling that, although the team didn't have one of the best team records, it was the best respected team he had coached. He was assisted by Don Hampshire and Charles Pixler. Coaches Burke, Pixler, and Hampshire map out a little gridiron strategy. l
