Jerry Wegner, Orville Hansen Edmore finished third in the county standings behind Lakeview and Sheridan. After winning only two out of the first five games, Edmore finished the latter half of the season by winning four out of five, giving them an over-all season record of 6 wins and 4 losses. This record is much better than it sounds for the two previous years the Panthers never won a single contest. Dennis Gorsuch and Lanny Davis composed the main battery through the year. Larry Beach and Frank Cutler will be missed next year because of graduation.
