The Fairmont Tigers started the season with only one starting senior and several first year regulars. The Tigers looked good in their last three games. They lost to a veteran Clay Center team and then after leading Daven- port 12-2 going into the fourth quarter faded by 14-12. They whacked Chester and then spotted Shickley 20 points in the first half and then played a scoreless second half. The Tigers battled Polk a rated Class D team 7-7 at half time before losing 21-7. Friend was a tough Class C foe and barely beat the Tigers. Then Fairmont played one of its poorest game in beating Dorchester. In the final 2 games the Tigers could not generate in offense. With lettermen returning at all positions, but one and having a good defense the Tigers will have to get an offense going next season to be successful. This years offensive starters were Bob Murrell and Steve Thomsen, at guard; Mark Schepers and Jamey Pankoke at tackle; Rod Ehmen and Dave Koozer at ends and Geep Machal at center. Bill Bauman was GB. Don Marget was FB. LeRoy Klipp was tailback and Derrie Nelson was flankerback. 31 Defense displays successful pursuit! Tigers Have Talent BACK ROW Dennis Ehmen, Jamey Pankoke. Rod Ehmen.
