W? asdgww ww JS' ootoafl The 1949 schedule for the Gering Bulldogs was exceedingly hard, and to add to the situation, most of the tough games were away from home. Five of the nine games were played on foreign territory. To open the season Gering defeated Crawford 39 to 19. Ht this first game, a new electric clock and scoreboard was dedicated. The following game played at Minatare, found G-ering downed by the Indians 24 to U. The Bulldogs next traveled to Bayard to tie up a game 7 to 7. Despite rain and mud Chadron was defeated 34 to 6, and the following week, at another home game, Gering bowed to a score of l9 to 7 to the Torrington Trailblazers. MINUTES SECUNDS F ..... mf psi, GERING VI it ,.......t ln the next three games, played away from home, Gering came out even with a victory, a tie, and a loss. The first was with Kimball whom we defeated 13 to 6, the second found Gering and Bridgeport tied l3 to l3 and the last a victory for Sidney l9 to O.
