Eddie Wah, honorary captain of the football team and a hard hitting veteran fullback saw rela- tively little action with his team mates this year be- cause of a foot injury which had laid him up the third day of practice. Ed- die’s passing, blocking and ball carrying ability will be hard to equal in yearsto come. Through the efforts and personality of Coach Tommy Johnson, the ath- letic season just closed could be called a very successful one. Tommy came to Grant in 1942 from McKenzie High and since that time he has built up the standards of athletics to suchan extent that Grant is looked up to as one of the leaders in B class competition in this section of the state GRANT 35, FOSSIL 0 Showing a balance of power on the ground and in the air, the Grant High Prospectors drove to an impressive victory over the Fossil Falcons in the seasons highest offensive victory. In the first quar- ter the Prospectors dampened the Falcons’ spirit with a total of 116 yards gained from scrimmage to Fossil’s 5 yards. The scoring drive covered 31 yards in 7 plays. The Falcons contributed to their own defeat by fumbling several times deep in their own territory. GRANT 7, HEPPNER 7 For the last three years the Grant-Heppner clash has marked a championship game with two very evenly manned teams pitted against each other in a fight to win. This year there were still two very even teams with a fighting spirit. Grant lead at half-time 7-0, but the Mustangs quickly evened things with a touchdown early in the third quarter. Grant won with more first downs than Heppner. GRANT 13, BURNS 27 Overcoming an early 7-0 deficit, the Burns High Bulldogs romped to their second consecutive win over the Prospectors in the Traditional Armistice Day battle. Grant scored immediatley after the opening kick-off, with the scoring march consuming 60 yards in 9 plays. Burns then took over and put over four touchdowns before Grant again came to life, this time too late. The second Prosoector TD came midway in the fourth period from a last-ditch drive from the 3-yard line. Grant again threatened, but the gun ended the fray before a score could be pushed across. 10
