In the traditional Armistice game, the Gorillas slithered and slid through a sea of snow and slush before their home crowd to defeat the Winner Warriors 30-0. The Gregory Gorillas and the Burke Bull- dogs met on November 14 to decide the Rosebud Football Championship. The game was played at Gregory on a field that had turned into a quagmire as the result of another thaw. To hear a player say he went forward one step and slipped back two was nothing uncommon. The game ended in a tie and ordinarily both teams would have claimed the cham- pionship but in a meeting before the game, it was decided the Dickenson rating system should be used in case of a tie. So according to that System, the Gorillas alone were Rosebud Conference Football Champions. At the end of the season, fifteen players were awarded letters. They included: Scotty Whitley, Don lflickman. Stanley Johnson, Art Hrunz, Jim Kucera, Frank Kucera, lion Dunn, Floyd Winkler, liuther llappen, Sam Happen, Hen Godager, Verlyn Springer, .lim Hlayka and Jerry Jones. Roy Hasche, foot- ball manager. was also lettered. Art Brunz and Scotty Whitley were chosen as Co- Captains. Verlyn Springer ci set SGW -Lyn If up 01-I., Jerry Jones, Verlyn Springer, Scotty Whitley
