Cross Town Rivals Bid Us Farewell. Although the Coyotes were flaw- less in Memorial Stadium, the game was much closer than the score indicates. The Coyotes struck first blood and the Husky defense held them as the first half ended 7 - 0. However, it was an- other case of playing well, but losing in the final quarter. The game with cross-town rival Rider High School is always an- ticipated with a great deal of ex- citement which increased with the early lead taken by the Hus- kies against an outstanding foot- ball team. However, it is an old story . . . we lost again in the last quarter! A persistent Husky wrestles the ball from a Coyote in hopes of a Husky victory!
