The notivealrle shortage of vivtories this season was due largely to a small squad and injuries to players whose presenee meant much to the team. Out of 1' total of nine games. the team encountered seven setlmac-ks. The remaining two games ended in a 7-7 tie with Haneoek and 1- lil-03 victory over the Ontonagon Polar Bears. During' the season. the team traveled to Marinette, XVisconsin. where they played a niprht game with the strong' Marinette Hiprh St-hool eleven. Although the Hougrhtonites were defeated lay a 32-tl sc-ore, the boys gave all they had. Houg:hton's team had the disad- vantage of being outweighed. Bill Peltier was selet-ted as right taelile on the Popper Country All-Star eleven. Hank Hohlra. an eo-vaptain ot' the Houghton eleven. was Chosen as a halflmaek and hon- orary captain on the All-Star second team.
