THE MlDGET'S T950 FOOTBALL SEASON The 1950 football season proved to be o successful year for the roaring Midgets, as anyone can see from the accompanying list of scores. The Hurley eleven won five games, tied one, and lost one. The lone defeat of the season was at the hands of a powerful Duluth Central team. Hurley met the Park FalI's team in the opening game of the season and with the whistle sound- ing the end of the game the two teams walked off the field with a I4-I4 tie. In the next game, which was against Calumet, the Midgets gained momentum and racked up a 33-6 count against the green team. After that Coach MeIvin's Oredockers visited the Midgets on our dust bowl . Following the game the Oredackers cleaned the rich dust from their eyes and found themselves on the low ena of o 49-0 count. Hurley, the underdog, next was the host to a powerful Ironwood team who supposedly was able to score at will. The ever fighting Midgets showed new drive and stamina against these pink demons, and the visitors were stunned. With continuous long runs through dust clouds and around gopher holes the Midgets came out on top, and again exhibited to the spectators another fine team molded out by the hands of Vergamini and Gianunzio. The Red Devils, with a IB-0 defeat, stumbled across the border river and licked their wounds at home. The mighty Midgets then met the powerful Duluth Central group, who proved to be our Waterloo, and humbly bowed to them with a 34-6 count. The Bessemer Speed Boys played host ta the Midgets at their field under lights and were properly traunced 33-0. The Speedboys obligingly dropped into place like a piece from a iigsaw puzzle, alter being held scoreless along with the other conference teams, ta complete a perfe't conference season for the Midgets. Hurley racked up 99 points in con- ference games while holding Iranwood, Bessemer, and Ashland, the teams comprising the Mich-Wis. Conference opponents, scoreless. The famous dust bowl of Hurley High will be forgotten and used only as a practice field in the years to come for the new field, which is expensively lighted, will be used for the first time next year. The services of FIinging Florian Helinslri will be lost, as he graduates this year, but such players as Gfandelis, Cornolo, ond Johnson will have the privilege of playing varsity ball on the new field for one year at least.
