Realizing their Tremendous potential and gaining confidence in their ability, the Mustangs upset predictions and racked up victories in the last two games of the season. This strong finish revealed the true quality of the fighting Mustangs whose prevalent competitive spirit never faded through the dark moments of previous struggles. ln the opening game of the season, the Mustangs were defeated by the powerful Austin varsity which went on to win the City Championship. No humiliation was suffered from the 31-13 loss. The Mustangs were edged 14-13 by Waukegan in their first Suburban League game. A failure to convert for the extra point and two Waukegan interceptions led to the ultimate defeat. ln the next game, a well coordinated Proviso backfield was the decisive factor in the Pirates 21-13 win. A re- called touchdown in the third quarter also played an important part in Morton's downfall. Against New Trier, Morton suffered its fourth loss of the season, succumbing to a three touchdown rally in the last quarter of play. This made the final score 25-13 favoring the Indians. A steel tight defense, reinforced by the keyed up homecoming atmosphere which prevailed, were the main reasons why the Mustangs held the powerful Evanston Wildkits to a 7-7 tie. Supplying the heroics were George Novak, Joe Albanese, and Art Siml. Page 224 f
