l ff' ff' A tense moment at a J.M.H.S. game. Thousands Enioyed .l.M.'s New Stadium The John Marshall Rockets, after getting off to a slow start, finished out the '58 season with one of the strongest clubs in the Big Nine. The Red and Black finished the year in third place, winning four out of eight conference tilts. When any club can lose its first four games and still hold its head above water, two primary factors stand out: the team has determination and top-notch coaching. Both of these were made evident by the Rockets in l958. One of the main causes of the early losses was the scheduling. Robbinsdale, our first opponent, ended its season in mythical first place for the state, while Austin and Owatonna, next on the Rocket's schedule, held first and second places, respectively, in our conference. Though the Faribault game was a heartbreaker, it marked the turning point of the season, sparked by Pat Macken's spectacular 95-yard kick-off return. The Northfield victory put the first notch in our win column. The following week the over confident Rockets lost to a determined Albert Lea club, but did not come home empty- handed. They brought with them the green banana, a symbol of defeat. But next week this was given back to Winona, as with the remaining games defeat was never synonymous with the team. To augment the suc- cessful note on which the season ended, co-captains Pat Macken and Pete Thorkelson were given berths on the All-Conference team, and Pat, Big Nine scoring champion, was placed on the WCCO All-State team.
