FOOTBALL I948-49 In keeping with Kearsley's ever-increasing athletic prowess, the 1948 varsity football squad enjoyed a very successful year, winning seven, tying one, and losing one. The Hornet eleven was fortunate in being well coached and ably staffed. The coaches were C. K. Richards, William Knudson, and Edward Stephons. The lettermen numbered hve. Among them were Left End Rayce Griswold, Left Tackle Virgil Lewis, Left Guard Bill LaLonde, Right Tackle Kenny I-lerriman, and Right End Ronnie Wickham. Kearsley won the first league game by beating Davison, 22 to 13. Left Tackle Virgil Lewis, captain, alternating in backfield, rushed the left guard position for the hrst tally. The conversion attempt failed but Left End Rayce Griswold came right back to score when he took a pass from Quarterback Don Godmar and scampered over. Lewis plunged for the extra point. Center jerry Robbins intercepted a Davison pass and ran 60 yards for the third touchdown of the second period. Lewis again rushed for the extra oint. Eavison scored once in the second period and once in the last, then a bad pass from center gave Kearsley a safety to complete the scoring. Fenton bowed to a quarterbaclcs arm in the second game of the season, the scoring honors going to Right Halfback Bob Geisenhaver and Fullback Keith Walker. Geisenhaver gathered in a pass from Quarterback Don Godmar and raced 26 yards for the only score. Walker carried the ball for the conversion, and the final score was Kearsley 7, Fenton 0. The power of the Hornet Eleven became apparent in the 26-to-0 thrashing handed to Flushing, Oct. 13. The only tally of the first quarter culminated a flurry of running plays with Right Halfback Bob Geisenhaver dashing over the line. He then tried lugging the leather for the con- version but failed. In the second quarter, Fullback Keith Walker smashed through after Quarterback Bob Lovett had threaded the needle to Left End Rayce Griswold for a 20-yard aerial gain. Walker crashed through again for the extra point. fConfinneil on Nexf Pagej Page 58 The 7949 KEARSLECHO
