The nuelells of the team consisted of mainly sixth graders. along with the added talents of a few fifth and seventh grade boys. The Colonial Roadcrs met Harvey on the King grid- iron or their first game. King played an excellent offensive and defensive game, never yielding an inch to their foes from Harvey. Chuck Yergara and George Smith were thc touchdown makers as King defeated Harvey by the score of 14-0. ,lohn Kellogg. Fred Utter- bein, and George Reese were outstanding on the de- fensive line.
