DICK WILSON CENTER The game withMason was the de- ciding factor whether we would win district or not, We lost, but here are s ome of the reasons: Hetherly, our fullback, had a hurt ankleg D e nn i s, our quarterback, had a hurt kne eg Hammett had a broken fingerg McMillan hurt his shoulder early in the gameg Bris- tol tw is ted his knee. The only player able to man the quarterback slot was Davis, although he played a good game, he lacked experience. L.ancaster,a guard, was moved to the backfield and proved his worth by scoring two touchdowns on long runs. TRUMAN HUGHES BACK Mason scored twice on passes and onc e on intercepted pa s s . The Badgers were behind 1413013 late in the fourth quarter and deep in Mason territory when a despera- tion pass was intercepted and car- ried back for a touchdown. The final score was Z0 to 13.
