At the opening of Lee Academy in September, the football outlook was dis- couraging, to say the least. Six of last season's string men failed to return to school, and it was necessary to develop a new backfield. However, with green candidates, coach Don Finley from U. of M., succeeded in making L. A.'s most successful foot- ball team. Ten games were played, of which L. A. won five, making a total of one hundred thirty-seven points to our opponents ninety-eight. SUMMARY. L.

The team played only nine games, however, owing to the small guarantees offered by outside teams. Gut of the nine games played, L. A. won seven, winning two victories from Danforth High, Champions of Washing- ton County. The only game lost to a high school, was to Belfast High, at Belfast, by a very small margin. SUMMARY. L.
