The varsity football squad over- came early season reverses to end the season with five victories and five defeats. The Watsontown tilt was closely matched, the Huskies winning the decision by three points. Only in the games with Milton, Northumberland, and Dan- ville were the green Dragons completely outplayed. The Mifflinburg game lowered the curtain on the high school football careers of seven seniors: George Kauffman, Myron Shirk, Dick Beck, Dick Donahoe, Jack Burns, Charles Krebs, and Jack Casselberry.

Handicapped by lack of experi- 1 ence, the Green Dragons of Coach Andrew Sember were able to win only two games during the 1951 season. The Green and White, 1 950 The 1950 Lewisburg High School football team came through the season with a record of four wins and five losses. Seven of the. nine games, Selinsgrove and Bellefonte being the two exceptions, were close, hard fought encounters which could have gone either way. Probably the highlight of the campaign was the 7-6 upset of the highly regarded Milton Panthers. The following game was a heart-breaking 19-13 defeat at the hands of Northumberland. After this game the Dragons suffered heavily from injuries to key players for the remainder of the season. After the final game coach Andy Sember said farewell to seniors Troutman, Mathews, Jurst, Berger, Flick, Libby, Hoffman, L. Sauers, V. Sauers, Deans, Bowersox and Johnson. however, had no reason to feel ashamed of their performance, for several games on their nine-game schedule could easily have gone the other way. Lewisburg dropped closely-con- tested decisions to Trevorton, Bellefonte, Watsontown, and Sel- insgrove. Probably the most excit- ing game of the season was the Bellefonte game. Entering the fray as underdogs by four touchdowns, the Green and White gave their opponents a real battle before losing by one point.

1 The 1953 Season The 1953 season saw one of the greatest aggregations that ever represented Lewisburg on the gridiron. After losing the opening game to Bloomsburg in the last three minutes of play, the Green and White came back to trounce a Milton eleven --the second team in L.H.S. history to accomplish this. Next the Dragons suffered defeat at the hands of Northumberland, however, the rest of the season was a triumph for coaches and players, who compiled the best record the Dragons had since the resumption of football as a major sport. A highlight of the season was the victory over a powerful Danville team, the first over the lronmen in the annals of L.H.S. Another first was the victory over Watsontown. The team was the second in Lewisburg history to defeat Milton i Lewisburg 0 Lewisburg 35 Lewisburg 0 Lewisburg 7 Lewisburg 20 Lewisburg 31 Lewisburg 14 Lewisburg 14 Lewisburg 20 and Selinsgrove, and the first to finish among the top four in the Susquehanna Football League. The victory over Mifflinburg in the final game of the season brought back the Little Brown Jug, lost to Mifflinburg last spring.
