FOOTBALL The Red Arrow football team, under the coach- ing of Mr. Howe, and Mr. Kelly, proved fairly suc- cessful by winning three, losing four, and tying one. Mainly due to the Asian flu and iniuries, Lowell was able to win only one conference game, that being over Rockford, but also tied second place with Grandville. However, the Arrows won both non- conference games, downing Ionia and Greenville. In Lowell's opening game against Ionia, the Arrows were victorious by a score of 19-7 With plenty of confidence Lowell went into conference play against Wyoming Park. but the Vikings, with a much im- proved ball club, downed the Arrows l2-6. Lowell's third encounter was with East Grand Rapids, with Lowell being defeated by a score of l8-O. The next game was the Homecoming for Lowell, which put the Arrows against Grandville. Lowell looked as if they had the game won as they scored in the first half and converted to go ahead 7-O, but the Bulldogs scored in the final half to give Lowell its lone tie of the season, 7-7. The following game was with a fast and experienced Godwin crew who downed Lowell to the tune of 32-2. The Arrows then went to face a small, but tricky Lee team which defeated an iniury laden Lowell squad l6-l3. The following was a victory for the Red Arrows as they downed Rock- ford at the Rams field, by a score of 26-O. The final game of the season was with Greenville. The game was strictly an offensive battle with Lowell winning by a 39-3l decision. This ended the i958 football cam- paign. When it came to individual honors, Tony Storm- zand was voted Most Valuable by the team, and received second team All Conference backtield by the Press. Also, lineman Dick Conners received All Valley on the Herald's second team as end, for his fine block- ing and pass receiving.

There are Iettermen return- ing, however, that should put our racketmen high in the standings for the i958 season. Much is ex- pected from ace players like Bob White and Jack Hartley, who will carry the hopes tor a more im- pressive season next spring. However, the team played fine tennis, and most of the matches were close. Lettermen of the season were: Bob White, Jock Harltey, Jack Nash, Eugene Champion, Don Heaven, Jim Williams, Ron Wood, and Dick Ward.
