Jeff Lintem blocks a pass attempt. won easily, by a 35-6 margin, pre- paring for the big game with Char- don the next Friday. The Chardon game opened with a bang. Chardon scored first and added the extra points. The score did not remain in Chardon s favor for long, however, for we scored twice and added two points to lead at the half 14-8. With the league crown in sight, our boys went into the last half. Chardon scored again and tacked on the ex- tra points to gain the lead. But in the fourth quarter Madison took over the lead with another T.D. It looked like we would win, but Chardon slipped by for their last score and won 22-20. Regardless of our loss, spirits were still high on the 28th of Octo- ber as we traveled to Perry. White- washing Perry was easy for we beat them 35-0 to retain the Little Brown Jug” for the fourth year in a row. A week later, we delivered an- other fatal blow to an opposing team. We trampled Ashtabula Har- bor into the mud 22-0. This game proved to be Madison’s eighth and final win of the season. We met Riverside at home on November 11, in the last game of the season. The Beavers scored twice in the first period to take the lead. These twelve points were the only ones they scored. Our Streaks were unable to go any- where until the fourth period when they scored their only T. D. to lose 12-6. The Streaks enjoyed a very good season in what started out to be a rebuilding year. Our team scored 253 points for the year, and gave up only 70 to their opponents Out of eight wins, they had three shut-outs. In the end this year’s team presented the best season in a long while.

Dave Schupska and Dan Bums take a breather from the rough game. Six and one record make freshmen outstanding The freshman football squad excelled this season ending with an over-all record of six wins and on- ly one loss on the gridiron. Coach Bob Danner expressed his pride of the team but stated, Our team isn’t out to win or lose but to teach the fundamentals of football such as blocking and tackling.” The offensive squad was led in their attempts at scoring by quar- terback Mike Murry and fullback Jim Edmundson, while tackles Rod Fisher and Ken Williams were the strong point of the defensive line. All the credit must not be given to those boys only, because the re- mainder of the backfield and line played important parts in the good results of the season. The freshman squad had a dis- heartening season opener when they lost their first gridiron clash to Harvey. The team, however, gained momentum during the rest of the season to win the remainder of the games. Page 23
