The next game which was with Marysville was a tough one; It ended In a tie 0 to 0. Marysville had a couple of good opportunities to score, but M.C. showing their fighting spirit stopped them everytlrae. It was Just M.C. ' s bad day as far as scoring was concerned; they couldn ' t get going. Marysville would have tied us for the County Championship If Richmond had not beaten them the following week. Our last county game was with Algonac, but the Wildcats were right on the ball and beat them 12 to 0. It was the toughest game of the season as both teams were out for blood. Faucher made the first score In the second quarter on a 20 yard sprint around right end. B-oth teams fought hard In mid- field for the next quarter, but then In the third quarter M.C. worked Its way to Algonac ' s two yard line, where Lozon went over on a auart er-back-sneak. Algonac fought hard all the way but didn ' t get close enough to score, and M.C. walked off Champs once again. The last game of the season was a non-county game with Lakeshore. M.C. kept their record clean by winning 7 to 0. M.C. made their touchdown In the third auarter on a short buck by Holland, and Nichols added the extra point. It was the last time that some of the boys played for Marine City as 14 will graduate this year. The Orange and Black wound up an almost perfect season with an al- most perfect team, and we hope the coming teams will carry on the good work. John Holland
