The Burros were determined to come out of their slump and met B.G.A. on our home field for the fifth game of the season. After the game was over the score read 34 to 6 in Hillsboro's favor. The team scored three times in the first six minutes. Tom Robinson, Novus Henry, jack Wakefield, and Nicky Coutras all played outstanding defensive as well as offensive games for Hillsboro. Next came the test. We were to play Isaac Litton on their home Held and they were ranked number one in the state at the time, after streamrolling over a number of good opponents. The green and gold started out with a bang as Don Mcllhenny blasted through the Litton line for 63 yards and a touchdown on the third play ofthe game. The try for the extra point failed. At the end of the game, the Lions were ahead to the tune of 20 to 6. Litton's flashy Speedster, George Volkert, couldn't be stopped. We played a good game but not good enough. Mutt Cowan played his best game of the season and was honored by the Nashville Banner as player of the week. Mutt intercepted three passes and made tackles all over the field from his line backing position. The next game on the schedule meant more to the boys on the team than any game of the season: it was with M.B.A. The Burros donned their gloves and uniforms and went out to smash M.B.A. 27 to 6. It was a great game played entirely in three inches of snow. Those few fans present saw Don Mcllhenny carry the ball forty-one times out of forty-three rushing plays and score 20 points. Warren Waite, jack Wakefield, Ted Fore, Mutt Cowan and Nicky Coutras played wonderful games and completely outplayed the big Maroons fromsthe Harding Road school. Parti- cularly outstanding was the blocking of Conrad Thomas, our fullback. He was instrumental in leading us to all but one of our tallies. Warren Waite recovered four fumbles to lead us in the defensive department. The last game of the season was our Homecoming game before the traditional huge crowd. The Burros were completely outplayed and were soundly beaten by Cohn, 21 to 0 L .L it f just NSF? A get eg- g

OUR CUACHIES MR. BILLY MAC JONES .MR. ED Hizssrv The Hillsboro football season of 1951 was the most successful in many years in the eyes of many of the Burro grid fans. Perhaps the main reason for its being so successful was the splendid' work of the coaches, Mr. Hessey and Mr. jones. The two mentors started out with a hard task before them and did it well. The task was that of building almost an entirely new team out of inexperienced material. Football practice started on the 13th of August and by the time of the first game, Bellevue, they had molded what many thought to be one of the outstanding teams in the midstate area. The hrst game of the season was with Bellevue and the Burros came out on the long end of the score, 12 to 7. Ends Warren Waite and Mutt Cowan led the green and gold defense and Harry Brunson and Don Mcllhenny did the scoring on jaunts of 75 and 82 yards respectively. x Practically the entire student body traveled to Franklin, Kentucky, for our second game and they saw the Hillsboro machine maul the Kentuckians by the score of 41 to 0. Next on the lis was North. Score: Hillsboro, 255 North, 0. Everyone played a great game for the home fans and the Burros had their third victory of the season. The line played a great defensive game by holding a highly touted North olfense to just 21 yards on the ground. Central's tornadoes came to the home gridiron and upset the 9th ranked team in the state to the tune of 14 to 13. The entire team as well as the fans were demoralized when Co-Captain Ted Fore broke his arm in a scramble for a fumble. Ted was in there lighting, playing perhaps his best game of the season when the accident occurred. The Burros were naturally down-hearted after their first defeat but took the field at T. I. S. and fought a scrapping eleven to a 6 to 6 dead- lock in a 94 degree temperature.
