The Tigers got their season underway with a flash of power by rolling up an impressive 46f6 victory over Glassport. On the next Friday night, the Tigers with that never say die spirit exhibited a great example of determination in their tilt with Central Catholic, overcoming a 2Ofpoint halftime deficit by scoring 20 points in the final half to settle for a tie. The Tigers dropped their next game with Aliquippa when the Quips scored 14 points in the second half to dump McKeesport from the running for the Class AA title by a l4f7 score. The Tigers bounced back, however, to nose out Clairton 610 on a thirdfquarter touchdown pass from Bob Sedlar to Ducky Gilmore. McKeesport AL JAso continued its winning way with convincing vicf tories over New Castle, Johnstown, and Erie Tech along with a tight 7f6 win over our acrossfriver rivals-Duquesne. The Tigers again tasted defeat at the hands of Jeannette in a muddy fray at the stadium. McKeesport rounded out its regular season with a 3942 victory over Turtle Creek, but lost a post' season game, 2616, to the strong and undefeated Central Catholic Vikings.
