The Hornets had a mediocre slate, winning two, losing three, and tying one game. However, in the scoring department Meadowsmen only fell one point shy of thc opponent total of 52. Clarence Harris led Hornet point makers with twelve points, Jim McDowell followed with 7, Dick Halverson, 63 Keith Haines, 63 Jack Edgar, 65 l3er5ile Sharp, 63 Dave English, 69 and Art Keg- er, . The Ogden Meadows eleven scored 32 points through the airlanes. This was possible through the brilliant efforts of the strong green and white forward Wall which offered the backfield men perfect passing protection. Clarence Harris, Mr, Fleetfoot of O.M., senior left half, was elected honorary football captain by his teammates and Elmer Mike Dineen, a solidly built running guard, was voted inspirational award winner. In the first regular football game of the '47 season at Kiggin's Bowl the Hornets opened com- mendably, playing a scoreless tie with the power- plus Papermaker eleven of Camas. The State School Terriers toppled the Hornets 13-6 in the next tilt, but the green and white clad eleven came back to stop the touted Rainier Columbians 19-14. Three long passes from the hurling arm of Dick Halverson netted the three tallies in this contest. The Hornets were amply gunned for the occa- sion, playing the best game of their campaign in this 20-0 toppling of the White Salmon Columbians. Ogden Meadows got under fire early in the first quarter scoring two quick touchdowns and con- versions. Harris intercepted a pass and raced from his own 40 to the White Salmon 20 to fashion the third Hornet score.
