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.

The twenty-two man squad had fire and determination. The Bees opened brilliantly, winning 22-0 over the Union Var- sity. The B squad had three tiffs with the Vancouver junior varsity and won two of them by 7-0 and 9-6 scores and played a scoreless tie in the third contest. Instrumental in the first victory were long runs by Jerry Miller, Carl Williams, and J ack Dauchy, though Herman Kilwein crashed over for the lone touchdown. A 65-yard run by Jerry Miller in the sec- ond meeting of the two schools tied the game at six-all and the Bees went into the lead a play later when Kilwein crashed over for the ex- tra point. The score became 9-6 in the third quarter on a safety and the O.M. B squad rose to the occasion again in the final quarter, making a goal line stand on their own two-yard stripe. The Bees took two on the chin when Parkrose junior varsity won 25-0 and Veerbort varsity scored a 20-0 victory. In a rematch the O.M. B squad put up a stubborn battle and won 13-6 over the Park- rose Broncos at Kiggins Bowl. The B squad ended the season gloriously with a 19-0 win over the Canby varsity. Coach Nash's policy of giving everyone a chance to play will pay off in dividends as future O.M. pigskin squads will have much-needed experience. 54
