The Football Iamboree-The Mifflin Cowpunchers opened their football season by play- ing Grove City in the annual Football Jamboree at Mifflin on September 7. The Cowpunchers lost to Grove City by the score of 14-0. Dublin defeated Lincoln, and Reynoldsburg downed New Albany.

The team stopped at the Casino Restaurant in Zanesville for a steak dinner given by tffe Booster Club. Arriving at Cambridge, the Cowpunchers were handed their first in a series of nine de- feats by the score of 84-O. West Iagerson-The West gefferson game was played at Mifflin. The West jefferson team handed Mi in their second de eat by a score of 26-0. Reynoldsburg--Reynoldsburg was the second game away from home. Reynoldsburg was the only team Mifflin scored against this year.

Hamilton-Hamilton was the quest of Mifflin in the clash between the two teams. The Hamilton team, due to the running of Ted Tope, trounced the Cowpunchers by one of the highest scores of the season 75-0. New Albany-The New Albany team, having lost every game for 3 years straight to Mifflin, defeated the Cowpunchers after a long, hard and exciting struggle. The game with New Al- bany was Miffiin's homecoming and was a colorful occasion. The Cowpunchers were very unhappy when New Albany handed them their seventh consecutive defeat with the score end- ing 14-0. Richwood-Richwood was the last home game played by the Cowpunchers. The weather was cold and it was snowing when the game started. In spite of the west and slippery ground the Cowpunchers held Richwood down to 13 points and again the Cowpunchers failed to score.
