xe Q C' U I I i iw I -. L X A' to if lm, QU Liss xy The Morgan City Tiger Mittmen of 1942 did not win the State championship or even the district title, but they did win the respect of everyone who followed them. These boxers were not even what is known as a team, but they were a group of American boys possessing American fight, American spunk, and American sportsmenship. When Coach Giordano began training his squad this year, he did not have anything but a group of game, green boys to work with. When the season was ever, however, it was found that the squad had a .5OO average. A few of the boys look very promising. In this group are John Roe, who never dropped a fight during the season, Nolen nhickeyn Sutton, who dropped only oneg also Charles HChinkn Kullman, a boy who can always be counted eng and R. Verett, Alvin Boudreaux, Evans Hebert, and Owen Stansbury all having two more years of fighting. Coach Giordano uncovered a very promising and colorful scrapper in Carl Ellerbee. With these boys to work with and the new gym to train in, the Tigers may once again see a boxing team hold the athletic spotlight of the high school. All the Tigers' bouts were fought on the road. Their first trip took them to White Castle. That night the boys tried hard, but their lack of experience caused them a 7-2 set-back. The Tigers' received one win, two draws and six losses, but what pleased the fans was that not a one of them stopped fighting. The following week the Tiger mittmen invaded Franklin to meet the Hansen Tigers. This week, however, the story was different and the Tigers brought home their first ' vic- tory of the season. The Tigers chalked up five wins, one draw, and four losses to win by a 55-45 score. It was this fight that proved them worthy to carry the Tiger colors. After a full week of hard training, the Tigers again, invaded Franklin, this time to meet their old rivals the Franklin Hornets. Through ten' fights both teams battled hard and when the smoke cleared, the scores were t i e d: ' C't 5 The Tigers had gained four wins, Franklin 5, Lorgan 1 y .
