One of the thrills of the football season occurs each time two opposing players get up in the air and fight for possession of the pigskin on a pass. JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL Mount Clemens High's Junior Varsity football team finished the season with a record that reflected their hard work and constant determination. Many outstanding plays, including long runs and excellent passing, filled the JayVee games. Coach David McEvers' able coaching helped produce a team that took each game in stride and proved to be a rugged contender against all op- ponents. They impressively toppled L'Anse Creuse to start the season off. Team cooperation and high spirits defeated this new rival. Next they beat Royal Oak Kimball and Birming- ham, both close and hard fought games. Port Huron and Ferndale were the only two schools that could push the Bather JayVees from the winning column. However, the Red and Grey came back to romp over Hazel Park and end the season by tying the East Detroit eleven. SCORES Mount Clemens 41 L'Anse Creuse 6 Mount Clemens R. O.

Gridders Provide Thrills ln So-So Season VARSITY FOOTBALL A whistle shrilled through the autumn air and the Bathers raced toward their first opponent of an eight game schedule. A team huddle and the signals called for an exciting season of football - with the end re- sult- winning 3, losing 5. The first game was played at Memorial stadium against the Grosse Pointe eleven. The Blue Devils' superior, veteran manpower out-scored a valiant Bather team 34 - 0. A Bother team that could do no wrong man- handled VanDyke Lincoln in one of the high spots of the season. The final score was the Bathers 32, Van- Dyke 6. The Bathers fell 33-6 in a game much closer and harder fought than the score would indicate. Long Maple runs were the determining factors in the Birm- ingham win. Port Huron retained possession of the Little Brown Jug as they outplayed the Mount Clemens grid- ders 22 - 0. ln a game that could have gone either way, the Railsplitters of Ferndale gained a T3 - O win over the Bathers. Excellent offensive and defensive playing failed to reap a win for the red and grey. On the toe of Bill Jacobs who split the uprights for Mount Clemens' seventh point the Bathers downed a very determined Hazel Park team 7 - 6. An alert, fast defense and a solid line headed by John Kur- steiner played in a constant downpour on a mud- laden field to put this one in the Bather win column. East Detroit and Mount Clemens fought each other in another tight game. The Shamrocks won l2-6. Under the leadership of quarterback David Mial and the hard running of Kenny Kunkel the Bathers had things their own way in toppling Berkley 35-7 in the last game of the season.
