Football l lm Last fall, under the leadership of our principal, Mr. Bolt, Muskegon Heights High school tried something new in the history of gridiron contests. Nearly 1000 students and local fans took a chartered train of 12 coaches and a baggage car to the Benton Harbor game. lt resulted in a round-trip affair never to be forgotten, equalling for many students the intense excitement of the greatest ball game ever seen between the two Tiger teams of the Southwest Conference. Leaving Muskegon Heights with all 980 fans on board, the train steamed downstate with one resolve: to support that team and gain the victory. When the long hard struggle was over, the score stood 6 to 6, but none of the Muskegon Heights fans could have asked our boys to do any more than they did. Benton Harbor had one of the greatest football teams ever seen in Class A competition in Michigan. It was big, Well- balanced, and fast. Don Hendricks, Muskegon Heights captain and hard hitting line-plunger, evidently didn't care how good Benton Harbor was. He led our boys over the goal line for a touchdown in the face of brilliant opposition. Neither team could clinch the extra point required to win, mainly owing to a strong wind blowing across the field. When all was said and done, and the last strains of martial music had died away, 980 persons on board the Special returned home, knowing full well that at times, a tie is as good as a victory.
