The title was not decided until the last game of the season when Coach Herman A. Kriuzenga's red-hot quintet defeated the Muskegon seconds, 40-25. In their first conference game of the year the Baby Bengals edged out a 40-39 victory over a tall Holland team. This was the start of a four game winning streak which brought three more wins to the second's total. The Tiger Cubs lost to Muskegon 36-28 and to Holland 32-28 for their only conference losses of the season. These two losses seemed to stimulate our seconds who soared to new heights, winning their last four games, and taking the con- ference crown. -102-
