SEASON IN REVIEW Grand Rapids Creston-The Tigers got off to an unimpressive start as they turned down the Bears, 9-0. A safety and the familiar pass, Petrongelli to Howell, spelled defeat for the visitors on a soggy field. Grand Rapids Catholic-The next victims to fall under the dynamic Tigers were the Cougars who went on to win the Grand Rapids City Champion- ship. Final score, 21-13. Holland - The Tigers ran roughshod over the Woodenshoes, defeatinq them 37-6 on the Dutch home ground. Hulka had a field day in scoring 3 touchdowns. Grand Rapids Union-The Redhawks bowed to a sparkling aerial attack exhibited by the Tigers Petrongelli flipped three touchdown passes Grandelius snatched two of these as he played a bang-up game at quarter. Final score: 25-0. Kalamazoo-The Maroon Giants were considered a powerhouse in the S. W. Conference until the Bengals toppled them to the tune of 27-7 on Phillip's field. The game was fairly even until the Tigers let loose in the last half. Grand Haven-The Tigers traveled to the Bucca- neer home ground and scored four touchdowns in the first quarter. The first eleven watched the re- mainder as the reserves went on to win 37-12. Benton Harbor-A new attendance record was set at Phil1ip's field when the downstate Tigers came here. Over 5500 fans Watched the Tigers stop Forestieri cold and win the battle, 13-0. Battle Creek-As a breather before the Muskegon game the Bengals went to Battle Creek and won an easy victory: 13-0. Muskegon-What happened and how it happened on November l7, 1945 hardly needs recollection here. The game will live in the minds and hearts of all those who witnessed or played in this glor- ious Tiger victory.-How much for the Bengals to win-How very much for the Big Reds to lose. -97-

LIFE HAS ITS TENSE MOMENTS 9Hl lwNW Dr. R. I. Douglas, Coaches Ziegler, Iohnson, McKenzie d S This coaching staff of Muskegon Heights High School is without question one of the foremost in the State. The athletic prowess shown consistently by boys of this school is respected by all high school teams of Michigan in most sports. We have competed in Class A competition for many years but have rarely had the enrollment necessary to be Class A ourselves. We believe that this is proof enough of the skill and downright hard working qualities of our coaching staff. The records show that Mr. O. E. Johnson and Mr. C. P. Zeigler are undoubtedly a first rate pair in football coaching. It has been a long time since anyone has ex- pected to whip one of their football ma- chines with ease. On the second team about 35 boys each year are taught the rudiments of the game by Mr. D. R. McKenzie who this year was assisted by Mr. L. A. Schaude. These boys come up to the varsity al- ready well grounded in fundamentals. Okie and Zig put on the polish and we have another powerful threat in Michigan athletic circles. -99- chzude. I 'gli' 2' C.
