This factor alone has varsity Coach Hank Bodner looking to the jayvees for 31 ..... losses for the 49 '50 season, but a further look into the 49 record book proves dehnitely that the little Bombers were 49 much better than their record indicated. Of their 10 losses, 34 the jayvees lost 6 of them by 5 points or less with a 66f65 56 defeat by Panzer victory the closest. 55 The jayvees got off to a slow start by losing 7 of their 65 55 The abilities of the jayvee mainstays was proven in 63 the latter part of the season when Tex Ferguson, topfscorer 50 Joe Crisoii 1178 pointsj, Richard Scribner and Lew Azaroff 49 , , , moved up to the Varsity for three big games and each gave 36, . . . a good account of himself. , 50 . . .
