The following Friday night, the Panthers got the feel of things on their home field and beat, bruised, and battered their way to a 27 to 0 victory over Fremont. Pilger moved to tailback in the absence of both Fender and Eggen and behind crush- ingly emphatic blocking raced for 81 yards, being hauled down on the 9. In the second half Fremont sub- stituted frequently because of the beating the out-weighed Tiger line- men were taking. Hopkins more than once persuaded the Tigers to take to the air by beating down the Fremont ball toters. Bernhardt scored 2 touchdowns, Haase 1 on an end- around play: and, Pilger 1.
