ATHLETICS The Husky football squad started off by chalk- ing up three successive victories, but were held to a tie by Chadsey, and then dropped their last three contests. Conversion of a point after touchdown was the margin of victory in the first game, in which Red- ford beat Northeastern I3 to IZ. The Huskies followed with shutouts over Southwestern, I2 to 0, and Western, II to 0, before being tied by Chadsey, 6 to 6. g ln the last three games the Huskies couldn't score and lost to Cooley, I7 to 05 Central, 7 to 09 and Mackenzie I3 to 0. Coach Hojnacki had a fine starting team this fall, but lack of reserves kept the Huskies from having a winning eleven: Cooley, Metropolitan champs, and Mackenzie, which finished in a tie with Cooley for the West League title, were both outplayed for three quarters by Redford, but superior manpower of the opposition spelled defeat instead' of victory for the Red and Gray. The eleven iron men that started the games The Husky line smeared Suzy Weinstein, Central's ace back, on this play, but the Huskies lost 7 to 0. stayed in almost the full forty-eight minutes and an average of only fifteen boys played in each game. The Husky golfers, defending Fall Medal champions, dropped their title to Cooley as they tied Mackenzie for third place. Redford's quartet of Curtis and Frank Cmreen, Ezra lVlcElmurry, and Bill Cox shot 358 in the tournament at North Hills on September 28. Despite the loss this fall, Coach Hermanson is optimistic about the chances of his team in the tournament next spring, even though Captains Curtis Green and' Bill Cox will have graduated. Only two letterwinners, Ed Brugman and Bob Carpenter, returned from last year's cross coun- try team, so Coach Hermanson wasn't too surprised when his squad was eliminated in the West League Met. Redford's only representative in the City Meet was Brugman, who finished tenth. The Husky No. 2 man was Gordon Stanley, a sophomore who shows promise of developing into a Hue runner.
