While winning the first and last games of the season, the Riders were only to salvage one tie in between, although playing extremely well. Starting out the season by trouncing arch-rival U High 38-12, the Riders produced three touchdowns with John Hall's running, while Fred Houck threw three others via the air to Gary Guider, John VanBlack, and Hall again. After dropping a hard-fought encounter to Clinton, the league champion, the Riders managed a tie before their own Home- coming crowd. After losing the next three games, the team rebounded by climaxing their season with a 13-0 victory over Whitmore Lake as Hall and Guider scored on long passes. The Rough Riders have a bright looking future ahead with fourteen of the twenty-five lettermen returning, in- cluding Captain-elect Dave Walline, who succeeds his brother, Eric. Bud Dornbos.
