Stunned by the thought that they were behind, the Teds swung into action. With Hud- son, Monroe, and McNamee carrying the mail, they pushed over their first six-pointer of the evening from 31 yards out. In the second quarter the Cowen Parkers bunched their final scoring splurge, with Monroe skirting end for 23 yards, and McNamee denting the defensive line from 2 yards out for another T. D. Bill, The Toe” Hudson booted the try-for-point to end the night’s scoring, 19-6.

Defensive and offensive ball- clubs were also chosen by the press. Monroe and Benjamin re- ceived enough votes to earn spots on both units. Gaining honorable mention were such stalwarts as Gary Woodcock, tackle; Andy Espinoza, center; Don Lumley, end; plus Mel Mosteller and Gene Hull in the backfield. Spectators had just settled down for the first regular game of the season when on the initial play from scrimmage, Chuck Lewis of Garfield gathered in a stray Teddy pass and romped 32 yards for the first touchdown of the game.

Great teams sometimes stumble, and this year the boys from Lincoln, who had been 1949 Football Kings, fell by the roadside. Roosevelt-Lincoln contests have always had plenty of spirit, and this year was no exception. The Teds, besides having the hustle, had the material, and dominated the play from the opening whistle. With Monroe spear-heading the attack, the locals piled up 367 yards via ground and air maneuvers. Mike’s accounting for two T.D.’s, McNamee’s six-pointer, and end Larry Bean’s gallop over 50 yards of gray sand ran the evening's score to 26 points, while the Railsplitters were being held to a safety and a couple of touchdowns. A Friday afternoon marked the fall of the West Seattle Indians. It was as simple as that. Capitalizing on four fumbles, three intercepted passes, and a field goal of their own, the Teddies racked up their third win in as many starts. Rollicking Mel Mosteller started things moving when he intercepted a W. S. pass and raced 27 yards to score. After a 61 -yard quick- kick had rocked the Indians back on their own 17, Monroe picked off another stray pass and hit pay dirt for an additional 6 points. Hudson’s field goal from 6 yards out ended first half scoring 16-0. After McNamee had inked the record book with a T. D., and Hudson had con- verted with a try-for-point, the day’s scoring read 23-0. The Queen Anne Grizzlies, hit hard by graduation and out-weighed by the Green and Gold forces from Roosevelt, simply were outclassed. Every available Ted player who had a suit on, saw at least a few minutes of varsity action, and when the clock ran out, the scoreboard read 26-6. The Colonels’ fearsome-foursome combo of McNamee, Hudson, Monroe, and Hull wasted little time in starting to roll. Hull bucked over from the one, ’’Mac registered another from 4 yards out, and Hudson cracked left guard for the third counter of the game. A fourth period T.D. came by way of air express. Monroe completed a 24-yard aerial to Gene Hull, who 26
