The Hor- nets while having a heavy team, were compelled to play schools with much larger enrollment. Coach CPennyJ Pentecost, himself a football athlete of real ability formerly with Adrian College, used all the football strategy that was possible to drill into the boys at a given time. Penny bears a reputation for fair play, and his beaming personality permeated into the personality of the players. Saline Hornets decisively defeated such strong teams as Du dee, Belle- ville, Romulus, and the Ann Arbor Reserves, they tied with Milan and Chelsea, and lost only two games, Roosevelt and Flat Rock. Captain Bernard Bamer proved to be worthy of the title bestowed upon him. He always came through in the pinches, was always a good sport, and proved to be a steadying factor to the other boys when the going got the toughest. The scores of the season's games are as follows: Hornets 7 Dundee O Hornets 25 Romulus 7 W 19 Clinton 6 ' 6 Flat Rock 20 ' 6 Roosevelt 20 W 7 Chelsea 7 W 19 Belleville 13 ' 32 A.A. Res. 12
