Coach Chauncey KPennyJ Pentecost's first problem was to fill the shoes of three regular backs which graduated the spring before. With this done, the team started off the season with a victory over Clinton. Followed up the next week with another win, this time over Chelsea. When the season ended, however, the Hornets had only won two, tied one, while dropping five. Some time during the week of the various games a captain was elected. Thus nearly all the regulars had a week of piloting the Hornets. The reason for this was because there was only a couple of seniors on the squad. The honorary captain for the year, who was elected at the close of the season, was Fred Grunewald. The scores of the games were as follows: Hornets 19 Clinton 6 Hornets Dundee 19 Chelsea '7 Roosevelt O Flat Rock 27 Romulus O Milan 20 Belleville

The team worked under three coaches during the season. Coach Chauncey Pentecost had many handicaps to overcome. The biggest one was to form a team around only two lettermen from the year before. He set to his task and by the first game had groomed ten boys into scrappy ball players After making a good showing before the Alumni, it was still four games before their first victory. With but one game of the regular season and the tournament to play, Coach Pentecost went to work in the Ford Willow Run Bomber Plant Mr Poy McIntyre helped the fellows along for the last game and then a new coach was found. Under the direction of Coach Jack Greenstein, the team practiced diligent ly for the District Tournament. On March 5, the Hornets played Roosevelt in the Ypsi Central School Gym. They were defeated and thus eliminated. The season Scores were: 26 Hornets Alumni ' Pinckney ' Flat Rock ' Romulus 'J Che lsea St. Mary's Hornets fl Il ll Milan Roosevelt Dundee Dexter Belleville
