FOOTBALL The biggest turn out of freshman and sophomores greeted Coaches Corona and McClain this season when football started. Only seven returning lettermen were available to prepare for the opening game against the Vikings from Williams. In the opener the Vikings won by a 26-6 score. The second game saw one of the best KcNary teams in years swamp the locals by a 37-7 nod. Seligman travelled to Cottonwood for the third encounter and after a poor showing in the first half played Cottonwood to an even score the second half and succumbed 33-12. The Winslow Bullpups were next on the schedule and the Antelopes won the first game of the season 25—0. In that game the freshman and sophomores played the visitors to a standstill for half of the game. Seligman made it two in a row in a hard fought game with the Flagstaff Eaglets and emerged victorious 13—7. Prescott proved to be too strong at mid-point of the season and came out on top by a 26-0 score. The second game with Cottonwood was a rough, hard hitting game that saw players ejected from both sides. Cottonwood won the encounter 35-0 but the score was not indicative of the game. The eighth game saw the locals end a famine when they triumphed over the Lobos from Snowflake by a convincing 31-13 rout. It was Seligman1s first triumph since the two schools have been playing each other. The final game saw seven seniors playing their last game at Needles California. The river edge boys won 19—0 when the Seligman team failed to function.
