With only tour lettermen returning, Coach Terry taced the problem ot molding a team to match a powertul I'Iantord team in their tirst practice game. On September 29, a nervous under-dog, the Selma Cubs trotted out on the tield and made a tinal quarter goalward drive to tie the highly touted I-Ian- tord team, I3-I3. In their tirst league game the Cubs ran wild and trounced Reedley I9-6. Atter three players had been carried trom the tield, one unconscious and the others injured so as to prohibit their turther playing, the bat- tered Cub team dropped their only ball game ot the year, I2-6 to a great Central team. In their next two games the Cubs came baclc to lite and soundl trounced Washin ton Union and Kin S- Y Q Q burg I9-O and I2-O.
