They captured the three team six man foottball crown by defeating Valders in the last game by the score of 30-24. To start the season, Coach Lester Vanderpan had many players but lacked sufficient experience. He cut these players down in short time and got a well built squad in to fine condition. His main starting six proved to be the best team in the league. They consisted of Huibregtse, endg Koene, endg Russell, center: Scheibl, quarterbackg Scroggins, fullback: and Captain Roger Ott, halhback. The leading scorer on the Purgoldi team was Peanuts Huibregtse, with a total of 74 points in six con- ference games. 'He received very much help from Ott and Scroggins who consistently ripped off yardage to put the ball in scoring position. The Purgold gridders lost their first game of the season to Kohler, but after they ran up a string of five in a row to end up on top with a record of five won and one lost. In the first game at Kohler, Falls lost 24-18 after holding thfem on even terms until the last few minutes. Roger Ott led the local attack by scoring all eighteen points.
