Unpredictable Gridders Sidney High School's grid corps for the 1961 season seemed rather unpredictable. Picked to finish third, the Jackets disproved this theory slightly by coming up with the fifth spot. Here are some of the seasons highlights: Sept. 8, Sidney 13-Piqua Catholic 0. The Jack- ets started off the season on the right foot with a victory over Piqua Catholic. There were sparkling spots in this contest, but the Jackets were not particularly impressive. Sept. 15, Sidney 15-Dayton Kiser 16. In their second encounter the Jackets found the going even rougher than in their first. With two min- utes left in the contest, the Jackets scored a touchdown which put them ahead 15-8, but this wasn't enough as Kiser scored in the last 25 seconds for the victory. Sept. 22, Sidney 12-Bellefontaine 16. The fourth quarter blues hit Sidney for the second week in a row. In the last minute, the Jackets gave up a touchdown and dropped this en- counter. Sept. 29, Sidney 2-Xenia 6. The Jackets' grid combine journeyed to Xenia for their fourth con- test and again found themselves behind when the final gun sounded. The Jackets approached paydirt twice, but couldn't strike. Oct. 6, Sidney 8-Greenville 14. Once again the fourth quarter caught up with the Bees. Leading 8-6 going into the final session, the grid- 22 Joslin, D. Spangler, D. Lentz, K. Spaugey, P. Steen- rod, W. Billing, D. Faulkner, B. Cotner, J. Bunker, L. Allen, and E. Ely. Fourth row: G. Sheaks, manager, D. Ferree, manager, J. Blackford, J. Blackston, L. Swank, N. Borders, G. Friestuhler, D. Parke, L. Hayes, G. Pierce, manager, and W. Steiner, manager. Finish With Z-7-1 Mark ders suffered another letdown and dropped the game by one touchdown. Oct. 13, Sidney 0-Fairborn 0. Sidney's grid troops visited Fairborn, where they played their best game of the season. Neither team could get a drive started, the result was a 0-0 tie. Oct. 20, Sidney 8-Troy 22. There was nothing sneaky about the Trojans as they brought the game out into the open with a deadly passing assault. Troy grabbed a 22-0 lead before Sidney got onto the scoreboard. Oct. 26, Sidney 36-Miamisburg 8. The Bees re- gained their stingers, after five losses and one tie. A twenty-two point barrage in the second quarter proved to be enough margin for victory. Nov. 3, Sidney 0-Fairmont 44. The Bees readied their stingers once again as they left their hive for Fairmont. However, the Jackets found no honey in this area as they went down to a bitter defeat. Nov. 10, Sidney 0-Piqua 28. Piqua's Indians put on their war paint before galloping to Sidney and after the conference was over Piqua got their way as the Jackets dropped their last en- counter of the season. Trailing by only six points going into the last quarter, the Jackets gave twenty-two points to the Indians in the last twelve minutes. This closed an unhappy season for the Jackets as they turned in their uniforms with a 2-7-1 record. COPELAND REFRIGERATION CORPORATION
