THE KIDGETS Kidgets 14 Berkshire 13 Kidgets 13 Canterbury 12 Kidgets 26 Salisbury 0 Kidgets 6 Wooster 14 Kidgets 2 5 Gunnery 6 To finish a good season the Kidgets returned to South Kent the Gunnery demi-tasse cup, which is shown precari- ously perched on the football in the above picture. The Kidgets started off the season with a ragged offense which they quickly mended. The defense, sup- ported by the tackling of Steve Hoitt, Chad Lockwood, Trent Smith, and Pete Moon, made things exceptionally diflicult for their worthy opponents. The most spectacular play of their 54 season was Steve Merrill's eighty-yard off-tackle touchdown run in the Canter- bury game. Steve also scored four touch- downs in the Salisbury game, two in the Berkshire game, and one each against Canterbury and Gunnery. Other promi- nent figures in the scoring column were Jim Allen and Spencer Reynolds. Legare Cuyler and Pete Finch gave helping hands in the backfleld while Nick Leem- ing served coaches Waller and Smith as a general handyman.

The combination ap- parently confused them as they did much better in the Gunnery game when they used primarily the single wing formation. Although they lost all their games, the Kids did play good football at times. John Farr gained the largest percentage of rushing yardage and made the greatest number of tackles. Reeve Cantus did a splendid job quarterbacking. The rest of The Kid Game Captains: Brian Woodward, jack Triplett, Pete Lee, Reeve Cantus, and John Farr. the backfield was made up of Brian Woodward, Nate Tracy, and Peter Lee. Ted Madara and Titus Moody were guards on each side of Center Jack Triplett. jack Coleman played one tackle while jack Agate, Dave Seaberg, and Roger De- Vore spelled each other at right tackle.
