BRAINS BEHIND THE BRAWN Coaches Peters and Nielsen In an attempt to staywithin striking distance of Waunakee, Spring Green travel- ed to Verona for their sixth game. Spring Green struck for a 7 to 0 lead in the third quarter with Mike McGinley scoring, and added a fourth quarter score from Dick Haas. Verona was the victim of Spring Green's third shut out of the year, 14-0. The climatic game of the year was played against the Lodi Blue Devils. The first play from scrimmage saw Lodi ramble 63 yards for a touchdown. The Blue Devils added another touchdown in the second quarter, but the extra point failed. The Shamrocks began the second half with a never-say-die attitude. Mike McGin- ley scored Spring Green's first score from the one yard line and the point brought the score to 13-7. Again in the fourth period Dick Haas scored and the all import- ant extra point brought joy to the team and many followers as we won, 14-13. The final game for Spring Green High was played at home against Poynette on a rain soaked field. The fighting Shamrocks couldn't get fired up, and Tim Paulsen gave Spring Green its only hope by picking up a Poynette fumble and going 47 yards for a touchdown. Thus ended the season with the locals being defeated, 7-6. The Spring Green football team finished a respectable third in the 1961 Tri-County football race with a 4 won and 3 loss record.
