The ORANGE and BLACK Soon after the opening of school, Coach Gallagher issued his call for football candidates. Fifteen boys responded and later five more strengthened this number. Knowing that a stiff schedule had been arranged, the boys worked in earnest and soon rounded into shape. By the day set for the Season's Hrst game, the team showed excellent form. The grid season opened with a defeat for the Orange and Black. The score was I3 to 6. Our opponents, however, the heavy Highland Park eleven, had their hands full in this game and were entirely outplayed in the first three quar- ters. Criss Schearer, our quarterback, was injured after liaving scored our only points. His loss was severely felt. St. Ambrose dropped the first league contest by a I3 to 7 score. The home team ccntinued the excellent show of football begun in the Highland Park game. A trip to Pontiac proved fruitless, as the locals were forced to give in to a 6 te o score. The lone touchdown came late in the fourth quarter with but two minutes to play. Again we met reverses, this time at the hands of the De La Salle eleven. A single touchdown and the extra point was the margin. Redford was the scene of our next conquest. the St. Mary team being the losers. Three touchdowns to their two gave us the game. St. Leo's, one of the league's strongest teams, handed us a 27 to o defeat. NWeakness in the last quarter caused the large score, three touchdowns being pushed over in this frame. Page Thirfy-riglvt
