The Tigers started the season with only three boys returning from the first string lineup of the previous year. In all. there were only five returning lettermen. The teams offense did not reach its peck until the last game. Had it come sooner, no doubt. StewartviUe’s football season would have been very good. Nevertheless, the defense was remarkable, considering the inexperience of the boys against some tough competition and no game turned into a route for the opposition. The prospects for next years team appear to be very promising with junior and sophomore lettermen returning. Roger Simpson and Ronald Gathje co-captained the squad this year. Next year that job will be taken over by Donald Enge: and Gordon Betcher.
