Those who followed the team this year will remember such games as the Renton game, which ended in a tie, the Highline game which ended with Sumner on the Highline four-yard line, and the Clover Park game in which a substitute player for Clover Park came in and kicked a field goal. Sumner had a better than average backfield this year on both offense and defense. On offense the Spartans had a good breakaway runner in little Carl McClane , a hard running back in Harvey Bailey, and a daring quarterback in Les Standley. On defense there were George Kovalenko, who played linebacker, and Monte Smith as halfback. A summary of the '54 football season is as follows 1. Sumner C 75 Wenatchee C135 2.

As the football season progressed, the junior high team showed much improvement even though the games they lost were toward the s'c's-'fiule's end. The opening game ended in a Thirty-iwo tie with Bethel. Next came a win over Federal Way. With the easier portion of the season be- hind them, the Bobcats met the larger, stronger teams. In meetings with both Clover Park and Franklin Pierce, Sumner lost by quite large mar- gins. As usual, the seasonys high point came when Sumner played their rival, Puyallup, in a night game there. In front of a large crowd a hard fought game was played, but when the gun sounded the score-board read Puyallup 6 and Junior High Basketball-llzu-lc row, loft io right: i'il'ZLlliC Lilies, David SilUl'lIHLiU'7', .loim lflilvrs. ifronl row: M :L 1' s I o n Viitetoo, Mir-lu-y Micklvsoli, .lar-k P1-lerson.
