Football NOAH, Quarterback STEVENSON, Left Tackle LIVINGSTON, Left End WOLLEAT, Left Guard Football practice began Sept. 2nd with 40 boys on hand. However, only four were lettermen. They were Bob Furrer, Keith Gabriel, Ronnie Barnes, and Leroy Live ingston. Coach Boroughs immediately be- gan to train men to fill the other positions. Sept. 19th, Sweet Home's first game was with Redmond. Our only score was made by Barnes going over right tackle to pay dirt. Livingston passed to Vllilkening for the extra point. Redmond won 27 to '52 7, with the Huskies picking up much needed experience against heavier and more experienced players. The Huskies traveled to Cottage Grove on Sept. 26th to play the speedy Lion HTH. Speed and deception of the Lion formation proved too much for the out-classed Husf kies. The Huskies were held to a 13 to 0 score. Barnes sparked the Sweet Home Team with an average of l2 yards to a run. Traveling to Prineville Oct. 3 the Hus- kies tackled the tricky Cowboy formation. Leading 7 to O in the first half the Cowboys kicked to the Huskies at the beginning of the second half. Returning the ball to the 40 yard line the Huskies passed with Gabriel sending the leather 52 vards to Vililkening, who went over standing up for our first score of the game. ln the clos- ing minutes of the game Livingston re- placing Cabriel passed to Needles who went over for our second score, The game ended with the Huskies on the short end of a l-l to l2 score. Vllith lots of rain and mud a large crowd turned out to see the Huskies win a game. Witli good blocking and excellent running of the backs the Huskies won l2 to 2 with Wilkening packing the leather over for both scores. VVe journeyed to Lebanon on October l7 to meet our rivals the Warriors, Mud and rain which didn't bother the Warriors hampered the Huskies considerably. Com- ing out on the very short end of 26 to 0 score. This was the most disheartening game of the season. On October 24 Toledo traveled to Sweet Home to battle on the local held. Playing at their best the Huskies fought a good defensive game with Toledo. To- ledo score was a result of a bad pass from OUT Centifl' trapping BHYHCS in the Cnfl zone. fCU111i11148d on Next Pagel
