Nov. 5 the Husky eleven journeyed to Port- land to have a shot at the big city boys, and they came back with Columbia Prep's scalp. This however wasn't an easy iob. The Huskies scored a fourth down pass from Wilkening to Stevenson. Wilkening ran the extra point over. Sweet Home made only one other scoring at- tempt during the game. It come near the end of the first quarter, but the time ran out before Sweet Home could score. The rest of the game the Sweet Home players were kept plenty busy beating the Columbia Prep boys back off the goal line. The top spot of the game came when Columbia Prep made a first down on Sweet Home's 2 yd. line. This was the place where the Huskie's line showed its stuff by holding for four downs and even setting the Preppers back to the 12 yd. line. The final score was Sweet Home 7, Columbia Prep O. Sweet Home traveled to Junction City on Nov. 12 to put a beautiful 33-6 ending on to their football season. The first Sweet Home score came on a run made by Wilkening to climax a beautiful 41 yard touchdown march made by the Huskies. The second score was made by Noah a little later when he skirted left end. The score at the half stood at 12-O. Rice made the third Huskie tally on a line play from the 17 yard line. Norquist dropkicked the extra point. Wilkening intercepted a Tiger pass and carried it back to the Junction City 11. Don Rice took it over on the next play. Tex Stevenson kicked the extra point. Huey and Jim McKay took turns carrying the ball for Junction City. Finally Huey smashed over for Junction City's only score. McKay tried ot kick the extra point, but it was swamped by Sweet Home's line. Sweet Home's final tally was air mailed 25 yds. from Wilkening to Stevenson. Norquist dropkicked the extra point. This 33-6 win wrote a perfect ending to the Huskies' season. Even though the Huskies did not have a completely successful season, it can by no means be called unsuccessful. The total stands at 7 wins against 2 losses. This is the best football season Sweet Home has seen since 1940, but we are hoping they will have an even better season next year. Sweet Home's winning team gave Mr. Frost to total of two winning teams for two years, a very good average. Mr. Frost successfully changed the Huskies offense from a double wing to the T formation. This took a great deal of patient work with the backfield, and the line had to be completely re-schooled. They were taught to hit harder and faster, and it paid off in wins.

YB Squad Football Mr. Boroughs guided his B team to a very successful season this year. The Husky Pups won a total of six out of seven games. They are to be complimented highly for this achieve- ment. This is the second successful season for the Sweet Home B squad in two years. A good B team always gives Sweet Home something to look forward to next year. A successful B team usually means success for the A team next year. lt's nice to see that Sweet Home is building for the future, and we wish all our B teomers good luck and hope they will have an even better season next year. TEX STEVENSON At the annual Athletic Banquet Tex Steven- son, right end and captain of the football squad, received the Santiam Sporting Goods' Trophy for his outstanding play, his team co- ordination, sportsmanship and character. Captain Tex Stevenson and Dick Norquist, quarterback for the Huskie squad were selected by the coaches of the conference by almost an unanimous decision for posts on the Tri-County football team. On last year's Huskie squad Tex played tackle, so this was quite a feat to accomplish.
