PETELLIN Reserve End The TaHoMa Team of “48” came dashing out onto the field full of vim and vigor, ready to defend the honor of their beloved school, but it seems that fate was against them for they lost to the more favored Mount Si Team to a score of 47 to 6. The Golden Bears made a mighty effort to beat the Mount Si Team with Bud Gesell throwing a pass to Jim Sweeney who went over for the only touchdown. Our team was aided by only four lettermen of the previous year. These were: Bud Gesell, Captain and quartrback; Ralph Neimeyer. left-guard; Mickey Ek, left-end and Jim Sweeney, fullback. Thus, a much better outcome was expected than that which we actually had. TaHoMa went to Bothell to play the Cougars under the lights. The Golden Bears were defeated by 31 to 6 by the Cougars. TaHoMa made its touchdown in the second guarter of the game. Bud Gesell hurriedly threw a pass to Bob Hale, who, in turn, ran it over for a touchdown. Bob Hale attempted to kick the extra point, but failed. The TaHoMa Golden Bears traveled to Issaquah to play their third conference game under he lights. After a rough and rugged fight the Issaquah Indians downed the Golden Bears 50 to 0. There were several minor injuries, but nothing too serious. TaHoMa played Vashon here on our home field. The boys played a close game, but lost to Vashon, 12 to 7. Vashon scored twice in the first half. After a pep talk from their coach, Mr. Ken Ingman, the Golden Bears rolled out on the field to intercept a Vashon pass. Bob Hale, pass intercepter. ran the ball over for their extra point. TaHoMa then rolled within three yards of a touchdown, but a stroke of bad luck caused one of our boys to fumble the ball and there went the chances to win against this Vashon team. The Golden Bears played their best game of the season against Vashon. TaHoMa traveled to Tolt to play and lose their last conference game of the season. The Golden Bears fell down at their game, they just didn’t seem to click as a team and lost 18 to 7. You have had a lot of tough luck, Golden Bears, but you always played with the sportsmanship of a real team. Better luck and many victories in your seasons to come. ft NEIMEYER Guard CROSSON End DUGAN Tackle TaHoMa, ’49
