Jim Sittel and Arnold Johnson both returning lettermen were injured in pre-season games. In our first League game of the season, against Hillsboro, Roger Hawley also was forced to retire for the season because of a knee injury, and before the season ended 5 lettermen were out of action. Tigard’s lone touchdown came in the Tillamook game when Bill Hicks scored from the 5 yard line after being advanced from the 45 on a double reverse from Kaufman to O’Halloran. In the final game of the season, Tigard battled Sherwood to a scoreless tic to end the season a much improved ballclub. With 17 returning letter-men returning next year, and a fine group of reserves, Mr. Adams feels we will have a very potent ball club. P. E. Perform Comedy stunts, calethentics, drills, tumbling, feats of strength, balance, agility and “living statues” by the sophomore and freshman gym classes provided unusual entertainment for the Mom and Dads’ Club. Tigers Victorious In Half of Games During Season A long and tough prescason schedule resulted in a 28-game roster, with 14 wins in all and four league victories. The season was interesting for all dopesicrs (who watched them constantly), and never gave up Tigard as a threat, as they had some of the best and biggest material in the league, and several games were close with the top league contenders. The Tigers upset the dope bucket by defeating the Forest Grove Vikings 37-29 in the district playoff and gave them the opportunity to face Hillsboro for the District Championship and a berth in the state tournament, but Hillsboro took advantage of a slow start on the part of the Tigers and rolled up 18 points in the first four minutes of the game while Tigard hit for only four. Throughout the remainder of the game, Tigard outplayed and outscorcd them but could not overcome the aforementioned lead. Tigard scored 1065 points in 28 games this season which means an average of 38 points a game. With .five returning lettermen and a number of tali and talented reserves coming back next year to take the place of graduating seniors, Coach Picttla looks to a much improved squad next year. MOHR ON THE BALL By Fred Mohr Football season was marked by a “Never quit trying and never beaten” feeling. A number of “characters” made the season more enjoyable. These were: Captain Ditty Smith and his cronies, G. Gedrose, H. Belnap, W. Flcskcs, R. Swope, C. Van Den Heede, L. Bissctt, C. Stephens, K. Bader, R. O’Brien, J. Anickcr, E. Shirley and A. Johnson. All composed a forward wall of mighty midgets” whose favorite occupation seemed to be “slinging” mud in everybody’s car. A group of “speed merchants” could be found including R. Hawley, R. Thomas, R. Kamp, R. Kaufman, L. O’Halloran, W. Hicks and a character named Fred Mohr (who thinks he can write a sports column) all of whom never quite found out what they were doing. Basketball season rolled in upon us with a strong foundation for a fine team with four returning lct-tcrmcn. An always hustling spirit almost took us to the state tournament. By the end of the season several old, and some new faces had appeared in the starting lineup. These were: Gordon Martin, Don Arnburn, Leo Wright, Ron Kamp, Walt Warren, Toby Lewis and Kenny Bader who all highly contributed to an exciting season. Page 27
