The boys were eager and willing but the breaks were against them, they finished their season with two ties and three losses. Lack of experience and size were two deciding factors in this year's record. The junior high boys. anxious at their first game, went to Bridgeville. The only touch- down of the game was scored in the first quarter on a reverse that went around right end. The final score was Bridgeville 7, Union 0. Hoping to do better in their second game, they played host to South Lafayette. The opposition scored the first touchdown but Burgettstown came right back with Fred Wright plunging straight ahead for the score. The game ended in a 6-6 tie. The junior var- sity next faced a powerful Washington team and lost by their worst score, 40-0. In this game Ben Diamond cracked a rib, but the injury was not serious. Another bad defeat was tallied when they traveled to West Al- legheny. jim Barkley scored the only touch- down for Union and the game ended with West Allegheny on top 31-6. Discouraged by previous games but eager to do better, the little Blue Devils played host to Trinity and got their second tie for the season when Ben Diamond scored the lone touchdown for Bur- gettstown to make the final score 6-6. This was perhaps the hardest fought game the junior team played.
