When the 1949 football season opened, Stevens Point was not considered a contender for the State Teachers Conference crown. After a spotty performance against Mission House, the Pointers proved their mettle by battling the highly regarded Semi-Pro Wausau Muskies to a 0-0 deadlock. They defeated their remaining opponents until they met Eau Claire. There on a wind swept field, a fickle wind which blew no point gave the Bruins a 14-13 win and the Pointers a tie with the La Crosse Indians and Stout Institute for the Conference Championship. The outstanding feature of the year's squad was their desire to win. Many times the boys came from behind to win. To a great team and greater group of boys we owe a salute and a tribute. 24
