This year the Valley Tigers had an unexpectedly suc- cessful football season. With only five lettermen returning from last year's squad, they accumulated a 6-3 record and were co-champions of the South Central Conference. The Tigers began the season by losing to Roosevelt 27-7, but they came back the next week with an invincible spirit and crushed the Pella Tulips 28-O. Highlighting a festive home- coming, the Tigers routed Osceola 29-6 and then rallied over Knoxville. The following win over Indianola by a score of 14-6 put the Tigers temporarily into first place until they lost a heart-breaker to Winterset. They came back with a win over Albia 42-12 and over Chariton 28-6. They ended the season by losing 20-0 to Dowling, one of the top-rated teams in the state. Valley had four players on the All-Conference Team. They were Steve Shelley, Gary Sapp, Phil Sorensen and Alan McBride. Alan was also Metropolitan scoring leader with 84 points, and a member of the fourth All-State team. The foot- ball banquet was held at Stilwell gym in November. The main feature was a film of the senior players and the high- lights of the football season which was narrated by Coach Elgin.
