FOOTBALL V Lee 0'Connor, Joe Dawson, John Armstrong, Vernon Lambert, Bill Bowie Bradley Simons, Burdette Anderson, Lowell Hanson, Burdette Benson Alden Bollne, Dick Edberg, Gordon Brown, Don Bacon, Donald Lindstrom VHS 6--Wagner 0 After losing every game of the previous season, the Tanagers started this season by chalking up a victory over Wagner 6-0. The Tanagers started out the season by using the tricky 'T' formation which is new to the club. VHS I9--Centerville 0 The Tanagers came through with two vic- tories in as many starts by thoroughly trouncing the Centerville boys 19-0. Bowie received two passes for 12 points and D. Brown made the remaining 7. This game proved that the Tanagers were going to be a strong club. VHS 0--South Sioux 0 Fighting for four quarters through about six inches of mud came to no good for the Tana- gera. The game ended in a deadlock 0-0. Although the game was played in South Sioux's territory most of the time the Tanagers didn't have the final push to make a counter. VHS 6--Leeds 7 The Leeds Lancers ruined an unbeaten record by defeating the Tanagers on Inman Field by the score of 7-6. Both were very evenly matched as the score shows. Both teams scored in the first half, but the attempted conversion failed, giving the game to Leeds. VHS 7--Hawarden I9 The Comets of Hawarden ruined Homecoming day for the Tanagers by defeating them by the SCG!! of 19-7. The Com ts counted twice before the Tanagers realized what had happened. The Tanagers counted in the last quarter but that was too late to make up the difference in the score. A fumble in the final few minutes proved fatal for another 7 points for Hawarden. VHS O--Yankton 20 Playing under the lights at Yankton the Tanagers were unable to stop the strong Bucks from Yankton and were defeated 20-0. Going against a team that was said to be one of the strongest in the state, the Tanagers had small chance of upsetting them. VHS 0--LeMars I8 Playing in a blinding snowstorm, the Tanagers were unable to match the LeMars Bull- dogs' power. The snow, a muddy field, and a wet football were fatal to the tricky 'T' forma- tion. VHS 6--Elk Point 6 Elk Point scored in the first quarter, but it didn't take long for the Tanagers to tie it all up. The last half the Tanagers were on the offensive continually but were unable to push the ball across.
