Both non conference games were lost. The season s final game was with Sturgeon Bay. Those who missed that game missed the game of the year. lf the Falls had come out of this game with a victory there would have been a three way tie for first place The game ended in a tie and gave Sturgeon Bay the undis puted championship. Depere took second and the Falls had to settle for third Twenty four seniors completed their football careers for the Falls and seventeen of these were letter winners. Theyare: J. Bain W.

The most hard fought game of the season was against Pulaski one hot afternoon. After much hard running and playing the score board showed a O-0 tie. The Coleman Cougars and Oconto Falls B gridders met together on a damp rainy night. Running was hard and passing impossible The Coleman Cougars made three TD s on the first half.

F. A. teams to represent Oconto Falls High School. This year for the first time the F. F. A. sponsored both an A and B team. Both teams did very well. The A team was led by Otis Fonders and Bernard Rickel while the sparkplugs for the B team were Allen Buseman and Roger Behringer. Mr. Skroch was the coach for these two teams and congratulations are ex- tended to him for turning out some fine basketball players. 64 N jyueclin' an a ggAfin, v el'll0f'J M Slgl M Jacobson J Arkens B Benser B Ahlborg lll'll0I':i 0,0 OITL ored M Vulenfme Hale J Hnddl A Bohl N Lucas M Flafley N Broun B Prousa J Van Boven I-eC0mfC B BIYTOFS fed fflell C Byng S Blozek, D Marks G Temple S Leornrd J Tlsch 65 ein ein el' gr W -9 'QQE HQ., qs i 'it 4' E QPLUQP5 B Anderson A Depner B Mafravers H wlffl R Herfwlg dl'lLi0I'5 J Francis J Johnson E Boetcher J 66 : -1.
