O VERNON-0 W. T. H. S.-6 Victory came our way via the successful passing attack of Gene . . . and well bal- anced line play . . . against a big, hard charging team from Verona. The score doesn't ex- plain the game . . . scoring position was held often by the Twp., but to little advantage other than keeping Verona scoreless . . . Hooper carried the Touchdown over. FREEPORT-O W. T. H. S.-19 Arm-chair coaches all over the valley picked Freeport to trample the Raiders . . . but the battle was Washington all the way . . . every man on the bench got a taste of action . . . Whiren, Magee and McGuire each had a touchdown and Mag made one extra point . . . Raider defense was outstanding . . . allowing Freeport to cross the 35 yard stripe only twice in the entire game. The crowd was large . . .and happily surprised. EAST HUNTINGTON-O W. T. H. S.-18 Fielding a nice big line . . . plus one good runner . . . E. Huntington supplied the op- position . . . sufficient to scare . . . but not score against the Crimson tide . . . Whiren broke the field for two scores and Cliff Lightner took an interception 70 yards for a TD ...third win ll Henry Sarver . . .Tackle Richard Schimizzi . . .Guard Always willing to do his best. Lots of chatter...spirit. ,W at . 03,357-7 i tiQt,151-Q
