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.
