Wag W wild way; a WW9 ragacA The Blackshirts show that they're rarin' to go. Downed in its first conference game against West Aliis Central, the Cards nevertheless displayed that old do or die spirit and fought until the final gun sounded. The Bulldogs rolled over Woukesho's ground and ass defense winnin , e '-' ockshirts were handed their second straight con- ferece defeat by Shorewood who not only come out ahead 29 poi ts but held the Cards scoreless as well. Though Price's fine punting tried to keep Shorewood in their own territory, the strong and powerful line play of the Greyhounds was too much for the Waukesho gridders whose spirit was high but their luck low. Unable to break this losing iinx, Woukesho came out on the little end of o 8-2 score against Wouwotosc's Red Raiders. The Blackshirts' only score come from an automatic safety mode in the first half when Price blocked a 'Tosa punt causing it to land in the end zone. Waukesho held this two point lead until the final quarter when 'Tosa scored a safety and a lone touchdown to bring the score 8-2. Traveling to West Milwaukee with the odds against them, the Blockshirts opened a sparkling offense on the very first play. Trailing at the end of the half 13-7 the Mustangs launched a series of passes to again tie the score. From there on, it was the 'Blackshirts who controlled the game. The forward wall of the Woukesha team was brilliant in both offense and defense. Page Twenty-m'ne
