A strong Erie, Pennsylvania, eleven came west and found the Lumberjacks too tough. The colorful feud ended in grim deadl ock. Alma kept the Hill spirits at a satisfactory ebb by tumbling before a mediocre offense 6 to 0. The Valley curtain-raiser left the fans in doubt, as the Jacks fought Flint Northern ' s Vikings to a score- less tie. Harry McGee turned out to be the first casualty of the year when he came out of the fray with a broken leg. An automobile accident heavily draped all optim- ism. This catastrophe ended the life of Arthur Schweins- haupt, junior halfback, and seriously hampered the work 66 193 8

A shaken squad could do little to resist Lansing Central ' s offensive steam roller in the Homecoming tilt. After dominating the first quarter at Dort Field, the Wolgast men suc- cumbed to a tenacious Flint Central attack. Ending the victory famine, the gridders collared a defiant Owosso outfit when Elmer E. Simon plunged over the final chalk line to score. The Wolves and the Lumberjacks scrambled in the mud for four quarters and when the final gun sounded the Wolves came out with a 6 to verdict. Minus the services of Bob Antle and Floyd Beffrey, both on the sidelines with broken wrists, the Jacks arrived at the Turkey Day tilt. With nothing exceptional to offer against the high-riding Valley champion Trojans of Saginaw High, the Jacks took a 21 to jolt, to close the football curtain.
