Fort's passing attack was sharp and they took an early lead. We had a number of opportunities to score but penalties held us back. It was a wet, cool night and by half time the fog had closed in so tightly that on punts the ball actually disappeared in mid-air . We felt badly about losing since it was the last football many of the seniors will play. Most Valuable W.H.S 34 - Stoughton 0 Co-Captains: Ken Little, Mike Dean This was our banner game since it was home- coming and nothing stopped us from laying it on. Pigorsch recovered a fumble in the end-zone for our first marker. Then Jim Gale intercepted a pass and went 51 yards to score. The first 'l 'l earned their malts from Coach when Pigorsch scored on his end-around. Our reserves came in and kept up the scoring pace as Spoentgen raced 43 yards to score and then passed to Lehman for another 6 points. hx fi YQ U. 3 i f .S -rugs if ti' was - .s14: - 4 7 ff Lhxgi '1'?'bl..'...V2!E5 ,, ' vs- . im-avi: wwf' I 'T - wx, , ,- Wlllifm f CVS 4- YJ fifllyf 'ii .N, 1.'-Z ' n i? is N, ., 1. fgh u Co-Captains

Baraboo 22 - W.H.S. 13 Captain, Paul Trump Baraboo, an undefeated team when we met them, was rated as having one of the most power- ful lines in the conference. However we were ready for them. Damon hit Sarles with two beau- tiful passes and Bryant carried it over from the 17. Score at the half, 7-6. In the second half Trump blocked a kick, recovered it and raced for another goal. A defensive lapse allowed the Hornets to score on a screen pass, and then on an intercepted pass. The game was featured by terrific line play but we never managed to catch up. is 1 rrri i 1 f 1 f it 1 l I' M-4 IA ww ' mf Edgerton 19 -- W.H.S. 6 Co-Captains: Jim Herrick, Paul Trump We played well against the Co-Champions from Edgerton but lack of speed at certain times held our team back. Our line didn't yield a great deal of yardage but the speed of Edgerton was too much and they got around our ends. We scored first on a beautiful march but again a blocked kick proved too much and they scored on it. Hol- land did well in the backfield while Dean and Little were strong in the line. 6 ,ix I I ,, - , swf 2 ...i , er! .s 1 wlr 1 f .fi , i i , 5 SM, .. ...- d-Tami ,.

Trump had quite a day, scoring three times and doing beautifully on defense. Our line was good from end to end, and Monroe didn't know quite what to do. They never pressed our 20 except on a long run. Monroe knew she was in a football game. I 'T X K Q Avjwwgfgy il' Iv ,fy .V V, V J -' ' A ,.-wifi .J V.: ,.,kg.:'., U 6 .F 'gQf'55,, 1313 '-Za ggi ,.

PRESENTING THE TEAM-INDIVIDUALLY Tom Atchison - Tom came to us as a new boy this year, and did a fine iob playing first string center. He is a good worker, and we're glad he's back for next season. il' Skip Bassett - Skip was our Don Hutson type of end, and could really snag passes. His spirit was tops, and he would have been a sure all-city choice had his body been as big as his heart. ik' Dick Bryant - Dick was our scat back, and made several nice runs during the season. lf he can curb his tendency to clown around, we'll venture to predict that 'Bry will be one of the outstanding players in the conference next year. Sir Reed Butler - Pete played a lot of tackle for us this year, and helped anchor our line. One of the most quiet boys on the squad, he was always steady and dependable and will be missed next year. Sir Don Damon - Don was our first string quarterback and strategist, and always eager to get in there and go. Two bad knees couldn't keep him down, and we're sure that his courage and confidence will pay him dividends some day. Sir Mickey Dean - Mike is one of the few to win three major letters. Spirit and hustle characterized his play, and he was usually at the bottom of the pile. Mike was highly thought of by his team-mates, and was elected co-captain by them. Dave Ehlers - Dave transferred to Wisconsin High this year, and served as a tackle on the team. His play helped the team most during mid-season when iniuries cut into our manpower. Dave was a will- ing worker. Sir Dave Freclrickson - Dave came along fast during the year, and was a fine end by the season's finale. We liked his spunk, and feel that with a little more aggressiveness he can be a standout player next year. We'll be watching him with interest. ik Steve Gerharclt - Steve is a rarity - a maior letter winner as a freshman! He has a very bright future before him if he pays attention to business and learns his lessons well. Steve has the neces- sary qualities - the rest is strictly up to him! Si? Jim Gale - Jim was the unspectacular type of player, but a mighty handy man to have around. Always willing and anxious to play, Jim loved con- tact and made his presence felt around the right halfback spot. Sir Fritz Hanson - Fritz played his first year of foot- ball as a senior and we're sorry he didn't report earlier. Blessed with speed and a good body, he was just beginning to be a fine fullback when the season ended. Certainly wish he had another year to show what he learned. if Jim Herrick - A transfer from Chicago, Jim was a very valuable addition to our team. Although slow afoot, he made up for this with determination and zeal. Jim was a fine competitor.
