These boys deserve a lot of credit for doing as well as they did with only eight players. They sure were tired after the game, but a couple of them stayed dressed for the varsity game and finally did see some action with the big team. Dave Harris was the quarterback and called all the plays for the team and called a nice game, too. When he found out he could not get anywhere on the ground against the larger opponents, he took to the air and connected on some really thrilling passes. The two receivers were Ken Bergsma and Jerry Dring. They each caught five passes during the game and each scored two touchdowns. George Deidrich scored the Rackets' only extra point. Others to see action in this game for the underclassmen were Mitchell Adams, Mike West, Jim Miller and Dennis Kolmar. By next football season we know that some of these boys will be playing varsity ball so until next season keep an eye on these" boys and see if they put on any size.

Gridiron table centerpiece is made of green velvet. Ten-yard stripes are strips of paper. Goal posts and flagpole are pencils set in modeling clay. Use a food dye to color the cooked eggs a uniform brown, and a black crayon to draw stitching and lacing lines on "footballs." You can "score" highly with this party idea, the Poultry and Egg National board suggests.
