Itwas their first year to play in new uniforms purchased by the AthleticDepartment. It was also the first season that programs and season bookswere used at the home games.As usual, the sweat and hard work began on August 15, more thanthree weeks before school opened its doors to returning students. Underthe careful direction of Coach Walter Gray and Assistant Coach GlenBonsett, the boys were shaped into a hard-scrapping football squad. Thegrid season opened for the Univees when they clashed with Dugger.Even though Dugger ran away with University on the scoreboard, thegame was closely played on the field. The Univee offense was good, butdefensively they could not hold the heavier, more powerful Dugger squad.Bouncing back the following week against the Greensburg Pirates, theGraymen won their first home game, holding the favored Pirates scoreless.Highlight of the game was Haring’s interception of a Greensburg lateralfor the first Univee touchdown. Next, the Univees met the mighty Washington Hatchets and tasted defeat once again. The U.H.S. gridders outplayed and outscored the Hatchets until stopped by injuries. Don Foster,Bill Andrews, and Pete Dunn were among the casualties. The MitchellBlue Jackets were next on the schedule. This time the Univees wentright to work, building up a 13-0 lead in the first half, and then coastedin the rest of the way for the win. Bedford won over our gridders theFINE TEAMWORKDown he goes! The Univee gridders demonstrate some of their tight defensive teamworkthat contributed to such splendid season record.
