From that tint, on, th.- nix games th< E h .-ns w. t, not victims of bad t.t.ak- was the N rth I.ibertx game, a rough and ready < nt. st the game wit h Hr. m. n in th< Bi-C. unty t uim x. a game that bad breaks t"uldn t hav< hurt them anx more than their pill, and the game against K ids m th. Sectional Thmsdaj night. Thi. ugh ah th. other cont, st.s many judgment calls of the officials had a right to be questioned, but not by a team in trouble. Saturday afternoon's display at Knox, had the situati. n been reversed, would not have been passed off »o lightly. Had the Falcons committed the intentional flagrant foul to an opponent, the fans of this area would have been watching other teams next year. It would have cost them plenty. The incident where Jin k Ross was hurt enough to be taken to the hospital with a concussion. could certainly have been question'd and questmn.-d hard, but not by a team in trouble. Add to these two situations very late in the game, th. fact the Falcons were tied at the gun and beaten in the overtime, it took a lot < f < .urage and will power for the coa< h and plax- ' rs to accept def. at like gentlemen Spo i.al congratulations have to be extended tn these boys and their oach who stiffen'd more this season than most athletes of an amateur statis will suffer in a career. It has been a very hard and trying season for everyone inv.dved but they stood up voiced, but the way they stnnd up throughout is a credit to the players thems. Ives.
