Gladwin Too Strong
In FB Opener, 20-7
Clare High's gridders learned
., tf Friday that they couldn't make
mistakes against a powerful opponent like Gladwin and escape
paying the price, The price they
paid for their bitter lesson, — a
20-7 licking before a capacity
crowd on the Pioneer's home
field.    ,
Fumbles robbed Clare of two
scoring opportunities and drained the; offense of its sharp spirit
And three defensive misplays
opened the door to an alert and
capable Gladwin eleven.
After Gladwin scored first in
the opening quarter when Doug
Redman, took a (30-yard pass bo-
#.% hind Clare's defense, the Green
and White countered with a toss
into the Gs end zone from Davis
to "Ruark, Both teams converted
their extra points to make the
halftime gcore 7-7,
In the secoond half it was Bed-
man again who slipped in behind
the Pioneer defensive backs to
take a perfect pass and dash over
for a touchdown.
, Clare hopes for another comeback were smothered when a fait*
Catch near midfield slipped out
of the arms of the Clare receiver
and was recovered by Gladwin,
and glimmered out later when a
_Y costly fumble lost 25 yards and
the ball on downs.
Gladwin spiked the game securely with  a  40-yard  running
.play in the final quarter with
Redman again scoring and Hall
adding the point
Coach Perry faced the problem
this week bf getting his players
"up" again for a tough Friday
evening against Michigan Lutheran Seminary of Saginaw on the
Seminary's field.
{Bright "spots in the Pioneer performance last weekend were the
stubborn line play off the CHS
forwards who faced as tough and
experienced a line as they will
play all year. ■

to turn in an outstanding performance on defense.
While Clare was being stunned
■It might bo a. safe bet that
Clare football coach George
Perry can, never again he
tempted! to make rosy predictions for his team before their
first game! It was only a few
days ago that he said publicly
that the team had conference
championship possibilities and
he had "the best line in the
last six years of coaching."
Yes, Ids words sounded bitter
to him as he watched his boys
take a first-game setback at
the hands of a team they wanted to beat
But we think Perry was
right the first time. He knows
that this team has really got
the talent and the power. And
he knows that one defeat
doesn't make the season a
washout.
Coaoh Perry — did you read
what Kurt Kampe, coach at
Saginaw Arthur Hill said when
his Lumberjacks were crushed
41-12 in their first game? He
still insisted, '1 don't care what
anybody says, we're going to
have a good football team before the season is over. Our
kids never.quit out,there."
■Here is on© fan who thinks
Perry and CHS   are going   to
see a winning team if the boys
jton'fc take too long getting, u©
off-the floor.

has a new automatic resuscitator
on order this week, the gift to
the Department and the community from the Clare Rotary club.

needed in the Department's
Emergency Vehicle,
Victims of drowning accidents,
electric shock, choking and other
accident emergencies should call
the Clare Fire Department when
the resuscitator will help.
Fireman Marlin Alexander explained that the new item is an
improvement over the old one
because, it is lighter, weighing
only 36 pounds and may be
quickly moved to the scene of
an emergency.
Automatic and very compact,
it still packs 30 feet of extension
tube to enable operators to reach
victims in places of difficult accessibility.
Aiding breathing by artificial
means, the new equipment also
pumps needed oxygen into a
