INDEPENDENTS WIN OPENER

September 10th - The Independents walked all over the 900 block team which was coached by former Independent QB Whisler. This was definitely more like a scrimmage with a farm type team. Some of the players on 900 Block the team were later seen on the Independents.

Notes- R.Salzmann listed as Headlinesman because he had not reported to the team. Harry Swanson listed at Umpire.
