November 13, 1942

The Westwood Lumberjacks defeated the Lassen Union High School Grizzlies Armistice Day, on the Westwood field, to the tune of 13 to 6.

With the game an annual feature of the Armistice Day celebration, the Lumberjacks outplayed the Susanville squad to turn in an impressive performance for the final game of the season.

Smashing through the hitherto impregnable center of the Lassen line, the Westwood boys drove to pay dirt once in the first quarter and again n the third, with a drop-kick accounting for the extra digit.

First Lumberjack counter came after a long pass placed them in scoring territory and two successive line drives put them over. The second score was the result of a recovered fumble on the Lassen 20 with hard thrusts at the line carrying them into pay dirt.
