The 1953 Dundee Bulldogs Cheerleaders. Freshman Sandra Bose - Sophomore Irene Sliffe and Junior Vada Snyder.
DOVER - First-Year Head Coach Woody Gephart's Dundee Bulldogs (0-1) (6-16) (29-46) and the Port Washington Purple Riders' 7th-Year Head Coach Bray Toot (1-0) (13-7) (17-47) put on a cautious exhibition of basketball in the 1st two quarters and the game close all the way with Bulldog Senior guard Weldon Flynn dead-locking the count at 21-21 just as the 1st half ended. With forward John Kochner and Junior center Ken Huston denting the cords regularly in the 3rd stanza, the Purple Riders pulled ahead and rode out the stanza to pull into a 37-29 lead at the far turn.
The excitement piled up in the final canto with Junior forward Dale Hostetler driving in 3 straight from the field and Junior center Dick Slemmer bringing Dundee up to within 2 points 44-42 with 2 minutes and 30 seconds left to play. Huston and Sophomore forward Paul Frank pulled Port away on free throw shots and the Riders went into a partial stall to keep the lead.
Huston poured in 8 field goals and 7 free throws to lead the scoring pace with 23 points, while Frank added 12 and Kochner 10 markers respectively for Port. Flynn was high for the Bulldogs with 14 points and Hostetler tallied another 12 markers
Port visited the Dundee gymnasium during the season and came away with a 54-50 victory.
