As we enter the home stretch of the 1968 WPK season, things are getting very interesting in the MGL and for our Denver Brewers.
Recent great success for the Detroit Falcons has lifted them back into second place in the MGL, a mere 2 games behind the Portland Wild Things. And the Brewers are right behind them at 2 1/2 games off the pace. Phoenix and Baltimore, at 3 out, are also in the thick of it.
The SJL, on the other hand, is down to 3 teams and the 2-time WPK Champs, Jacksonville, is virtually, if not mathematically, out of the running at 10 1/2 games behind Columbus. On the other hand, reigning champions Washington, have been on fire and are now within 4 games of 1st place.
As for the Brewers and their very real chance to win the MGL: it is mostly a very favorable schedule for the Brewers coming down the stretch. Eleven of their fourteen remaining games are at home. They will be playing 3 more against last place Charlotte, 6 more against 6th place San Francisco, who are just 2 games over .500, 3 more against the slumping Baltimore Lords, and 2 against 1st place Portland.
