Don Johnson sidesteps McCoy of Knox on Cctober 25. The GildeaftoSchryver combination clicked twice. For variety, the extra point was also a GildeaftofSchryver heave. Augie completed four out of six passes for an unusual record in anklefdeep mud and a cold, chilling drizzle. The stalwarts of the Viking forward wall, Oaks and Simonson, stopped three long Monmouth college drives on November 1, as the Vikings and the Scots battled to a 0f0 tie on the Monmouth gridiron. The officials threw the rule book at the Vikings as they lost 75 yards on penalties. A muddy field gave the team plenty of trouble. Augie was stopped again on November 8 for its second Of0 tie in a row by a shoestring tackling, jerseyfpulling Lake Forest squad. By using every trick possible to hold the Vikf ings on the field, the Iaybirds knocked Augie out of a tie with North Central for Hrst place in the Little Nine race. Fullback Perry Roos starred as a linefplunger, defensive tackler and kicker. He got off a 58fyard boot. Whalen, Bjork and Hinkle all ran nicely from their backfield slots. Both teams threatened twice, Augie coming the closest. Both of the Viking attempts petered out within ive yards of the goal line. The Vikings closed their season November 15 with a muddy 9fO loss to Illinois Wesf leyan, and dropped to third place in the ninefteam College Conference of Illinois. Augie's defense was good but the team seemed to find each other unrecognizable in the mud and slime of the Wesleyan pasture. The Titans scored on a long pass and extra point and on a touchback. Bob Johnson, Ernie Karlstrom, Warren Hinkle and Don johnson played their last games for the Vikings as seniors. Working under an auxiliary coach, joe Yenger, the Augustana gridiron B team wound up a short three game season with a one won and a two loss record. The St. Ambrose reserves were the first to trounce the Augie men, 18 to 0. The Scots of Monmouth had a powerful freshman team this season that had little trouble handing Yenger's Yokels their second loss, 41 to 6, at Monmouth, and in their final game, the Augie representatives downed the Knox freshman squad, 12 to 0, on the Augie gridiron.
