For three periods the two teams were unable to push over any score. Early in the final quarter Capital scored the only touchdown of the game on a 40-yard pass that was first partially blocked by two Toledo players and finally caught by a Capital man as he was stumbling across the goal line. It was a purely defensive game, both teams resorting to frequent punting and doing little offensively. Only five first downs were recorded, three by Toledo and two by Cap- ital. Numerous penalties halted drives of both elevens.

O A heavy rain and a muddy field greeted the University of Toledo eleven when it traveled to Detroit to meet the City College Tartars there in its second game of the season. The two teams battled to a scoreless tie. The Rockets outgained Detroit throughout, but the wet ball brought on many costly fumbles: frequent penalties also prevented any scoring by either team. The fast Toledo backs found difficulty in getting started on the rain-soaked gridiron. The first half was a punting duel between Jerry Welling of Toledo and Demaree of Detroit. -l72--

QBLOCKHOUSE SMOLINSKI NIGH NAIARIAN SMITH Held in check in the first half by the much heavier Kenyon team, Toledo came back with a vengeance in the second half to sweep their down-state opponents off their feet and score a touchdown in each of the last two quarters. The first score was made on an end run by Ed Southard, Rocket end, from the 38- yard line after Ed Smolenski had intercepted a Kenyon pass. In the final period the Rockets marched down the field to their opponents' 3, from where Jerry Welling took it over. The superiority of the Rockets was never in doubt as the ball was in Kenyon's terri- tory most of the time. BOWLING GREEN ' Effectively smothering an outclassed Bowling Green football team the University of Toledo rode roughshod over the Falcons to win 25-7 in the Homecoming Day game, Oc- tober 28th, at St. John's Field. Aggressive football gave the Blue and Gold its first touchdown. Bowling Green was forced back to the shadow of its goal line. Ford Murray, stellar and diminutive quarterback of the visitors, faded back to quick kick. Jerry Welling, charging in fast, blocked the at- tempted boot and the alert Ed Southard fellon the ball over the goal line. Keith Davis dropkicked the extra point. The second touchdown came as Bill Smith ran Murray's punt back brilliantly to the Falcon 35. Welling cut into his left tackle and outran the Bowling Green backs to score standing up. Davis again tried to dropkick for the extra point but it was blocked. Bill Smith ran 45 yards through the Falcon team, after an interception of lVlurray's pass, to score the third touchdown.
