In their opening game of the season the Blue Jays defeated Wentworth Military Academy at Lexington, Mo., in a night game by a 19 to 14 CAPTAIN FOSTER WILEY, End, Creighton, Mo. The honor bestowed upon Spoof,' as captain was well placed, as he displayed exceptional ability for leadership and was untiring in his ef- forts to help Coach Stuber produce a 'true West- minster team. Again in Spoof we ind that little men can do great things. DENZIL C. WARDEN, Center, Joplin, Mo. Dainty suffered a leg injury early in the sea- son which handicapped him a great deal. How- ever, when in the battle he used his beef to a great advantage by offering a stubborn detour. CARL HALL, Guard, Fulton, Mo. Doc was perhaps the most stable player on the team. He was always in the fight when it was the hardest and will be sorely' missed next year. fourteen score. Playing his first college game Billy Tol- liver proved himself capable of filling the back- field position vacated by Boyd last year. Cox, playing his third year at halfback, scored two touchdowns, and Cole, a freshman, crossed the goal for the winning score. Both teams were handicapped as they were not accustomed to night football. . The next week the Blue Jay team displayed a CAPTAIN-ELECT IRLEY MCCLARD, Guard, Dexter, Mo. After playing his freshman year in the back- field Irley was changed to guard position in the line. As a guard, he leaves nothing to be desired, either on the defense or offense. Irley is a. hard, consistent player with that gol' dang it letis git 'em spirit. So ably does he fill his position that the team elected him captain for next year. CHAUNCEY FARRELL, Quarterback, Farmington, Mo. Here is a man who has untiringly given his SSYYICQS to the team and has developed into a reliable, heady playerg Chauncey is a good broken-field runner and netted some long gains for the Blue Jays. His services will be deeply missed next year, for such dependable players are hard to find.

1930 Foollrall Season-Conlinuecl fast running and passing attack and a stubborn defense defeated the heavy College of Emporia eleven 12 to 7 on Priest Field. It was the first victory of a Blue Jay eleven over the Kansas team in the three years they have met. Em- poria scored after three minutes of play on a series of long runs. To the large crowd watch- ing the game a Westminster victory seemed im- possible. However a few minutes later the fans cheered wildly when a beautiful triple pass, Cox to Wiley to Tolliver, gave Westmin- ster a touchdown. In the second half after a steady drive to Emporia's 15-yard line Tolliver took the ball, dashed, twisted, and dogged his way through the entire Red Team for the win- ning touchdown. Emporia made several pass- ing attempts in order to score but was unsuc- cessful. Journeying to St. Louis the Westminster team was defeated by Washington University in a night game by a 14 to 0 score. The Blue Jay line stopped several Washington thrusts but weakened on two occasions which resulted in Bear scores. Wagner, Westminster fullback, suffered a broken arm early in the game which weakened the Blue Jay offense. In the last quarter a series of passes and runs put the Blue Jays in a position to score, placing the ball on Washington's 5-yard line. After two at- tempts to plunge the line failed the Jays re- sorted to the air, but both passes were stopped by the Washington secondary and a few min- utes later the game ended with the ball in mid- field. For the first time in two years the Kirksville Teachers College succeeded in downing the Blue Jays. The game was played at night on Kirksville's new field, the score being 9 to 0. The Pedagogues held the upper hand during the entire contest, successfully staving off every Blue Jay threat. In the second quarter the Teachers scored a touchdown after a series of passes and sweeping end runs. The attempt to kick goal for the extra point was blocked. Re- ceiving the Kirksville kick-off the Jays ad- vanced the ball with steady drives to the Kirks- ville 3-yard line but there faltered and were held for downs. Late in the final period Kirks- ville scored a field goal from the 25-yard line, cinching the game for the Teachers. Playing before a Dad's Day crowd the Blue Jays again tasted the fruits of victory by over- whelming Drury College in a conference game at Fulton. The Jays won by a 32 to 0 score. Westminster scored two touchdowns in the first quarter, Cole accounting for the first and Crews the second. In the second quarter Tolliver, with long runs through the Panther team, put the ball on Drury's 5-yard line and Cox scored Continued on page 18 - m ' , ' ' ff lf 1 ..- -.4 'A 'Y i. fifteen
