Middle left: Quarterback Jay Hanselmann circles the end with Howe Hornets close on his track. Middle right: Jack Phillips skirting his left end eyes a threaten- ing tackier.

Off-and-On Gridmen Compile 4-6 Record Despite the won 4, lost 6 season record, the 1950 Ripple football team looked good, showed fine team spirit, and dis- played good sportsmanship. The Rocket grid men suffered a de- feat in their initial game of the season from South Bend Adams, a newcomer to the Ripple schedule. However, the boys came back the next week, socking Brazil, 32-7. The third game of the sea- son was a thriller, but the Rockets couldn ' t stop the inspired Evansville Central Bears who won, 19-12. The team beginning an off-again, on-again season won their last out-of-city en- counter by a 7-0 decision over the Red Devils of Richmond. Ripple lost its city opener to Howe; then the next week thumped Washing- ton, 24-0. Tech ' s Greenclads, eventual city co-champions, with Cathedral, downed the Orange and Black, 21-0. The follow- ing Friday Ripple was on and whipped Manual, 19-7. Playing the last two games in cold, wet weather, the gridders lost to Cathe- dral, 28-0 and Shortridge, 6-0.
