22 THE 25-yard line. Bushman again received a pass from Graf and tallied another touch- down. From this point of the game the under- grads showed their superiority over the Alumni, whose forward wall was begin- ning to weaken. Continually the young- sters' backfield slashed through their line for substantial gains. After another touch- down the undergrads received a kick-off on their own live-yard line. Volz called for a forward pass. Graf after fumbling the ball for a time hurled the pigskin fifty yards into the ever waiting arms of Bush- man, who ran the rest of the way for the final touchdown of the game.

On November 29th, Thanksgiving, the fast Van Wert High School team formed our opposition. It was the final game of the season. Van Wert had established the reputation of having the best football ag- gregation in western Ohio. At the break of day no one could have wished a better day for football. The crisp morning air suggested a real snappy football perform- ance for the afternoon's entertainment. But ECHO as the hours went by, clouds began to darken the sky, soon a mist, and then a drizzling rain put hopes for a dry field into the glimmering. At noon a steady rain began to fall and when the whistle announced play to start it developed into a downpour. The gridiron was a sea of mud when both teams lined up for battle. f'When the mighty Bushman, appearing for the last time in a C. C. H. S. grid uni- form, took the ball over the line in the first quarter, a wail went up from the large crowd that stood shivering in the mud and heavy rain, for it was the first time this season that the Van Wert line had been crossed. Urged on by the loyal, dripping fans. the Van Wert team fought desper- ately. but Doriot's men were too much for them and the ball lingered near their end of the field a large part of the time. The second touchdown was one of the freakiest of the season. Graf had punted over the goal line and the ball was put in play on the twenty-yard line. Twice the Fort Wayne line broke through and the man with the ball was thrown for a loss. On the next play the Van Wert backfield man fumbled on the five-yard line and the ball rolled a couple of feet toward the goal. Out of the scrambling, slippery stack of players shot the big form of Captain Graf. VVith the ball under his arm and lying on his side, he slid about two yards to the goal line and two feet over for good measure. The field was covered with hard packed clay and in the driving rain it took on the appearance of high grade grease. Both teams had fast open field runners, but the condition of the field made it impossible to get away, for an attempt to turn meant a fall. Fumbles were frequent, one side making about as many as the other. Fort Wayne turned most of the fumbles to their advantage, however. Ever on the alert, they recovered most of their own fumbles and a large part of ,Van Wert's,

24 THE ECHO although the Catholics muffed once in the shadow of the Van Wert goal and the Buckeyes recovered, preventing a touch- down. Although the second period resolved it- self into a punting duel, Van Wert threat- ened twice during the last half. In the third period they drove the ball to the one-yard line, but Fort VVayne held and threw them back. Again, after Fort Wayne's second touchdown and just before the game ended, the game Ohioans started a desperate and intricate series of plays that netted them thirty yards before they were stopped. The Catholic seniors were given a chance in the game and played brilliantly in their last contest. They were Captain Graf, who played one of the best games of the year, Bushman, Kelker, Waite, Loney, Flick, McGrath, Volz, Ferguson, and Foo- hey. Handicapped by the heavy field, Bushman could not get away for his usual long runs, but he played one of the hard- est games of his career. Kelker, Waite and Loney gave their very best and Flick made a fine showing, for he was pitted against Hines, Van Wert's center, and one of the best men on his team. McGrath showed more than his usual fight and Volz, at quarter, led the team for the last time, but to a most admirable victory. Ferguson and Foohey fought like demons, being especially strong on tack- ling. The Van Wert team seemed to be built around Hines, their fighting center, who was flanked and bolstered by two good guards and the fat tackles . Eckenstein and Siples, in the backfield, did most of the gaining, although a forward pass, Ag- ler to Gunn, helped along. p Van Wert COD C. C. H. S. QIZJ Gunn ............,......... RE ...........

Touchdown- Graf, Bushman. That C. C. H. S. had a wonderful aggre- gation of grid men is evidenced by glanc- ing over the All-City high school team picked by a local sports editor. Undoubt- edly C. C. sentatives might have several more repre- on the first team, but Coach Doriot in planning for next year's team gave each member of the squad a chance to develop in nearly all of the games, thus preventing more players starring individ- uallyf' -LEO HARTMAN, '25, The Alumni Game for old time sakeQ A Our Team Our team is there, it's far the best To any other one we're told, And it has stood the acid test For us, it is the purple and gold. Our halfbacks all can carry the ball, End runs are full and wide. They never seem to tumbleand fall, But help to turn the tide. Our quarterback's a brainy one- To him is left the brunt It's up to him the team to run- He's always at the front. Last of all, our line, it's great, For our captain does his part, For he stops 'em at any rate With his dash and endless dart. -+HOWARD PAULEY, '24. Meet our new coach at the Alumni Game.
