Downers Grove 7 West Aurora 21 Playing a strong team on their own field proved to be too great a task for the high- spirited and gallant Trojan team. West Aurora scored in each of the first three quarters, and the Downers boys pushed over in the fourth period. Downers Grove 0 Maine 1 4 Downers’ trouble in this game was their in- ability to guard against passes. Both of Maine’s touchdowns came as a result of aerials. The Trojans would like to have played this game over, because the locker room feeling was that the Blue Demons weren’t so hot. Downers Grove 0 Riverside-Brookfield 6 Having fumblitis” seemed to be in style for Downers at Riverside this year. For there were three passes dropped by Downers boys that might have changed the score by 18 points. R-B pushed over in an exciting last quarter drive. This was a game where all the breaks went against the Trojans. Downers Grove 14 Hinsdale 13 Perhaps playing before their Dads or getting to keep the Old Oaken Bucket for another season inspired the heavies this day, but whatever it was they gained their first victory of the season by a hair-raising 14-13 score. Each team scored a touchdown in the first quarter, but Hinsdale failed to add the extra point. This proved to be their downfall. Downers Grove 0 La Grange 1 2 LaGrange proved their defensive value when they kept our Trojans from scoring when they had a 1 st and goal on the LaGrange 8. Downers played on equal or better terms with LaGrange during the second half. Some beautiful kicking was done by Downers. Downers Grove 13 York 12 This was another exciting game in which the final score was just a one point margin for Downers. This game was more thrilling than that with Hinsdale, because all the scoring was done in the last quarter. Downers scored first, but failed to convert. York had the same success. The game’s highlight came when Downers returned York’s kickoff for a 100 yard touchdown run. The extra point was made. York then scored, but to the relief of all loyal Downersites ”, failed to add the extra point. Downers Grove 40 Marmion 0 This game is best summed up by saying that it was a riot for Downers. They scored twice in the first, twice in the third and twice in the fourth. All of Downers’ players got to play at one time or another. Downers 2 Glenbard 1 3 Downers 2 points in this game came as a result of trapping a Glenbard player behind his goal line. Downers out-played Glenbard for the first half, and were ahead 2-0 at half- time. Glenbard mixed their plays up in the second half and kept changing from passing .to running. They scored two touchdowns to win 13-2. HEAVIES Row One: E. Lester, B. Smith, H. Boula, S. Ross, L. Mizener, Copt. B. Perkins, B. Holmes, K. Turner, N. Hagemann, Mar. Row Two: B. Seifert, Mgr., D.

JJIWA-On Parts On Saturday afternoons during the fall, the cross country contests were regular events Between halves of the football games, the squad under the direction of Mr Donovan Ingles met their opponents of the West Sub- urban Conference. Of the twenty-six original candidates, Phil Goodell, Herb Wills, Harold Bowen, and Gordon Pedersen received their letters. This group provides a fine nucleus for next year, because they will all return Riverside-Brookfield and Hinsdale were de- feated by Downers Grove, while Maine, La Grange, and York turned the tables on us These victories and defeats placed us sixth in the Conference The two-mile boys, however, were all first year lettermen and their experi- ence and effort in the coming years should bring home a winning team Let's have a C mon Purple, C mon White! What say? cry our cheerleaders. They have spent much time in spurring our teams on to victory. A fine example of good sportsmanship is demonstrated by their yells with the op- ponent’s cheerleaders. Captained by a senior, Jim Scott, are Pat Feen, Arlie Mae Finnegan, Gail Bormann, June Garner, Dave Reade, Pete Wetmore, Mary Ann Bucek, and Shirley Meyers. All will be back again next year with the exception of Jim and Pat. Miss Katharine Reuther coaches this squad which is as important to athletics as sport teams Three senior fellows Delos Hays, Don Gaertner and Dick Goad also led some cheering during the basketball season What say about giving the cheerleaders a rousing hand clap to show that we ll always be rooting with them
