of off sides bv the accused. The Cowhands and the Demons fought a bitter duel, each team having 2 scoring opportunities, the Demons cashing in on theirs when, after a series of plays which set the ball on the 16 yard stripe, Bill Huber jurrrped on a Toomey fumble which rolled from the 9 yard line over the goal tc account for the margin of victory. Once more the Demons threatened during the clash but a gallant goal line stand by the Meeker club halted them on the 2 yard line. The Rifle Bears, traditional rival of the Demons, were the next to fall before the highly admired Glenwood attack, 6--O in a conference tilt, which was con- tested on the local field. The Demon victory marked the seventh straight win over the Bears,- the Red and White supremacy dating back to 1940. ln the first quarter, the locals' skill overshadowed the Rifle squad's so much that there was little doubt of the outcome. The touchdown after a march downfield to the ten yard line, came in the third period when Leonardi faded wide to flip a perfect aerial to Eiswerth who was standing in the end zone. The conversion again failed- The Glenwood aggregation won the fnllowing week's game by forfeit from the Oak Creek Miners, usually a potential threat for the title, 1- 0. The Orediggers dropped out of 1944 conference play after the first game, a 31 - O defeat at the hands of Steamboat, due to their inability to field a team sufficient to contest the Yampa Valley Clubs. G. C. 1-1. S.' three game winning streak came to an abrupt halt in their next tilt, as the Sailors of Steamboat Springs, exhibiting a potent offensive machine. rolled over the Demons to the tune of 37-6. The victory gave the Sailors third place, trailing Craig, second place club, and Hayden, who won the league bunt- ing by downing Meeker 19-0, following their 38-O trouncing of Craig the pre- vious week. The Sailors' power laden outfit showed a marked supremacy, scoring two first quarter rallies to lead 12-O before the Demons began to click. Taking a kickoft on the 15, the Red and White engineered a march downfield to the 7 yard line from where Lough, hard driving Demon halfback carried over for the score to narrow the Sailors' margin. The Swabies , however, scored frequently and almost at will in the last half to account for the margin of victory. Coming back strong after the 37-6 trouncing administered by the Sailors. the Demons of G. C. H. S. exhibited a loyal spirit as well as a classy eleven operat- ing from a T-formation to write a successful finis to the 1944 gridiron season by downing a growling Bear from Rifle, 7-6 in an Armistice Diy clash at the Cub liideout. Rifle scored first, a long end run setting up their first opportunity, one which they cashed in on, the Rifle fullback going over from the 8 to score. john Milton's hard tackle stooped the Rifle fullback's attemped plunge to leave the half-time score at 6-O. The Clenwood eley en scored midway in the third period a concentrated drive taking them to the fifteen, where Bill Huber fast, shifty Demon fullback, took it over to score. Out of a fake kick formation, Zerbe passed to Eiswerth in the end zone to account for the narrow victory margin.
