Much of the credit was due to Captain Paul Gndrey, who ran thirty yards on a lateral from Reck to be stopped on the five yard line.

The touchdown was made in the second quarter. Hillsboro was in a scoring position but lost the ball by a fumble. In the third quar- ter Staunton came near scoring several times but the line held them back. This was our first conference defeat. DECATUR VS. I-IILLSBORO We tipped one of the Big Twelve teams by a score of 13-O. Decatur started out as if they were going to mob our goal but one of our backs changed their minds for them. The Roemelin- P. Onclrey combination scored the touchdowns. MT. OLIVE VS. I-IILLSBORO Mt. Olive defeated us by a score of 9-0. This was not a conference game, although Mt. Olive is in the conference. In this game we finally got to see a game with the opposing backfield starring. This was the first home game we've had a chance like this. In this above mentioned backfield the star was a fellow by the name of Yourkovich. He should make the South Central All-Star.
