EMANCIPATOR RESUME OF FOOTBALL SEASON With the close of the 1928 season, Lincoln College pigskin warriors had donned their fighting togs for the last time. In their closing year of that great American sport, the Railsplitters had a formidable rec-ord of eight defeats without a single victory. This may seem rather discouraging, but in bidding good-bye to the grid- iron game at dear old L. C. the Purple eleven was highly commended even by its opponents, for its never-dying stick-to-it-ive-ness and dogged fight at the hands of tremendous odds. The fact that only five of the men reporting for football had ever played football before in their high school days, may bring to light that it was a rather tough and strenuous task, forming a team that worked evenly and smoothly together. The Railsplitters however fought hard and under the guidance of Coach NVoleben, they gave their opponents plenty of opposition, that tired only through lack of good reserve material. Although it cannot be called a successful season, the Purple squad of 1928 will ever remain in the reminiscence of local gridiron rooters. In Captain Wayne Chrisman, who hails from Atlanta, We had one of the scrap- piest pigskin strutters in local athletic history, that any Little Nineteen School could have used availably. He finished his fourth season at Lincoln College at the tackle position and deserved more credit than he had been given. Terrible Noom Baker, plucky diminutive backfield man, displayed a real Spar- tan Spirit in all the games he participated in. The small 130-pound fullback was like a Lilliput. among Giants in most of the games but his pep and vigorous onslaught or stamina carried him through in magnificent style. Lincoln as a whole had a rather fair team but were at a loss from lack of ex- perience. In the first game which Lincoln lost unmercifully to Wesleyan 51-0, the Purple and Vifhite opened up with a searing attack that so used up its energies as to weaken its defense. Wesleyan, on the other hand, blessed with experienced reserves, replaced their men with fresh material without weakening their lineup. Proof of this contention lies in the fact that while VVesleyan only scored once in the first quarter, they added two touchdowns in the second, th1'ee in the third, and two in the fourth period of the game. In defeat, Lincoln always showed its true spirit and football ability. The Rail- splitters played head-up ball all through the season, and fought until the last whistle. It's too bad that Lincoln had to give up football, but now that the Junior College is taking effect, it would have had to be abandoned anyway. But we'1l miss that dear old fall classic, and the plunk of shoe against pigskin, when classes resume in September. XVe'll miss you and will be sorry that you had to leave. -HEINIE DEHNER. Thirty-two
