During the first quarter the two teams battled it out in the middle of the field with neitlger team threatening to score. Early in the second quarter Shafter started its passing attack, which bogged down because of the wet ball. Neufeld passed to .lanzen who was out in the clear but dropped the ball because it was so slippery. Shatter then turned on its power, and on straight consecutive first downs went to the Maricopa 8 yard line, where they were penalized 15 yards for backfield in motion. As this was on the third down, Shafter failed to make required yardage. Maricopa took the ball and kicked it out of danger as the half ended. Early in the third quarter Maricopa set Shafter back to its goal line, and Neufeld had to kick. The kick was blocked be- hind the goal line and Maricopa obtained a two point lead on the safety which followed.

Many long runs by Mike Janzen and beautifully executed passes by Neufeld to Dorris, Lachenmaier, and Potter made the crowd real- ize they were seeing a good brand of American football. Shafter was able to score in the first period by means of a fade pass from Neufeld to Dorris, with a lateral to Myrick, Who crossed the goal line unmolested. The second score came after a long run by Janzen, followed by a check signal play which sent White over for the score. The third score was a pass from Neufeld to Janzen, who went over standing up. ln the closing moments of the game, Koop, a substitute fresh- man fullback, intercepted a Mari- copa pass and, evading a couple of Indian tacklers, went over the line. The only point after touch- down was made on this play by a pass to Janzen. The score: Shafter 25, Maricopa 0. Starling Lineup: Shafter 25 Position Maricopa 0 Dorrls ,,,,,,,,,,., L.E ....,...,.......

W' was highly touted to clean gi ' Shafter, but were able to ma ly six points on an intercepte f mass. As usual the two eleve ent on the field with blood in ir eyes, and, as can be expect d, some got bloody. It happened to be Shafter's lucky day, as none of their men were hurt, but four of the Wasco Tigers were taken out of the game. The Cards were at a disadvant- age of about 11 pounds per man. However, this was overcome with many passes and laterals which completely dazzled the growling tigers.

Cards Tie the First Game of Sea 0 Split Gamjlirlion Muddy Field McFarland, Oct. 3-Shafter and McFarland tied 6-6 in the open- ing game of the i936 football sea- son. The Cards started the season with about half the team playing their first time. The Shafter team's spirit fell when on the morning of the game it began to rain. As 'Coach White's plays are bassed on passes and laterals, it looked very bad for the Shafter- it.es. They started the game slightly outweighed by their op- ponents but soon made this up by gathering mud on their out- tits. The Cougars started immed- iately to use line plunges and power plays which were stopped successfully through the first quarter by the heads-up play of White and Edwards. In the sec- ond quarter they started to mix in end runs, and on a wide sweep around end went over for a touchdown. This did not seem to discourage the Cardinals be- cause they lined up with determ- ination to receive the kick off, but it was kicked outside and tContinued on Page 495

June, 1937 .si THE if ge 49 CardinalCag Shatter Splits Games With McFarland McFarland, Jan. 8 -In one of the fast- est and roughest bas- ketball games of the season, Shafter lost the first contest to McFarland 19-23. P 0 t t e r was higil point man with 9 points. Potter also showed very bril- liant Iioor work. Early in the seccnd period Jack White went out on fouls, followed in the last quarter by Tommy Dorris. Under the hard, aggressive playing of Mike Janzen at guard, the Cards were able to hold the Cougars to a close score. Shafter, Feb. 12-The return basketball game, played between Shafter and McFarland on the local court, was won by Shafter 34-28. In this game Orley Berg, a new man this year, was the star for the locals, making 17 points. He seemed to be able to sink them when and from where he wanted to. This game was not nearly so rough as the first, though it was more thrilling and spectacular throughout. Coach Bill White's A's made their test showing so far for the season in this game. Cards Defeat Tehachapi Squad in Gridiron Tussfe Tehachapi, Nov. 7 - After a loggy first half which ended in a scoreless tie, the Shatter 'Card- inals settled down to business in a big way, chalking up 25 points before the final gun. Tehachapi was unable to score. Shafter's hopes for league su- premacy rest on one remaining game, in which Maricopa, victor in the last encounter, l1opes to annex the coveted trophy. 'ZIIIIS V6 Shafter Cagers Drop Close Came To Maricopa Indians Maricopa, Dec. 11--The Shaf- ter varsity quintet dropped a hard-fought game to the West- -side heavies by a score of 19 to 17. This match, which was close throughout the entire game, was rather a heartbreaker for the lo- cal boys as they came up from behind in the last few minutes of play, but were unable to till the gap of the two-point lead wl1icl1 the Maricopa team had at- tained. The local team played quite a strong defensive game with their tight zone defense holding the sharp shooting Mari- copa cagesters. Continued from page -17 had to be kicked over. The next kick was good to Fry on his own ten yard line, and behind good blocking he scampered 90 yards to tie the score. This was proba- bly one of the most spectacular plays of the year, because every Cougar was blocked out and Fry ran unmolested. The third and fourth quarters were mostly played in the center of the field, with neither team ever in scoring position the rest of the game. p and nS son tx Shafter Cagers Lose Game To Wasco Wa-sco, January 22.-Shafter A's were taken into camp by Wasco by a lopsided score, which the reporter wishes to forget. Shafter was without the fight- ing guard, Jack White, who was out with a leg injury. As usual, Shafter had a lot of fight, but just couldn't put the ball through the hoop. The Wasconians used three teams against Shafter, which had only one, and thus they were able to wear the Cardinals down. Most of the Tiger's points were made on long shots. The short dump shots were stopped largely by Janzen and Potter. Shafter took its scoring in spurts, which were not frequent. enough to keep the sco1'e even. Dorris, with seven points, was high point man for the Cardinals. Starting lineups: Shafter Wasco Potter ............ L.F .....,.....
