The Berries were pick- ed to be loaded, but the Apaches scored three quick touchdowns in the second quar- ter and held the Berries off the remainder of the way. The next Friday, Wabash had little trouble in racking up its second win as it ground out 359 yards on the turf to rap Concordia of Fort Wayne 34-18. Two weeks later the Apaches opened the defense of the conference title at home against Huntington. When Dick Wolpert dashed 33 yards with 58 seconds left in the third quarter, it marked the first time that the Vikings had been scored upon all year. The roof caved in, in the fourth quarter, and Wabash went on to win 25-13. The next week, the Apaches started thinking about the Peru game, which was two weeks away, and they were stopped in their tracks by an Elwood team that just wouldn't stop driving. The Apaches bounced back the next week to beat Plymouth for the second straight year. The 1952 Champions ot C.l.A.C., the Peru Tigers, were the next victims of the Apaches by the score of 15-U. The Tigers were held to a net of 65 yards as they went down to their only defeat of the season. The following Friday, Wabash scored 35 mark- ers in the first half and played defense for the rest of the game, as they defeated Hart- ford City, 35-U. The annual Victory Bell game was also the last for these seniors: Bern Basse, Bud Baker, Larry Amick, James Cillen, Dick Howell, Jay Huffman, Dave Brady, Jerry Brady, Sam Stephens, Tom Dunfee, Virgil Mylin, and Ted Ply. These boys weren't disappointed, for the Apaches scored 26 points the first half and coasted to an easy 40-13 win. Coach John Tatum's boys finished another successful season - 7 wins - l loss. This record gave them a second place tie in the conference with Elwood. Coach Tatum will have several returning lettermeng and with the help of his assistants, Jim Jones, A1 Franklin, and Ward Smith, he will certainly have another fine team next year. Page Twenty-Eight
