When the half ended the score stood 7-7, In the third quarter, the score still tied, Kirchman ran through the opponents' team to the ten yard line where the only man between him and the goal line downed him, thus saving Morgantown from defeat. There were many thrilling runs during the game with Kirchman and Hay- mond dividing the honors for Fairmont. UNIONTOWN 6-0 The gridiron was extremely muddy but the plunging backs of Fairmont could not be stopped. Most of the plays were through the line but Kirchman hurled a beautiful pass to Haymond who ran the remaining thirty yards for the lone touchdown of the game. Agrippe failed to kick the goal and the Polar Bears won by a score of 6-O. This is the first time Fairmont ever played an out-of-state team. BUCKHANNON 3-0 The Buckhannon game was the closest escape from defeat that the Bears had during the season. Buckhannon possessed the strongest defense that the locals played against. Agrippe saved the day kicking a Held goal in the first quarter and tried several other times but failed. This game resumed the rela- tionship between the schools in football. WHEELING 7-6 Playing on a slightly muddy field, the Polar Bears marched on to their fourth victory over John Knight's eleven from Wheeling by the score of 7-6. The Bears scored in the early part of the game and Wheeling tallied in the last half, but failing to make the try for goal after the touchdown, the score re- mained 7-6 for the remainder of the game. There were not any individual stars in this game but all the boys were playing good ball. Fairmont scored from a pass, Satterfield to Folio, who was past the goal line. Folio dropped another pass from Satterfield which would have been a touchdown had he held it. Page 103

l CARLTON HAUN Junior Guard Second year on squad Carlton followed in his big brother's footsteps and proved himself a dependable player. When a man was needed to fill a position in the line or backneld. Carlton could be relied upon. ARTHUR SWISHER Junior Guard First year on squad - Swisher was a substitute this year, but he was always ready to strut his stuff when he was called upon. . Swisher, being a Junior, is expected to fill one of the guard positions left by Haun or Punt. Swisher played in one game this year, but wait for the future and you will see this boy right out there. JAMES MCLEARY Senior End Third year on squad Jimmy was a splendid end. He could receive passes and get his man as well as the other fellow. Jim showed what he could do in the Wheeling game. He was a good sport and always ready to rake as much punishment as anyone could give him. Page 102
