BOB DI PIETRO and HERB FURRER Stampede Round-Up LINCOLN IQAMISSION O Boasting of a talented and well seasoned eleven, Pop Elder, Mission's gridiron coach, fielded his rugged Bears against a publicized Mustang outfit. It was easy sledding until joe Castro and Ken Whizzer White were injured. Bob Di Pietro, who was to become the Player of the Year, and Ray Stewart replaced them. Bob scored twice to raise the final score and cinch the game for Lincoln. LINCOLN 14-ST. IGNATIUS 7 The Crimson eleven had tasted victory and was once more on the march. This time they met a rougher and better equipped team. The red and blue St. Ignatian elevens gave the Mustangs a hard fight. Scoring on a sustained 60-yard drive in the second quarter the Lin- coln team gave its rooters a stab at a brief but enthusi- astic cheer. S.I. came back with the old, but still effec- tive, dead man play, resulting in a tied score of 7-7. In the third quarter, Bob Di Pietro pitched a strike, to Hal Stone for 27 yards and a touchdown. LINCOLN 24--WASHINGTON 0 The uhaplessi' Washington Eagles were snowed un- der by Bob Di Pietro and the Seven Links. Bob car- ried the ball across 3 times. The other scoring came on a plunge by Bob Woodworth from the 1-yard line. LINCOLN 35-GALILEO 0 As in the Washington game the Mustangs went into this game a heavy favorite. Within 13 minutes Bob Di Pietro had scored 4 times. His substitute, Fireball Frankie Van Houtte, tallied again on a 50-yard punt re- turn. The Lions had little to match the ability of the Seven Links. v PAGE TWENTY-TWO Mustangs Out In Front
