Football Ontario vs. Adrian The Ontario game was featured by good line play by the Antelopes for an early season game. Ontario boasting a team of veterans, was pre game favorite, but their team lacked in this game the polish that brought them their second consecutive Snake River Valley League flag. In the opening half neither team showed to advantage offensively, but early in the third period Glaves, Tiger fullback, intercepted one of Mitchell's passes and scampered 35 yards to score. Ontario failed to convert, and the score was 6-0. In the final quarter Adrian's offense began to click and a variety of off tackle bucks and short passes netted three first downs. With the ball on the thirty-yard line, Mitchell shot a pass to Brewer on the ten, and Brewer ran untouched to score. Prosser converted with a perfect placement. Score 7-6, and there it remained. Vale vs. Adrian In the second conference game, the Antelopes met Vale's powerful Vikings. Outweighed but not out- fought, our line did yoeman duty against Vale's seasoned club. The Vikings scored one touchdown in one, two quarters and two touchdowns in the fourth. Conversions were made following each touchdown. Final score, 28-0. The work of Hammock, Fisk, and Irwin was outstanding for Vale, while every Antelope turned in a good game. Crocker and Piercy were outstanding in the line for Adrian. Jamboree With two games under their belts, the Antelope gridsters entered the Snake River Valley Jamboree at Ontario. In the drawing Adrian drew Ontario, and in the ensuing ten minutes of play the Tigers dented the Antelope goal and converted to win 7-0. A series of passes completed in the waning seconds placed Adrian in scoring territory, but an interception nulliied the threat. Brewer and Piercy played stellar defensive ball. Weiser vs. Adrian Weiser came to Adrian on October 6 with a hard charging, aggressive squad. Though outweighed, the Antelopes made a hotly contested game, but superior speed and weight paid dividends for the Wolver- ines. Two touchdowns and a conversion were notched up in the second half to give Weiser the game 13-0. Nyssa vs. Adrian In the final game of the season the Antelopes traveled to Nyssa. Adrian ripped the Bulldog line to shreds during the first half, and played practically the entire half in Nyssa territory. In the closing seconds of this period a pass, Mitchell to Brewer, clicked for a score. Try for extra point failed. In the second half the Antelopes found stiffer opposition from the Nyssa line. Intent on increasing their lead, they passed fre- quently. Late in the final quarter a Nyssa back intercepted a flat pass and raced 30 yards to score. A suc- cessful conversion gave Nyssa the ball game, 7-6. Nyssa narrowly missed scoring a second touchdown on a pass interception in the final seconds of the game. The entire Antelope line played good ball, with Davis doing outstanding work.
