1935 Bulldog Gricisters Were Twice Victorious Two victories, seven defeats, and one tie make up the re- cord of the Bulldog gridiron warriors for the 1935 season. Starting out in great form, the Arks posted two victories over non-conference opponents, only to fluke out in their first conference tilt, dropping a 34-O game to Hutchinson. The next four weeks saw the Bulldogs losing to ElDorado, Capitol Hill, Augusta, and Pratt, respectively. It was in the next game that the Bulldogs played the best football of the entire season, pulling out a 13-13 tie with the Newton Railroaders. The Arks traveled to Newkirk and were humbled 12-7 by the Oklahomans' passing attack. In the final game of the season, the Bulldogs surprised dope- sters by holding a heavier Crusader eleven, which was picked to win by at least three touchdowns, to a lone touchdown-made in the first three minutes of play. There were thirteen boys who recieved letters on this year's football squad. Seven of these are graduating, leaving six around which to build next year's team. Those who graduate this year are Paul Quinn, Cole Daily, George Griffith, Aldo Orin, Dale Hines, Louis Abernathy, and Alfred Howard. At right end we had Paul Quinn, a lanky lad who demon- strated his pass-snagging ability in the Capitol Hill game. On the other end position was Joe Stafford who was short, but made up for his lack of height with good, hard playing. Tackle positions were held down by Cole Daily, a stalwart heavy player who started out slow and came out in the final game of the year to play his best game of the season, and George Griffith, a 225 pounder who made the going plenty tough for any enemy ball-lugger who happened to try his side of the line. At the left guard Aldo Orin filled the bill very well, break- ing through the line many times to stop opposing ball-luggers in their tracks. Other guards who lettered this year are Thomas Ashburn and Marvin Shackleford, a sophomore and a junior who played outstanding football, plugging up the center of the line very effectively thus forcing the opposing teams to resort to end runs. Five players earned letters in the backfield. They are Ken- neth Steele, Robert Wilson, Louis Abernathy, George Pitts, ani Alfred Howard. Kenneth Steele played quarterback for the first half the season after which he was shifted to halfback. He was the hardest hitter on the team and played his hardest from the opening whistle until the final gun. Robert Wilson, playing halfback, was shifted up to second team quarterback in place of Abernathy who went to first tcanx when Steele was shifted to half. Abernathy, diminutive quarter- back, was a good, steady player and a capable safety man. The remaining two backfield lettermen are George Pitts, a junior, who developed into an excellent passer and looks like a comer for next year's eleven, and Alfred Howard, a good, steady halfback who showed up well on defense, a fact which he very aptly demonstrated in the Wellington game.
