world, there is known such a thing as breaks. The f1rst break came as a result of a fumble by one of the Beckley players and was scooped up by a Bucknell- ian who carried it over the last chalk-line. This disheartened the team a bit and for the first time during the season they lost that great asset to their football success - fight, They did stage a comeback in the last quarter and when nearing the goal-line lost the ball again on a fumble. The final game of the season was played at Bellefonte with Bellefonte Academy as the opposition. Everything was against the possibility of Beckley scoring a vic- tory on this once world championship eleven, in Preparatory ranks, as they had beaten Bucknell and other college elevens in the early part of the season. But Beck- ley entered the' game with the same old fighting spirit and with the motto before them- A team is not beaten until the final whistle blows. Beckley scored on Bellefonte which was more than many bigger aggregations had done previously, but Bellefonte's trick plays proved a little too much for Coach Snell's cohorts and they were defeated 21-7. The season of '28 was, however, one of the most successful seasons in the history of Beckley College. ' ' ' . ' .mwah .J'E,.1fi I-:xl 255 Ia--
