With seven consecutive victories behind them, the Ravens traveled to Tarkio, Missouri, on November 22 for the final game of the seasong in this tilt three veter- ans made their last appearance in a Raven grid line- up, namely Maes, Wanstrath, and Beattie. Almost every member of the Black and White squad saw action in this game and with the aid of Helmert, Beattie, O'Neal, and Nolan the eighth consecutive victory, 27 to 7, was made possible. In the entire season the Ravens piled up a total of 217 points while allowing the opposition only 78 points, four games of which were whitewash victories. Perhaps a precedent was set by the Raven team March 28, 1934, when it played, upon invitation, a special spring football game at Iles Moines, Iowa, against Drake University of the Missouri Valley Con- ference. 'l'he game was a hard fought affair from the beginning, and as the Raven line was impregnable to the Drake plunges, St. Benedict's led, 7-2, until late in the final quarter when an Iowan slipped around end for a touchdown to win 8-7. The game was noted by sports writers throughout the Middle West, and several declared the Mullinsmen to be the nearest thing to a Rockne-coached team since Knute's own day. 15
