FOOTBALL The Cardinal gridiron attracted considerable at- tention this season from players and spectators alike. A fine squad of yearlings practiced daily with the veterans, an enthusiastic student body wit- nessed the games, most of which were played in ideal weather. Everyone admired the spirit Captain Donald Paxson displayed in his own right and suc- ceeded in arousing in his teammates. The season opened at Excelsior Springs. Because the Cardinals lacked experience and a pass defense, they lost to Excelsior, 7-0. Capt. Paxson and Floyd Beno made the best showing. September 17. The first home game was with C, B. H. S. and was again a defeat, 6-0, although the boys staged a real tussle. Burnett, McComb, and Thomsen fur- nished great power behind the line. September 26. The North Kansas City game was a different story. Capt. Paxson caught the ball on the opening kick- off and advanced it from his own ten-yard line through the entire field for a touchdown. George Otten kicked the extra pointy then scored a second touchdown and kicked the point in the fourth quar- ter. Final score: Benton, l4g North K. C., 0.' Bos- well, Willeman, Dryden, and McComb did outstand- ing work. October 2. The return game with C. B. H. S., played on the Eagles' field was a scoreless tie, but showed good going for a team doped to lose. Olmsted displayed promise in his ability to snag passes and to take out his man. October 17. St. Ioseph Central, playing on its own field, had little trouble in taking a 20-0 victory from the Ben- ton boys. The home team was clearly outplayed, Reno and Burnett did good work. October 24. The visiting Maryville Spoofhounds were defeated 13-0 when the Cardinals' line held like a stone wall against the upstaters' attacks. Capt. Paxson ran Bl yards for a goal and made the extra point. Linden- smith, Walpole, McCamy, Iames, and Shipman, showing real' power, contributed greatly to the vic- tory. October 30.
