Some familiar faces that appeared were those of Dominic Belmont, Bill Curell. Bob Van de Woestine, Chuck Denning, and Roger Orr. Coach Baldus began drilling hard for the Clarinda game. Friday the 13th came up lucky for the Toreadors as tlwey won over the Trojans to the gay tune of l3 to 6. Chuck Denning, Boones fullback, looked like a good bid for all-state in this game. Moieover, Rav Mestdagh proved that for a little guy he could take a lot of punish- ment. The whole team played a good first half. but let down a little in the last half and Clarinda scored. With the Clarinda game out of the way the Toreadors put in a rough week preparing for their first conference game with the Oska- loosa Indians. The next week the Toreadors sent the Indians to the happy hunting ground minus their scalps -after a 32 to 0 victory over the Redmcn. It is hard to mention the stars in this game because everybody played a good game. The line played a good offensive and defensive game by opening great holes on offense and by holding the Indians to very little yardage. Another Friday night came around and found the Toreadors playing the Bluejays of Perry. By the superb playing of the whole team in the first half. Boone came out on top of a 12-0 score. limit s Ili-lv 1'l111-'k '4Hl1l.lflll Y11111ly ' ' 1'11s.- In-1111i11u V111'--ll fl' Wo- The Toreadors polished their offense and saved themselves the next Week for the all-important game with Marshalltown. It was a very fine game on the part of the Toreadors except for one thing -fumbles. Although outweighed several pounds in every position, the Toreadors held the Bobcats scoreless the first halfg this was a great tribute to the alertness of the whole team on defense. The loss of Denning by an injury hurt the Boone team considerably. Thus the Toreadors lost their first game, 13-0, to Marshalltown. After this tilt, the Toreadors took to the road for their next four games. With high spirit they rebounded from their first defeat and prepared to invade the lair of the Grinnell Tigers. How- ever. in a very rough-and-tumble game marked by several penalties, the Tigers outfought the Toreadors and came out on top, 12-0. Boones offense was good spasmodically but was hurt by crucial fumbles and several injuries. The Grin- nell team took advantage of the Boone errors and capitalized to get two touchdowns. The Toreadors worked hard all week trying to re- bound from two defeats, and prepared to trample the Ramblers of Jefferson. With the line open- ing great holes and with Ray Mestdagh supplying the speed and deception. the Toreadors punched over two first-quarter touchdowns and then coast- ed to give Boone a 14-0 edge at the end of the game.
