Each fall at Carroll is marked by the arrival of several score of the top high school athletes from across the breadth of four or five states. A call is soon issued and those among them who are football players turn out, are issued suits, and are soon welded from a group of individuals, none of whom has played the system with which any of the other members of the squad are familiar, into a tightly knit, defensively minded unit that serves, in a few short praCtice sessions, to give the varsity players all the opposition they desire. This years yearling squad, one of the smallest in number for many seasons, was still one of the best. In addition to throwing back everything the varsity sent their way, they played two games themselves, winning one and losing one. An early season journey to Beloit, before they had completely crystallized into a team, saw them drop a hard-fought 14-0 battle to the Bucs. A few weeks later, however, they decisively downed the Lawrence yearlings by a 12 to 7 score in a game that was played at Waukesha. Among the standouts of the team were Trueman Treleven and Stan Jones, in the backfield, with Dick Bell a strong contender, and Chuck Benishek, A1 Dobbeck and Lee Schaefer, in the line.

Graduation of twenty-two seniors and losses to the armed services of one or two others who were counted on to fill spots on the football scene forced the Orange and White into a position where it was compelled to rely to quite a large extent on untested sophomores to fill key spots on both offense and defensive platoons. Tiny mental slips, defensive lapses, a missed assignment here and there, these all combined to leave the Pioneers with one of their poorest records in many years. Opening with the traditional encounter against the Lawrence College Vikings the Pioneers soundly outplayed their blue-shirted rivals from the north statistically, and yet, found themselves on the short end of a 19 to 6 score when the final whistle blew. Sophomore Emil Pontow, highly-touted halfback, broke into the scoring col- umn late in the final quarter when he scampered twelve yards around left end for the only Carroll TD. In one of the most thrilling battles seen in state college circles for many years, the Pioneers dropped their second game to Hope College of Holland, Michigan, by a score of 37 to 26. Three touchdowns were scored before the customers were hardly in their seats and five by the end of the first quarter. In a muddy, rough game, the third defeat of the season came at the hands of tiny Parsons College, from Fairfield, Iowa. The game was played at night and because of the mud the players were hardly recognizable after the first five minutes. Halfback Phil DelPierre of the visitors scored twice to account for the 13 to 0 win. Homecoming brought the Bucs of Beloit to the Waukesha campus. Pegged by many as the top team in the state, the Bucs had too much for the Pioneers and coasted to an easy 21 to 6 triumph. The first of four road games found the Orange visiting Naperville, Illinois to meet the North Central Cardinals.
