Questionable decisions aided in the defeat. Mike Pope, Cardinal quarterback, had a field day against the Pioneers as he passed them dizzy. Quarterback Pete Dellios sneaked over center for the only Cat- roll score. The final score was 21 to 6. In Mount Vernon, Iowa, in what was the best de- fensive exhibition of the year, Cornell College eked out a 6 to 0 win over the McCormickmen. Two touchdowns hung up by the Orange were called back because of rule infractions. On one of the coldest days of the season Carroll journeyed to Milwaukee to bump heads with the high-flying Gulls of Milwaukee State Teachers. The injury-tidden Pioneers could not cope with the hard-tunning of Teacher fullback Artie Derk- sen, and yielded by a score of 20 t0 6. Boomer Norcross blasted over from the three yard line for the Carroll counter. In what was their best performance of the season the McCormickmen wound up their season with a 27 to 12 loss to Ripon's Redmen, Midwest confer- ence champions. Page Seventy-five

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.
