Drake 45 - Central O In the opening game of the '38 season, the Bulldogs of Drake proved too fierce for Cen- tral's much smaller untried eleven, and won anahhreviated game, 45-0. The Dutchmen outweighed at every posi- tion, could not surge through Drake's defense for first downs, and naturally were forced to punt, only to have the power-house sweep down the field to score repeatedly. Despite the loss, Central did show the crowd how to fight gamely in the face of over- whelming odds. Every Central player is to he commended for the fight he displayed in the Drake encounter. I St. Ambrose 36 - Central O In the first conference game of the season, St. Ambrose extended their winning streak at the expense of Central's Dutchmen, 36-0. Not until the final period when Central felt its lack of reserve material were the powerful Saints able to exert their superiority. Then they filled the air with passes to score three touchdowns in short order, and make a rout of a good game. Omar Ray, Jack Davis, Cornie Van Zee, and LaVerne Barton were outstanding in the Central line, and they blocked the irst Am- brosian punt of the game.

Central 19 - Iowa Wesleyan 7 Central's Dutchmen crashed their way through Iowa VVesleyan's defense, and hound- ed into the win column with a well earned victory over the Wildcats, I9-7. Following a fifteen yard penalty on the Brst play of the game, Central staged a drive which netted them a touchdown on the next four plays. Central's second counter came in the third for the second time. A pass, Fuhr to Braley, quarter, when Ed Davis crossed the goal line, added the final marker in the last period. Wesleyan was held scoreless until the final minute when they completed a pass over the goal line to score. Grinnell 46 - Central O Following their victory over Iowa Wes- leyan, Central's grid forces tool: their worst battering of the year at the hands of Grin- nell's Pioneers, 46-0, in a non-conference fray. The superior man-power of the Scarlet and Blaclc was just too much for the already crip- pled Dutchmen, and their speedy backs gained at will. A steady stream of substitutes poured from the larger school's bench, while the tired Cen- tralites simply hung on and fought. , - 1 LAM - ii' - f 4! , A 5 ' 'Figs Q. 1 iff ll WB w i, wjjgfyijlii s r ,, ' ' GRUFMAN M i:.i iiii LESLIE, Co-Captain : l K- 7 VAN ZEE ii K i i RAY i K ' X p 1 I L71 .ll A N if Q1 ffm'-fx- in -r -f .I 'V I A 4, 'fc-fgg,,,.rp ,, , 2 cf f- er rno an ,.:',tZf ' -- JE.
