Playing with that do or die spirit, our boys just wouldn't give ground. Centrl's lone marker was chalked up in the second quarter as a result of a blocked kick by Omar Ray, which L. V. Barton eagerly pounced on just over the goal line. Central outfought Penn throughout the game, playing almost entirely in Quaker ter- ritory. This gave Central their second con- ference victory. Parsons l2 - Central 7 In the season's final, Parson's Wildcats were saved from defeat by the final gung after trailing by two touchdowns for three quarters the Dutchmen found themselves and played the football of which they were really capable. Central's line held for downs deep in enemy territory and then blocked the lciclcg tackle Van Zee fell on the ball in the end zone for a touchdown. As the game ended, the embattled Dutch traveled half the length of the field on two passes, and might have easily pulled the game out of the fire had time permitted. Q ,f 1 , t h , if YQ.,

Luther 19 - Central 12 After throwing a scare into Luther's highly touted Norsemen, Central's Dutchmen drop- ped a heartbrealcer, 19-12. Trailing at half time, 7-0, the Crimson lads came back with a rush. Diclc Rittel pilfered an enemy aerial heave on his 20 yard stripe and sprinted the remaining. 80 to score. A moment later a pass to Braley in the end zone gave Central the lead 12-7, and the crowd couldn't believe its eyes. The same old story, lack of reserves, gave Luther the victory in the final quartet. Simpson 14 - Central 2 Central's Homecoming was slightly marred, when the Dutchman lost to the Redmen of Simpson, 14-Z. Central outgained, outran, and outpassed Simpson, in fact, everything but out- scored them. Simpson's first touchdown, a long run af- ter an intercepted pass, was disputedg and the game was held up for thirty minutes. Simpson won the decision and the touchdown. - Central displayed a strong passing attack, probably as good as any in the conference, but Simpsorfs two goal line stands in the last quarter were to be long remembered by the Simpsonians. li 5 .

Ammerman, Queen Top: Vanderpol, Shawver. Ammerrnan, Dr. Lubbers, Van Corp Ulferts Bottom: Vanderpol, Shawver, Van Corp, Ulferts THE WEATHER-MAN warned us, but we hoped he'd be wrong. Anyway it was too late to change the Homecoming date. And besides it was only the water that fell. Neither :fires nor Hoods can make the spirits of Centralites fall. The rain succeeded only in speeding the arrival of alumni. fThey feared the taxi-cabs would make inadequate Venetian gondolasj Meetings of the literary societies opened the Homecoming activities. Then the crowd, booted and umbrella-ed, waded to the gym. Under the clever management of Sophia Heer- en, the coronation of the queen had been planned as an out-of-door event, but the cere- mony was none the less impressive because of its hasty removal to the gym. After a Grand Marcli to the strains of Schubert's Ballet Music, Carolyn Ammerman, with her attendants, Helen Vander Pol, Billie Shawver, Hazel Ulferts, and Virginia Van Gorp, mounted a low platform at the end of the room. There, before a host of students, faculty, alumni, and friends, Carolyn, the choice of the student body, was crowned by President Lubbers as I-Iomecoming Queen. After Demosthenian selections by those aces of wit. Schakel, Smith, and Schilder QAL-iel, the bread-line formed for punch and doughnuts, the dole supplied by the Student Council.
