INDIANS MUBILIZE SHUEH THUUPS PUR EAMPAIGN ACTION IN THE THANKSGIVING DAY GAME fThe Inquiring Reporter views Central-Benton game.J The Indians started off the 1941 season with only seven lettermen gladiators re- turning. The returning lettermen were Groff Collett, Co-Captain and fullback, Norman Trenton, blocking back, and Bus Entsminger, left half, and Co-Captain. While on the line they had Harry Anthony and Bob Boleski, guards, Frank Crooks, center, and Art Hemphill, end. The Indians started practice on September 1, with nearly 100 boys reporting for practice which constituted one of the largest turnouts in the Indians' history. The In- dians opened three weeks later with the strong Trenton Bulldogs in a 90-degree tem- perature and what seemed like an off day. The result was a severe 35 to 19 cannonading in favor of the Bulldogs. Following this the team had a two-week layoff before journeying to Springfield on October 12. The Indians traveled to Springfield and were nosed out 6 to 0 in a thrilling game which saw the strong Central line hold for six straight downs before their oppon- ents finally scored. On October 18, in an evening game at Lafayette the Indians and the Irish fought to a duelling 0 to 0 game. An intercepted pass late in the fourth quarter cost the Indians the ball game. At this point with three games played and not a victory in sight the Indians re- solved not to shave until a game was won. With the Indians sprouting beard growths, they defeated the strong Haskell Indians, 19 to 6 handily. Entsminger was outstanding and scored two long touchdowns behind some beautiful blocking. Incidentally this vic- tory started the Indians off on a winning season. In their second intra-city tilt the Christian Brothers Eagles were defeated, 12 to 7, for the Indians second straight victory and their first intra-city victory. '. In the last quarter the Indians marched 60 yards to score the winning touch- ' X down on an off tackle thrust with Entsminger carrying the ball. 3 J With these victories safely tucked under their belt the smooth shaven Indians began to gird themselves for their coming battle with the Wm. Crisman team, a capacity crowd of 2,500 was present. Page 30
