FOOTBALL ALTHOUGH the Eagles were not successful in winning a large number of Football games this year, much credit goes to the tour pilots shown below, for their unfailing enthusiasm and energy in shaping together our team. To Coach Clingenpeel belongs the honor of having coached 6 team strong in the principles of sportsmanship and clean Fighting. His able assistant, Coach Kline, is responsible For the bucking, Fighting line. He fulfilled well his job of training the Hunsung heroes. Unable to decide between two outstanding Seniors, the members of the football squad chose Jack Oliver and George Smith to be the Co-Captains. The major portion of the responsibility fell to Jack after the injury received by George during the Rockhurst-Central game. Much credit also goes to these captains For a season of Fine games, despite the many losses. Kemper 12-Central 0 Opening the bill, the Eagles played the Kemper Yellowjackets For the First time in ten years on the Davis Field. Their team, supported by the Cadets who came over en masse, proved to be not only a thorn, but a sting in the Eagle Flesh. The outstanding play of the game was made when Bivins of Kemper, received the Eagle kickoH at the First of the second half and ran 82 yards for a touchdown. Clingenpeel Oliver Smith Kline Page 19

' Warrensburg 20-Central 7 Playing their First night game under the big lights of the Warrensburg stadium, the Eagles were again downed, but showed remarkable improvement, there being fewer fumbles and more coordination. Co-Capt. Smith carried the ball over For Centralhs only touchdown, with the extra point coming from the educated toe of Ricketts. Crocker and Smith provided the running and kicking power For the Eagle eleven. Maryville 20-Central 0 The last of the non-conterence games was played October 9, when the Eagles lost to Maryville. The Eagle line held time after time, but they seemed unable to create any eHective interference against the superior passing attack of the second half. Despite the muddy Field, Crocker made a good punting average, and skirted the ends many times For large Central gains.
