4 ,igfgf flll ' 1 Il t' '33, !::.i ' 1i ,, Sli f lil if Q 0 N On October 21st, before the largest home-coming crowd ever assembled for a Central Normal football contest, the Warriors took the field against Rose Poly's engineers. When the dust had cleared away Central Normal had 38 points and Rose Poly 6, six more points than any team had taken away from C. N. C. for two years. Indiana Central was next on the schedule, and in spite of their very best efforts and numerous substitutions went home on the short end of a 32-0 score. A cold windy day greeted Central Normal and Oakland City when they met on November 4th for their annual football contest. The Oaks were primed for the game. However, after spending a great deal of time thawing out, the Purple managed to squeeze through to a 13-7 victory. On'November 12th with perfect football weather the Warriors went to Greencastle to end the- football season of 1927 with DePauw University. The game opened with the Old Gold and Purple about even in every way. However, DePauw showed a little better defense in the first half than Cen- tral Normal and scored one touchdown, while holding Central Normal score- less. During the last half after DePauw had brought the score to 13-0, Bratton scored two touchdowns and Captain Franklin added the extra point to each one, making the score 14-13 in favor of the Purple. Near theend of the game DePauw tried desperately to score by the aerial route and on a pass which Darnell intercepted, the oiiicials ruled that Captain Franliln had interferred with Captain Anderson to whom the pass had been directed. On the next play Brandenburg scored a touchdown for DePauw, making the score 19-14 in favor of DePauw. - Eighty Q' . ' ' Altl they fou Wabash In c Normal twenty 1 In .

CAPTAIN FRANCIS C. N. C. 32, Muncie Normal 22 Taking the floor with blood in their eyes, the Danville Warriors avenged two previous defeats at the hands of the Cardinals by a margin of ten points. C. N. C. 41, Franklin College 48 Being well primed for the game the Franklin players made known their ability, Combs of Franklin and Ginger Reeves of Danville had a private scoring party, Ginger winning 25-24. .mill- Captaim Janis Francis, Honk, as he is known to the students and local followers of basket ball, was captain of the team this winter and proved a very valuable leader to the quintet. During the games he had three or four freshmen to guide all the time and the results of the season would indicate that he was successful. , I-lonk came to Central Normal five years ago from Avon, reputed to be ' a basket ball man of much ability. He played with C. N. C. a year and then 1 decided independent basket ball would look well in his biography g so he played if a year with the Indianapolis Presto-Lite team. He came back to school the next year and completed his four years of varsity competition this spring. J., ' While Honk was usually listed on the score sheet as a forward it was 659 HIE.. the usual custom to see him assigned to the heavy scorer on the opposing ff' UU, team. He was always a sure shot at the basket, but his defensive ability ' H ' was very outstanding, due more or less to his speed and accurate thinking. Ill ml- The loss of Francis will be greatly regretted, but the efforts which he l will give to high school coaching will soon be apparent here, since he will be 5 expected to send C. N. C. some of his men to hel kee the k 'n he I K p p wor goi g wg W9 has so well helped to start.
