42, wa FGIITBALL Approximately thirty men answered Coach Leitzman's call for football practice last fall and along with nine lettermen who reported for duty were several members of last year's scjuad plus a small group of freshmen, Pros- pects looked good as the practice ses- sions got into full swing, although there was a decided shortage of mate- rial. With Dave Williams, injured triple threat star, watching from the side- lines, Central Normal opened the V937 football season in impressive fashion by traveling to Richmond and tying Earlham 7-7, Andrews, at left end, Captain Martin, at left tackle, Jones, left guard, Kelley, center, l-lorton, right guard, Pike, right tackle, and Roude- bush, right end, formed the starting line for the Warriors. Blanford took the signal post, Wallace, left half, Kennedy, right half, and Scott at full- back rounded out the backfield, Wal- lace's pass to Kennedy was good for Normal's only score of the game and Coach Leitzman lelt that with only two weeks practice behind them, the team had a good season in the offing, l-lorton and Kennedy were the only newcomers to join the returning nine lettermen in the starting eleven. The second game of the season took the team to Valparaiso University. Dur- ing the preceding week Kennedy was declared ineligible for conference com- petition and his valuable services were lost. Williams returned to action but an early injury forced him from the game. Eurther injuries to Roudebush, Martin and l-lorton brought out the fact more strongly that Central Nor- mal was very short on reserve mate- rial. The Uhlans ran wild all afternoon and forced the Warriors to suffer a 47-O defeat. 78- Central Normal was selected to fur- nish the opposition for Ball State's home-coming game the following Sat- urday and they did just that. Williams again watched from the sidelines as Scott was moved to fullback and Snider was placed at right half, The line charged well and Wallace personally took over the backfield duties, running, passing, and kicking like a wild man. Although neither team was able to score the first half, the Warriors more than outplayed their rivals. Shortly be- fore the first half ended Wallace was severly injured and was unable to re- turn to action, With Wallace gene, and no experienced man to take his place, the team seemed to lose its drive During the second half, Eall State pushed over four touchdowns, and while Normal threatened to store, they never did. The game ended 26-O. Oakland City came to Danville the following Saturday for the Warrior's first home game and they proved no opposition at all as the Leitzman coach- ed men rolled over them for a 43-O victory, Williams returned to the line- up once more and scored three touch- downs, Blanford toted the pigskin over for another, and Martin and Ewing each scored one. The reserves played almost an entire half of the game, holding the Oaks well in check. October 22 was home-coming on the Central Normal campus and the un- defeated and highly touted Eastern Kentucky State Teachers gridmen mov- ed in for what turned out to be a real battle. For the first time Coach Leitz- man was able to pit full strength against the opposition. Eastern Ken- tucky managed to score first and the Warriors tallied a few moments later, but failed to convert the extra point
