You've got him! September 12 CHAMPAIGN 27 PEORIA WOODRUFF 6 Surprising many people, Cl-lS's '58 football squad, under the able leadership of Captain Marc Burgess, opened their season with an impressive 27-6 victory over usually power- ful Peoria Woodruff. The Maroons combined an alert, charging defense with a good offensive running attack to crush the Warriors and halt their string of eighteen games without a loss. The first-half action was slow and evenly matched with neither team making much headway until Jack Dukes re- covered a fumble on his own 49 yard line. Nate Butler then charged into the end zone, only to be called back and penalized, a penalty which stopped the march. Two plays later, Lonnie Clark intercepted a Woodruff aerial. This was the turning point of the contest as junior quarterback Cy Vaughn then connected with rangy Dick Pace for the game's first score. Bob Butler kicked the extra point, and during the second half, placed two more through the uprights, ln the third quarter, Coach Tom Stewart's gridders pushed across two T. Dfs in a short two minutes. Both of these scores were turned in by the fine runni-ng of halfback Bob Butler. The final CHS tally came on the brilliant 32 yard run by fullback Lonnie Clark. September 20 CHAMPAIGN 31 MOOSEHEART 0 CHS racked up its second victory of the season over Mooseheart by a 3l-O count. From the first time CHS got possession of the ball, the outcome of the game was never seriously in doubt. March- ing 66 yards in ten plays, the Maroons scared on a l4 yard pass play from Cy Vaughn to Garry Foltz. Bob Butler kicked the extra point and CHS was out in front to stay. For the second game in a row, it was iunior halfback Bob Butler who stole the offensive limelight. Bob scored one touchdown on a 33 yard dash, kicked a l7 yard field goal, and booted four extra points, The l 959 Maroon September 26 MATTOON 6 CHAMPAIGN 0 CHS dropped its first game of the season, the Big I2 opener to the Green Wave of Mattoon by a 6-0 count. The Green Wave revived a seemingly stalled drive in the last minute of play to score the game's only touchdown. With exactly one minute on the clock and fourth down and five situation, scatback Ronnie Walker of Mattoon pulled in a pass from quarterback Al Shultz and literally clawed his way to the Maroon eight yard line for a 22 yard run. On the next play, Walker carried to the five yard line only to fumble, The ball squirted into the end zone where Mattoon's Captain Gary Courtney fell on it for the touch- down, with 26 seconds left on the clock. This was Mat- toon's first victory over CHS since l944. October 3 DANVILLE SCHLARMAN 24 CHAMPAIGN 19 It was too much Willie Stinson, too much Lynn Sparks, and too many points for the Schlarman Hilltoppers as they racked up the Maroons 24-l9, Stinson scored all of the HiIltopper's points as they rallied from a l3-6 halftime deficit and scored on runs of l4 and l5 yards, and on a 30 yard pass from quarterback Lynn Sparks who completed l4 out of 25 for the night. October 9 CHAMPAIGN 'I9 SPRINGFIELD I3 With the added incentive to win as a birthday celebration far Coach Tommy Stewart, CHS built up a l9-O lead over Springfield in the first three quarters. Pace, Squirt Smith, and Phil Summers accounted for the scores. Although credited with no T.D.'s in this game, Lonnie Clark gave CHS fans one of his finest exhibitions of running. During the fourth quarter the visitors scored twice bring- ing the score to l9-l3. 31
