CROWN POINT INKLINGS 25 made one. Out of a possible sever | passes. Crown Point completed four while Griffith tried four and com¬ pleted none. Crown Point outplay- j ed their opponents at every stage of the game and won easily by a score of 31 to 0. Crown Point 18—Lowell 0. —Yes, Lowell has a line that | averages about 190 pounds. They have a fast back field, and they have every man of last year ' s squad, but one; but, on the other hand, i was regular fish night, and Church and his men were hungry. When the Red Devils came out and paced up and down the field everyone shook his head. “That is a power¬ ful crew,” people said, little dream¬ ing that the fast eleven from the north would white wash them. Lowell made four first downs, Crown Point two; Lowell was pen¬ alized twenty yards. Crown Point forty. Final score Crown Point 18. Lowell 0, which leaves the Crown Point boys unbeaten and unscored upon. H. S. Loses To Catholic Central Register: The high school team’s record on the gridiron was shattered last Sat¬ urday when the Catholic Central team of Hammond trimmed the locals 13 to 0 in the game at Cen¬ tral’s field. Central had a driving team that gained yardage at will. With the exception of one or two, Crown Point’s punts were not up to their standard. Central had a heavier line and a charging back- field that really went places. Crown Point intercepted several passes but. could not open holes in the line like Central, and their gains around end were difficult. C. P. H. S. Loses to Valparaiso Register: Crown Point High School lost a hard fought game to the Valoara ' v team last Saturday afternoon, with a final score of 25 to 6. Although Valoo outplayed th r locals a good share of the time Crown Point gained seventy-ciglv yards from scrimmage, completed two passes out of four for seventy yards, and scored one touchdown Valpo gained one hundred eight yards from scrimmage, completed two passes out of four for thirty yards, and scored four touchdowns and one point after touchdown. Rensselaer Defeats C. P. H. S. Star: Coach Church’s team was defeat¬ ed by the Rensselaer High School football team at Dunlap field in that city last Saturday afternoon by a score of 20 to 6. “The game was not five minutes old , says the Jasper County Democrat, “untii Rensselaer had scored a touchdown against the Crown Point boys.” Crown Point gained forty-two yards from scrimmage. Rensselaer gained one hundred ten yards. Crown Point made seven first downs while Rensselaer made ten. Crown Point completed five out of four¬ teen passes, Rensselaer completed three out of five. Crown Point gained ninety yards on passes, Rensselaer, one hundred twenty- five yards. C. P. H. S. Loses to Hammond Clarks Star: A George Rogers Clark half back and quarter back combination last Wednesday evening produced a | scoring punch that defeated Crown Point High School on Hammond s | lighted field by a score of 12 to 0. Brenkus, u dash man on the Clark track team, ran wild with the oval on a dozen attempts; but he was unable to score until the last quar¬ ter. Horst, Weinberg, and Wilson, halfbacks and Louis and Christman ends, flung passes all over the field throughout the game for the losers completing 7 out of 12, but were unable to click with their heaves at the critical moment. South Enders Retaliate For Early Season Beating. Star: In a one sided football game—so one sided that Coach Church’s high school lads failed to get over the goal line—the Lowell Highs “romp¬ ed” away with the game at St. Mary’s Field last Friday. The score was 19 to 0, the Lowell aggregation scoring touchdowns in the first, second, and fourth quar¬ ters. A summary of the game discloses that Lowell gained one hundred seventy yards from scrimmage to Crown Point’s sixty yards. Crown Point had four first down and Low¬ ell had fourteen. Lowell complet ed one out of seven passes and Crown Point completed two out of fifteen. Lowell gained five yards on passes. Crown Point eighty-nine yards. C. P. H. S. Underclassmen Defeat Tolleston Star: A football team made up of Crown Point High School under¬ classmen defeated Tolleston 12 to ? last Thursday afternoon at St. Mary’s field. One of the touch¬ downs was made by a pass and a line plunge by Sykora, a freshman who played fullback. The other touchdown was made by Seramur who caught a pass and ran twenty yards for a touchdown. Tolleston s two points were made after Crown Point had held their opponents for four touchdowns on the half yard line. Thus endeth the grand and glor¬ ious game of football for the Crown Point High School Bulldogs for the season of 1934. Mrs. Kalen: “What’s real sales¬ manship?” Swanson: “Selling hair tonic to a ! bald-headed man.” Wheeler: “I thought you were on the water wagon. Bob?” Wilson: “I was, but I overcame my will power.” Mary Lou: “Are you sure this is a good boat?” Captain: “Well, its her maiden voyage.”

George Rogers Clark trimmed the varsity in the final period of the game, after trail¬ ing throughout, 21 to 17. The game was played on Friday and the next night Griffith handed the boys a defeat to the score of 25 to 20. These two defeats at the beginning of the season may mean that the boys will come through with a bang at the close. The varsity, playing in their new red and black suits, lost their first home game and their third of the season to the Goodland five. Both teams showed early season form. Crown Point led at the half 13-7, but at the end of the regular period the teams were tied at 26 all. In the overtime period, the visitors scored one field goal to win the game. The high school quint lost their game to the Froebel team last Fri¬ day by a score of 26 to 20. The Froebel defense was too tight for the Crown Point team to break through, but the game was good experience for the local team and their score shows that they put up a good battle for an early season game.
