i .Tl i fi' lOO-YARD RUN BEATS IVIAROON FOOTBALLERS l l Opening the second half with a IOO-yard return of the kick-off for a touchdown, Captain Yeager of the Santa Barbara Frosh supplied the spark that turned the tide of the game after a scoreless first half. Yeager again scored for his team approximately five minutes later, receiving an 18-yard forward pass from his team mate Pollack. The same combination added the extra score with a spectacular forward pass. Throughout the first half, Cumnoc-k held the upper hand, showing superior power but lacking in punch. Don Keller and Glen Galvin were outstanding in the backfield, while Yeager of the Frosh was being bottled up. Several highlights of the game were acting Captain john Schultz's 60-yard kickoff to open the second half of the game, and Captain Yeager of the Santa Barbara squad with his stellar running and brilliant field gener- alship at all times.

IJX A i 'A CUMNOCK TACKLES AND TRAMPLES TAFT HIGH Tallying three times in the first half and once in the third quarter, the lvlaroons of Cumnock garnered an easy victory from Taft High School on the Taft field. The Cumnock second team played a large portion of the game effectively. The first quarter was asee-saw affair that finally terminated in a Cumnock touchdown. Both teams were compelled to punt frequently dur- ing the first half. With the second team playing, Cumnock tallied six digits as the result of a beautiful pass play from Don Hankey to Guy Good- win, who made a spectacular running catch. ln the third quarter Cumnock scored another touchdown but the ef- fort was nullified when a fifteen-yard holding penalty was called on Cum- noc-k. They again scored but an offside penality offset their efforts. The third attempt was successful, the scoring play being a twenty yard delayed buck over tackle. The conversion was made in the same manner. S Hensley, Spraker, Hoy, Hodel, Goodwin, and Keller were the leading Cumnock luminaries. Stevenson ls Stopped 103

ll l 1' A A URBANQCUMNOCK TIE IN RUBBER C-AME With both teams greatly hampered by a slow soggy field and a wet slippery ball, Cumnock and Urban Military Academy battled to a scoreless tie, the Maroons having slightly the upper hand. Because of rain a few days previous, the uncertain footing on the field greatly hampered attempts at open-field running. Consequently throughout the game each team pound- ed the other's line. The highlight of the game was Ezra Smith's 72-yard return of an intercepted pass to Urban's three-yard line where he was thrown out of bounds. But in spite of this break the Maroons were unable to score. john Schultz's attempt to score a field goal was nullified when the place- kick was partially blocked by an Urban linesman. Cumnock amassed the greater amount of yardage and scored six first downs to Urban's two. Bud Moore backed up the line excellently, and Lance played a fine game at end. Thompson and Smith played brilliantly in the backfield. Cumnock End Snares Pass IOS
