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

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.

IX l 1' 4 A Q MAROON POWER HOUSE l CONQUERS LOYOLANS After suffering a slight let-down for several weeks, the Cumnock foot- ball machine found the sunshine of their only day game warm enough to aid them in inflicting a crushing defeat upon the luckless Loyola Freshmen, Saturday afternoon, October 27, 25 to O. The Maroon players found little difficulty in scoring touchdowns in every quarter. Don Keller, Cumnock quarterback, scored touchdowns in the second and third quarters, while Calvin tallied in the fourth. At only one time during the game did Loyola appear dangerous. In the closing moments of the first half they threw several completed passes that gave the Cumnock rooting section a scare. Outstanding features of the game were the smart headwork of the Cumnock quarterback who out-guessed the Loyola safetymen and quick- kicked over their heads, in every instance the ball being in Loyola's terri- toryg the braininess of the quarterback in throwing passes into the Frosh's territoryg Smith's spectacular catch of Keller's pass, and the brilliant run- ning of Keller, Cumnock quarterback.
