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.

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

An overwhelming pre-game favorite, the Los Angeles junior Cubs were decisively and emphatically crushed by the steam-roller Cumnock jugger- naut by a score of l2 to O that was hardly indicative of the comparative strength and ability of the two teams. Coach Palmer's cohorts opened the throttle wide and thundered over the goal for a score in the first few minutes of the game. Shortly after the kick-off the Cubs threw several complete passes. A few moments later, while attempting to pass, a Cub backfield man allowed the ball to escape his grasp after being tackled, and Ray George, alert Cumnock tackle, gathered the swineskin to his bosom and ambled some 45 yards for the final tally. During the game Cumnock rolled up 315 yards to 80 for the Cubs, and accumulated eighteen first downs against five for their opponents. Lance and Carnahan, along with the dangerous alternating back-field combination of Keller and Galvin, Thompson, and Batary played spectacular games. Scrimmage At Halt IO7
