'IX It A ll. CADET'S LAST MINUTE PASS RESULTS IN TIE Although they displayed a superior offense throughout, the Maroon gridders of Cumnock were unable to produce anything better than a 6 to 6 tie in their so-called rubber-game with Black-Foxe Military Academy. After being on the short end of a 6 to O score for four quarters, the Cadets, aided and abetted by the strong right arm of Cadet Carl Wilson and the pass-receiving ability of Captain Cummings, tallied a touchdown in the closing minutes of the game, tying the score. The pass, the longest thrown by any of Cumnocks' opponents, sailed through the air for 68 yards. Cum- mings caught it and stumbled over the goal line. The Maroon players scored in the third quarter on eight plays, the first of which started on the Cadet 40-yard line. Outstanding players were Calvin, Thompson, Batary, and Smith in the Cumnock backfield. Ray George and Larry Lance played excellently. Hick- erson, Cadet fullback, was the shining player for Black-Foxe. Backtield In Motion IO8

it 1.14 A curvnmocx 1uccERNAuT sTEAM-Roi.Ls L.A.1.c. 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

MENLO PORKHIDERS TAN MAROONS' HIDE The first intersectional game between Cumnock and Menlo junior Col- lege from San Mateo resulted in a clear-cut l4 to 6 victory for the Menlo squad, who displayed an excellent brand of football for four thrilling quarters. Menlo scored early in the first quarter by virtue of a blocked kick which Fisher, Cumnock guard, recovered behind his own goal line, resulting in 2 points for Menlo. Cumnock, with Don Keller supplying the spark, drove 46 yards in l2 plays, and aided by a I5 yard penalty, crossed the Menlo goal line, Calvin scoring. Menlo scored in the 3rd quarter with Brigham carrying the ball. He also scored again in the 4th quarter. jack Brigham was the player who spelled the difference between vic- tory and defeat for the Menlo team, his line plunging playing havoc with the Maroon line. For the Maroons, Don Keller played one of the finest games of his career, matching Brigham's superb playing. Tackle Nears Completion lO9
