'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
