F O O T B A L L L.A.l.C. O-CUIVINOCK l8 AT C-ILIVIORE STADIUM Repeating its brilliant perform- ance of a year ago with a great deal more emphasis, the Cardinal and Cold gridsters again shellacked a heretofore potent L.A.j.C. team. The results of the game were extremely disheartening to the l.C. rooting sec- tion, inasmuch as this was the first defeat experienced by the Cubs in the entire season. The Cumnock line rendered the much-publicized running attack of the j.C. gridsters inefficient. Thompson scored the first Cumnock points in the third quarter after a sustained drive of forty yards. Anderson also tallied in the same quarter. Adding the final touch to the evening's massacre, lzzy Novack intercepted a Cub pass and ambled unmolested some thirty yards to a touchdown, increasing the score by six points and concluding the nocturnal festivities. Hodell, Phil- lips, Anderson, Thompson, and Bas- sabe played key positions well. BLACK-FOXE 7-CUMNOCK 6 AT C-ILIVIORE STADIUM Climaxing a comparatively suc- cessful season with a rousing fourth quarter rally, the Cumnock gridsters scored a last minute touchdown in their annual game with their tradi- tional rivals, the Black-Foxe cadets. The opportunity for a tie score against the strong opposition was lost by Cumnock, when the Black-Foxe quarterback, Doyle Nave, blocked the attempted conversion. Captain lVlcAndrews of the cadets scored the lO6 points for his team on a spectacular 20 yard reverse around the Cum- nock right end. Thompson, Ander- son, and Montapert combined forces and produced an eye-dazzling, hard- running, line-plunging 70 yard march to the cadet goal when the Cumnock points were scored. Captain Larry Lance, Basabe, Phillips, Thompson, lvlontapert, and Anderson closed their Cumnock football careers with magnificent performances.

F O O T B A L L A 4: S.C. FROSH ZO-CUMNOCK O AT MEMORIAL COLISEUM Playing the game preliminary to the S.C.-University of lllinois varsity tilt, the freshman team of the Uni- versity of Southern California, prob- ably the strongest one in many years, inflicted a stinging defeat to a gal- lantly contending Cumnock eleven. lncidentally, the victorious team con- tained five Cumnock alumni, a fact which contributed greatly to the win- ning freshmen's success. Orville Matthews, the Oklahoma Speedster, was the outstanding figure on the field, scoring two spectacular touch- downs, aided by the superb blocking on the part of his team mates. The battle was of special interest in point of strategy, inasmuch as both teams employed the jones system of play. Those deserving honorable mention in the Cumnock ranks were Moore, Batary, Melendez, and par- ticularly Thompson. WHITTI ER O-CUMNOCK I2 Romping on toward its second vic- tory of the season, the Cumnoclc team scored a decisive triumph of l2-O at the expense of a game but outplayed Whittier Frosh. After a scoreless first half, the Cardinal and Cold assumed the upper hand, mow- ing down the opposition in order to score two smashing touchdowns. Coach Palmer gave his regulars a well deserved rest prior to the forthcom- ing L.A.l.C. game, playing the re- AT WHITTIER serves for a large portion of the en- gagement. Although the first string scored the two touchdowns, the tal- lys were made possible to a large de- gree by the efforts of the second string players, who gained yardage consistently ancl maintained a bril- liant defence. Ford Palmer was par- ticularly pleased with the perform- ances of Vail, Spraker, Goodwin, Oravante, Bassabe, and Thompson. 107
