1948 FCDTIBALL The 1948 gridiron edition of the Fighting Quakers hit a low for a Huntsman-coached eleven, dropping all eight contests and failing to score in six of the games. In an era of sup- posed excess football talent, and the year that Michigan and Notre Dame walked off with national honors while carrying nine full teams of all-Americans, Earlham was unable to field a single offensive star, only to find them in a- bundance on nearly every opposing squad. Starting his 14th and last year at the helm of a Quaker team, Coach Huntsman found his green eleven over-matched at the start as Jim Macholtz and his playmates from Anderson romped to a 35-O Hoosier Conference win. Only a stout-hearted defense, by an out weighed and outmanned team, kept the Raven star from running wild. The Maroon had hardly recovered when Back Row: D. Stevenson, W. Fowler, C. Bostick, J. jones, E. Lee, R. Paulin, D. Brown, John Fowler, W. Pontius, G. Pontius, J. Sauffer, jim Fowler. Second Row: T. Lichtenberg, J. Huntsman, M. Mills, J. jenkinson, O. Mannies, R. Ladd, G. Mills, C. Frantz, J. Beiser, J. Adams, IW. Green. Front Row: P. Furnas, N. Brandley, G. Oberle, A. Reeves, V. Porter, P. Jenkins, L. Lindley, H. Mills. ,, .5-'sf nmf'-fhig. ta. in Page 19

wXerS es, 2 YO Maxis, Mmm Hanover's Panthers, the nation's leading offen- sive team, mauled Earlham to the tune of 55-O. With Paulin, Lindley, johnny Fowler and a half dozen others injured in the discouraging fracas at Madison, the taped and bandaged Quakers bowed to Wilmington 20-0. Led by the passing Page 20 Romance ................ Fall of Huntsman and jim Fowler and the running of junior Mannies, and sparked by Charlie Frantz's two interceptions, Earlham four times drove within the Green and White's 10 yard stripe but lacked the punch to drive across.
