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.

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

A speedy Wabash eleven took advantage of a lack of Quaker scoring punch while crossing the double stripe six times for a 33-0 triumph. Not until the Homecoming battle with Frank- lin did the Quakers give even a hint of victory. Holding the Grizzlies at bay, the Maroon drove to Franklin's two late in the second quarter, only to lose the ball on a fumble. The Quakers never threatened again and their fighting for- ward wall led by the driving play of seniors Dick Paulin and jerry Mills stopped the visitors for 27 minutes of the last half, only to have a fourth down desperation pass from Kehoe to Marston in the end zone eliminate even the sat- isfaction of a tie. Earlham punched over its first and second touchdowns of the season at Rose Poly on passes from Huntsman to Lindley, but the En- gineers won their own Homecomingitilt 20-12. The Quakers added their last two touchdowns of the season against Hamilton of New York on passes from Huntsman to freshmen George Oberle and Walt Green but the visitors scored firstest and mostest for a 19-12 victory. The last game was a nightmare of rain, hail, snow, sleet and Gator touchdowns as the Quakers ab- sorbed a 40-0 drubbing on the Allegheny field. Only Captain Dick Paulin was good en- ough to snare even an honorable mention on the All Hoosier conference team. A precedent of long standing was broken when both jerry Mills and Dick Paulin were awarded E blankets after the vote for the most valuable senior ended in a tie.
