Page 22 SCDUID 8: FLICIK For Earlham Field Hockey, this was the year after- the year after the British. Stimulated still by the memory of last year's exhibition game with the English All-Stars, upperclassmen were every bit as enthusiastic as the boarding- school-trained freshmen. Skinned knees, black eyes, early twilight, and the coachls reminder to tackle with sticks down-all these and some neat hockey, too! Smooth stick work-the dodge, scoop, and flick, -was in eviednce at every scrimmage, and even at the Sunday with Bundy games. The Varsity romped over the Alumnae team in the brutal Homecoming Day fracas, but lost to the Miami Maulers, 4-5. Oddly enough, the juniors won the hockey crown C Alice Asahina having killed a man in the processj, and the Hockey Banquet was a grand finale to an exciting season. Back Row: Coach Bailey, B. Barker, A. Asahina, P. Guildersleeve, E. Armstrong, A. Whitson, E. Kline, Coach Weber. Front Row: A. Gingery, A. Mifflin, R. Medford, A. Wolfe, N. Hamilton, M. Taylor, N. Dewees.

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.

525 . Honaker, W. Gettinger, L. Elsbree, T. Bristoll, . Mahew, V. Cressler, W. Emmons. H. Roberts. CIQUSS CUUNTIQY Undefeated in dual competition, the Quaker Harriers were the best since 1941. Led by long- winded, long striding Vernon Cressler, the Maroon and White waltzed through two dual meets and one triangular affair without being pressed. The Quakers undoubtedly would have done much better in both the State and Hoosier Conference meets had Cressler not been forced out of competition with a bad heart. Cressler and Elsbree finished, one-two as Earlham ran away from Hanover and Canter- bury in their first meet. The Quakers scored 24 points, Hanover 46, and the Knights 50. Earl- ham dominated the Franklin meet on Home- coming day with an 18-37 victory. Cressler was again in front with Langdon Elsbree and Bill Gettinger right at his heels. Quincy Honaker finished strong to take fifth while Wayne Emmons and Tom Bristoll tied for seventh. Cressler copped first in the Indiana Central meet with the very good time of 19:14 for the 3.6 mile course, and the Quakers took the meet 24-31. The Maroon slipped to fifth in the Hoosier Conference. Bill Gertinger finished 10th to take honors for the Quakers. Honaker was 13th and Elsbree 17th. Earlham might have taken second had Cressler been able to run. Page 23
