HE TEAM OPENED the season before the semester had actually started with a 13-0 win over Rose Poly. Earlham had a great deal of trouble getting an offense started against the defensive minded Engineers. The two touchdowns came on passes, one by Earlham and one by Rose. In the first quarter Thorpe Lichtenberg threw a 34 yard pass to Guy Goens for a touchdown and in the third quarter Dudley Moore inter- cepted a pass and ran 75 yards for the score. The second game, a 13-6 loss to Manchester, was the one which knocked Earlham out of the conference championship. The game was won on a break when a Spartan halfback intercepted a Quaker fumble and ran 30 yards to the end zone. Tall Bob Fowler was the hero of Earlham's 3-O win over Indiana Central on Dad's Day. After the teams had battled back and forth for better than three quarters, Bob kicked his first field goal from the 19 yard line. Indiana Central lost only one other conference game all season.

Gridiron Season L UCH as the men of Meyne would have liked to, they were unable to spoil Hanover's homecoming and lost to the conference champs, 21-13, in a bitterly-fought game. Seven of the Quaker regulars were injured during the game and were unable to play at the end, and two of the Panthers' leading players were side- lined for the season with broken ankles. Two long passes which normally would have been broken up were the key factors in the Hanover triumph. The high point of the season came at the Earlham Home- coming when the Quakers exploded to whip Anderson, 58-26. From the time Will Doty, starting his first game of the year, took the opening kickoff and went 80 yards for a touchdown, until the end of the game, it was one TD after another. During the game Doty scored three touchdowns, Fred Schlotterbeck, Curt Castel- luccio, Bill Steen, Dud Moore, Thorpe Lichtenberg, and Milt Smith all scored one each. Smith's came the first time he ever carried the ball in a game after he had been on the team for a week, and Steen's was a circus catch of a pass from Carl Hawkins. After juggling the ball across the goal line, he finally caught it on the back of his neck. ON A muddy field at Marion, the Quakers overcame Taylor's jinx and beat the Trojans, l3-6. The key play came half way through the third quarter when Cliff Dickman blocked Trojan quarterback Don Cranitz's pass in the end zone and Bill Loucks fell on the ball for a touchdown. ON A COLD day at Franklin, the Crizzlies, who hadn't won a game all season, upset the Quakers l8-6 to put Earlham into a third place tie with Taylor in the conference standings. The defeat was almost duplicated by keen rival Wilmington in the last game of the season. The powerful Wilmington Quakers intercepted a pass on the first play of the game, then went on to win, l9-6. Pictured here are: Walt Ney, Bob Meyne and l-lowie l-lelfrich. AT THE end of the season Fred Schlotterbeck and Bill Kiser, both seniors, were named the team's most valuable players and honorary captain respectively. Four Earlham players were named to the all-conference squad. George Oberle, who was bothered by injuries all year, was a choice at offensive guard, Cliff Dick- man was named as a defensive guard, Thurman Wash- ington was picked as a linebacker, and Clem Boyer, who transferred to Earlham from Canterbury after playing there, was an all-conference end.
