This was a non-conference game, and it gave them a chance to improve before their first conference game. Fulton 6 - Lyons 25 ttherej Although they werebeaten they were one of two teams to score a touchdown against Lyons. The Steamers fought hard all the Way and made Lyons work for what they got. tLyons became the conference winner laterl. Fulton 14 - DeWitt 0 therej This time they hit their stride for their first conference win. DeWitt, last year's conference champs, could not hold their ground and the Steamers handed them one of their many defeats. Fulton 13 -- Morrison 13 ftherej This being Morrison's homecoming they were trying to upset the Steamers, as the Steamers did to them last year at the Fulton homecoming. They were highly surprised, and as the game ended, both teams only equaled each other in score. Steamers Ramble On Fulton 13 - Polo 15 Qherel Despite mud, rain and the final score the Steamers led through most of the game. This was the homecoming, and even though it rained, the Steamers played a good ball game. This was a non-conference game. Fulton O - Sterling Community 7 ftherej This game was played on the Sterling field and the Steamers couldn't seem to make things work well enough to get a much need- ed seven points which the Comets had got- ten early in the game. It was a conference game and the only one in which Fulton was held scoreless. Fulton 6 -- St. Mary's 6 ftherej Once again the Steamers battled to a draw, this time the Saint Mary's of Clinton. Both teams could only go so far before the other would stop them and take over theball. In this case their home field seemed no more of an advantage to the Steamers than it did to St. Mary's. Fulton 6 - Savanna 19 Qherej This was the last game for the Seniors on the Fulton team and they all fought hard, but injuries held them back considerably. The game was played at Fulton and ended the 1949 Illowa Conference Football season with Lyons becoming champs with no de- feats. Won 1 Tied 2 - Lost 5.
