Again, Hunton started his shock troops, but they were unable to score, so that the first team was rushed into the fray. Kearns, breaking away for thirty-five yards made the first touchdown, in the latter part of the second quarter. Scaler and Koch each netted a touchdown in the last quarter, to make the final score, eighteen to nothing. NORTH CENTRAL The following week, an irresistible Blue and White machine ground out a twenty-three to nothing victory over the North Central Indians. Great jubilation marked the victory, as it was the first time since 1925, that a Gonzaga grid team had managed to conquer the Indians. Johnny Kearns made a number of long dashes to keep the hatchet wielders in trouble all while he was in the game. He accounted for two of the touchdowns, while Koch made the third. North Central, completely outclassed in the first two periods, came back a little stronger in the second half. The fact that the entire Gonzaga line. played fast, hard ball, and that the Bull- pup interference was excellent, kept the Indians from scoring. HILLYARD Displaying a varied passing and running attack, Gonzaga high won the city championship by defeating Hillyard, twenty-five to nothing, on November the fifteenth. In the third quarter, Cain, Gonzaga tackle, blocked the Hillyard kick, Gonzaga taking the ball on the ten-yard line. Three bucks failed and Koch passed to' Kearns for a touchdown. In the last period, Metrovitch, standing on his own five-yard line, passed twenty-five yards to Molitor, who ran fifty-ive yards to score. The final counter came on another pass, Metrovich to Kearns, from I-Iillyard's fifteen-yard mark. Cain, Flaherty, and Day looked good on iiefense, with Koch, Metrovitch, and Kearns sharing honors in the backfield, Figures: G. H. S. Opponents 15 9 0 l57l

Johnny Kearns, shifty halfback, paved the way for Gonzaga's tallies by three long runs. Kearns scored twice and Seale bucked over the line for a third touchdown. BELLARMINE At Tacoma, on the following Friday, the Bullpups played straight football to overpower the stubborn Bellarmine eleven, twenty-seven to nothing, Seale carried the ball over in the first quarter: then, Cain, after blocking a kick, fell over the line for the second score. After a series of plunges, Seale and Kearns each scored a touchdown in the last quarter. ENDICOTT Although handicapped by the loss of Kearns and Captain Flaherty, because of injuries, the Gonzagans eked out a seven to nothing victory over Endicott. Ray Molitor, end, intercepting a forward pass, dashed sixty yards for a touchdown, to furnish the margin of victory. Another scoring opportunity was lost by a fumble, on the one foot line. Metrovitch and Seale, in the backfield, together with Cain, Molitor, and B. Codd, on the line, performed well. LEWIS AND CLARK Opening the city series on October ninth, Gonzaga invaded the south side lair, to leave a bat- tered and clawed Tiger with a stinging seven to nothing defeat. Koch scored for Gonzaga in the first quarter after Cain had blocked a Tiger punt on the five- yard marker. The try for point, though low, was awarded on an off-kide penalty, Lewis and Clark unleashed a vicious attack in the fourth quarter, but in vain. Doric, of Lewis and Clark, carried the ball to the seven-ya'rd.line, only to end the scoring threat through a fumble. Since both forward walls played good football, neither team was able to gain consistently through the line, Kearns' ability to sweep the ends gave Gonzaga the advantage. l56l

This year's quintet moulded from a squad with little previous experience, developed into a smoothly working, fast-breaking aggregation, These casaba tossers won thirteen out of twenty-one games, enjoying many fine trips, and engaging Wilbur, Wallace, Mullan, Sandpoint, Palouse, and Coeur d'Alene, on their home floors, Too much credit cannot be given to Coach Carl Kligel, who labored hard to teach the squad of rookies the difficult art of hemp-splitting, and to turn out a representative team of which the school is justly proud. Letter awards were received by Albi, Feulner, Flaherty, and Metrovich, seniors: Devlin, Mc- Donald, Reilly, Seale, and Thorpe, juniors, also received awards, and will form the nucleus of a strong team for the coming year.
