Hero Grand Rapids, November 2 - At the end of a torrid homecoming battle with Assumption college at Houseman F i e l d today, Grand Rapids Junior college emerged with a 7-7 tie, but nevertheless maintained a moral victory, due to a sustained scoring drive in the final period. A. For the first three periods the two teams pounded back and forth at each other between the 30-yard lines, but early in the fourth period, Assumption, which was try- ing a passing game, made connec- tions on a long one that was good for 55 yards. After the Junior line had held its one-yard line for three downs, Zakem passed to Jacque for the goal, and Neinstedt kicked the point. A thoroughly a r o u s e d Junior team, taking the ball on their own 341-yard line, and led by the rush- ing of Lou Charon, pushed the ball up to the Assumption-. 24, where Charon' passed to'Kamp for 14 yards, and then scampered around left end for the touchdown: Hart L N -JK kicked the point 'that .tiedi the game. Steelemen Triumph 0ver MIAA Foes in Night Play Holland, November 8 - Finish- ing their season undefeated, Grand Rapids Junior college, for the first time in the ten-year reign of Coach Bud Hinga of Hope, defeated Hope college tonight, 10-6. After a first half that was on fairly even terms except for a Hope advance to the Junior 6, Junior, early in the second half, staged a march to the Hope 8, where a high pass from center muffed their touchdown chances. On the fourth down, however, Crell drop-kicked a field goal for the first tally of the game. K From the kickoff, Hope retaliat- ed with a drive that placed them on the Jaysee 21-yard line, from which Art Timmer raced around right end for the sole Dutch tally of the game. Junior's second score came when Hart blocked a punt that was re- covered by Kamp on the Hope seven-yard line. Charon and Crell advanced the ball to the one-foot line, from which Charon went over to score. Crell drop-kicked the extra point. U n A Steele 2 l i 1 3 Timmer I Daane Cassie
