Only Burns' career and season marks of 21 and 15 scoring passes, respective- ly, remain unbeaten. Statistically, Reukauf's best single performances came in this year's 34-14 victory over Hobart and 46-22 loss to Union. In the contest with the States- men, he passed for five touchdowns and two con- versions to account for all the points the Continentals scored that afternoon.
