The next game scheduled was at NVinterset, September 29, l934, a night game. After a hard-fought battle the Railsplitters brought home the bacon with the final score of 6 to 0. On the night of October 6, l934, Lincoln met North High in Drake stadium for the start of the city series races. The smaller Lynx team stavcd off their heavier opponents for two grueling quarters but the weight and power of North finally proved superior and the game ended with Lincoln on the short end of the Z5-0 count. Lincoln's second city series clash was with Roosevelt in a night game on Drake's field on October IZ, W3-I. Lincoln wore itself out in the first half and again weakened in the last two frames, consequently losing the contest I4 to tl. A second open date followed, after which Lincoln and liast battled it out in Drake stadium on the evening of October 26, l934. Once more, superior weight and power proved supreme, and the eighth Railsplitter lost the battle by a score of I9 to 0. The next week Lincoln traveled to Newton and because of the muddy gridiron and a streak of ill luck, dropped that game 12 to 6. The Railsplitters, not in very good humor after that string of defeats, and seeking revenge for the year before, visited Valley junction High on the suburban field and came from behind to win the closing game of the season I3 to 6.
