Nurfa' Armstrong O'Haver Vaughan Hodsden Crowe A Pleasing Crowd . . . of about 5,500 attended the Hrst meeting between the Bronchos and our pals from across the river. The Wfest Siders were all set to avenge their only defeat of the last season that was graciously handed to them by jefferson. jeff played carefully in the Hrst quarter, as the boys were discussing the best way to squash their rivals. As a result nothing of importance transpired in that period. At the start of the second quar- ter jeff started a drive which was interrupted by a West Side time out period. Armstrong did yeoman work in this drive, but the touchdown was scored on a pass to Puffy,' Andrews. Rauch then made his usual successful plunge for point. This left our pals seven points in the rear. During this time all the boys were tackling and blocking with a vengence that showed that they enjoyed it. jeff soon got the ball at the beginning of the second half, as Swank fumbled. Armstrong passed to Bill Vaughan for Hfteen yards after two running plays had Hzzled. Deeter got five, Rauch got two and then Arm- strong went over for the touchdown. Of course, Rauch plunged for the point. After this second touchdown, Bill Hohman kicked off to Swank, who was promptly hugged by a Jeffite, another got him around the neck, and someone else got him around the legs. At this Swank left the game because he could not hear the signals. Rauch intercepted an enemy pass, then a few plays later, Bob Deeter behind beautiful interference, made a nice run for the Hnal touchdown. Rauch tried to plunge but was smothered. And so Jeff gained its second successive 20-0 victory. jefferson Attended . . . a football party at Frankfort, with the Night-hawks as hosts. This was the first time that Frankfort had met the Bronchos as a member of the North Central Conference. ln spite of the cool weather and the precipitation, a crowd of Z,000, including about 500 loyal Bronchos, attended the function. After everybody had shaken hands and smiled politely, as per custom, the encounter with our old pals HJ got under way. X xA I I I Rauch Gains As Surface Blocks.

The school fathers put up bleachers for Z,000, and imagine their embarrassment when the people just kept coming in until there were 2,500 present! jeff football had never been a howling box-olhce attrac- tion and it was the biggest crowd that jeff had played before since the jeff broncho was a colt. Along with a night football, several players made their maiden appearance, Mickey Rauch made his a rousing one. He passed, kicked and ran the Tiger Cubs dizzy. He was aided in this by Bill Armstrong, who was a member of the track team last year. Bill lost none of his speed during the summer, as the Cubs found out. He put a hnishing touch on a fifty-yard drive by going six yards for a touchdown. Of course these new men were aided by the Old Reliablesn, Hohman, McCahan and Andrews, in the line and Deeter in the backfield. Jeff did not wait very long to make kittens out of the Tiger Cubs. Only five min- utes had passed when Rauch shot a beautiful pass to Andrews for a touchdown after which Mickey plunged for the point. After Armstrong made this touchdown jeff did not threaten to score until a member of the Crowe Bros., Inc., Mike by name, threw a thirty yard pass to Andrews. Puffy made a nice catch and ran for the touch- down. Kelley plunged for the point. This concluded the scoring at twenty points, much to Greencastle's relief. The athletic board was organized for the sole purpose of promot- ing athletics in the school. The board consists of nine members. The faculty members are Messrs. Webb, Masters, Taylor, McCarty and Wfills. The student members are Andrew Crowe, president, Wil- liam Hohman, vice-president, Lois -lane Gillespie, secretary-treasurer: Robert Deeter and Joe Rush, members at large. They were elected at a popular election by the student body. The board . . . for the first time in the history of jeff . . . elected the yell-leaders at a mass con- vocation. They also decided the price of admission to athletic contests. l'.: w X A. B. Masters. BS. Purdue University Physical litlufn ion Coach

Andrew s Hogan Rauch U l,0L'lL'l' Md nh Ill I K. 8-wat, M4914 The First Period . . . was very much a case of give and take fthe hall, of coursej. Then the Night-hawks woke up to their duties as the host on this occasion. One of the players, the center, in fact, thought that something ought to be done. The ball was on Frankfort's I5 yard line, the lines were braced for the kick, when the Frankfort center rose to the occasion and passed the ball ten feet over the prospective punter's head. Bill Vaughan then fell on the leather oval behind the last white stripe for the first touchdown of the evening. The stage was set for this touchdown by the following action: A drivinv offensive led b Deeter, and abl assisted b Armstron 1 and Rauch, fa Y ' I ,Y Y fw wushed the ball to the 2 ard line. At this wolnt the hosts braced and took the ball 1 Y l ,. . on downs. Punts were traded and our pals got a penalty. Ihis put the ball on the Night-hawks' 15 yard line, and then occurred the aforementioned action. The line was playing alert ball, and one of the linemen recovered a fumble in midfield. Then behind almost perfect interference, Bob Deeter made a dash of 47 yards for the final touchdown. In a last minute rush, Frankfort found lateral passes very effective, and pushed to the jeff six yard line. At this point a pass failed, and jeff won their third straight encounter, I2-0. After Wfinning Three Games . . . the jeffs met a Tartar in Crawfordsville. The game was very even 1 throughout. One team would start to make a drive, and then they would be suddenly halted. Crawfordsville had a back, Malaska, that had had a lot of publicity. He did not do very much to live up to these advance notices until in the closing minutes of play, when he broke through for a I5 yard run and the only touchdown of the game. After this there was the usual frantic passing, but it did not get anv place. And so jeff went down in defeat, for the first time of the season, by a score 6-0.
