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.

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.

Il lllll Q N For The Second Successive . . . time jeff played an undefeated team. This time it was Shortridge of Indianapolis, who had a much stronger team than they had last year when they were defeated by Jeff. These boys believed in PONX'ER . All of them were big, husky brutes and when they hit a line it stayed that way. jeff put up a good fight, however, and held them to two touchdowns. At one stage of the game, the team put on a drive of its own that was halted only on the very threshold of the Shortridge goal. In Their Sixth Game . . . of the season jefferson played Elkhart. They came out on the wrong end of a 31-6 score. This is a good showing. What! A twenty-five point beating a good show- ing? Against some other team it would not be, but it is against Elkhart, for during the past few years Elkhart has had one of the best, if not the best, teams in the state. jeff scored the first touchdown that has been scored in quite a long while against them. This was no Huke. The ball was on the Broncho's own twenty-five yard line and they decided they wanted a touchdown. Armstrong took the ball and marched right over the goal line, aided by beautiful blocking in the line. Nothing could have stopped them. Outside of this drive, Elkhart had things pretty much to themselves. jeff Continued . . . their celebration of their election to the North Central Conference. This time Leb- anon was the victim. The Broncho's offense was clicking beautifully behind the excellent blocking of the boys. They showed that they also had a good defense by stopping a Lebanon drive on the six yard line. All the members of the squad got to strut their stuff! The reserves did some good work, and this shows what we may expect from them next year. Rauch, Arm- strong, and Crowe took turns at hitting the line until they pushed it to the two yard line. Mickey Rauch took it over for a touchdown. joe Rush then kicked the Hrst successful place-kick for a point since the gay nineties. The chief Tiger tamer, Rauch, tried to beat the Tigers to the goal line from his 48 yard line but the naughty beasties piled on him on the two yard line. Then he went over the remaining interval.
