7 Armstrong Decided lt . . . was his turn so he went over from the 19 yard line. Lebanon thought it was an end run but it was an off-tackle play hence the aforementioned result. Rush, who had replaced Surface in the line, intercepted a Lebanon pass in the fourth quarter. The youngest member of the Crowe Bros., Inc., Emmett, then plunged for the touch- down and the point. Hohman and McCahan played their usual good games in the line. One W'ar Closed . . . on Armistice Day, 1918, another war was opened and closed on Armistice Day, 1932. This last war was the occasion of the meeting of jeff and Wfest Side. West Side started out as if they were going to make up for their defeat at the first meeting. They put on a drive that was climaxed by a fifteen yard run for a touch- down, inside of the Hrst five minutes of play. Wfe do not know if they believe in millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute , but they certainly did have a tight defense. jeff could not do anything until in the middle of the second quarter when Mike Crowe ran thirty-tive yards to the fifteen yard line, after which it was finally put over by Mickey Rauch. joe Rush then made his customary place- kick for the extra point. Soon after the second half opened one of Abbott's punts was blocked, after which Puffy Andrews fell on the ball on the Wlest Side twenty-yard line. Rauch plunged for ten yards, Armstrong crashed center for nine yards, then Mickey plunged for the touchdown. The game went on very smoothly until the last minute of play, when jeff took the ball on their own twenty yard line. Then Mike Crowe, who had done fine work all day, decided to close the local football season with a blaze of glory. He then ran sixty yards through the entire XVest Side team for the final mark of the season. The remaining ten boys who had nothing to do but block, came through, and how they did block. Thus jefferson closed a successful season, and Mike Crowe upheld the family tradition, as the gun sounded and jeff had won Z0-6. The boys that played their last game under Coach Masters' able direction were Andrews, Armstrong, Deeter, Hodsden, Hohman, McCahan, O'Haver, Rauch, Rush, Slesser, Wfarner, Bell and Kelley.

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.

Cr me , D yang- Mt-Cahan Bogan 9 R h OA! lv ' Wafofb RWM' p fl . . ,, jefferson Launched . . . the season o b ' tball with a defeat at the hands of Lebanon. Although this game was played during the Thanksgiving season, the only thing that jeff was thankful for was that the defeat was not more decisive. jeff held them to a 9-8 lead at the half. Although McCahan consistently took the tip from XXfilliams, Lebanon pulled away from them in the second half for a 24-16 victory. The Bronchos . . . bumped up against their old rival, Frankfort, and came out on the wrong end of a 19-17 score. jeff was ahead throughout the game, until the Gnal three minutes when the jinx got busy. Bogan, Crowe, McCahan, and Rauch pooled their efforts and jeff led at the half, 10-7. The game went on very spiritedly, until with three minutes to play and with jeff ahead 17-15, Larrick got a sleeper shot to tie the score. Ker- shaw then shot the winning basket. jeff's Next Encounter . . . was with the strong Kokomo team. jeff held the score down during the first half half. While their wide-awake defense held Kokomo to 14 points, they made 11 points of their own. jeff rallied to within 2 points of Kokomo in the third period, 22-20, but the Tigers again pulled away to a 33-25 conquest. The feature of the contest was the great playing of MaCahan. During the course of the game, he scored nve baskets and four free throws. One Nice December Day . . . there blew into town a very confident basketball team, called the Muncie Bearcats . However, remember, the seat of the mighty is insecure. jefferson kept dashing up and down the floor, with the Bearcats always a little behind in the dashes. Muncie thought it was a nice joke when jeff was ahead at the quarter 9-4, but when jeff was ahead at the half 13-S, they couldn't see the point to the bally joke. Vifhen Muncie pulled within three points, Jeff put on a Garrison Hnish for a 29-22 triumph. In A Rather Dull. . . and uninteresting game, Jeff subdued our friends from across the water to the tune of 54-26. Jeff was tired from the Muncie game of the night before, but they exhib- ited flashes of brilliant team work. Abbot was the whole show for the XWorst Side, getting five baskets and three fouls for high point honors for the evening, while Bogan got 10 points to lead the Mastermen. For The First Time . . . of the year, Cy McCahan was out-jumped at center. Lamb, of Delphi, turned the trick. In addition to this, Jeff was not connecting with the basket. This fact may be seen from the fact that McCahan was high point man for jeff, yet he only scored five points. jeff's defense was effective against straight drives under the basket, but they could not guard the one-handed and trick shots of Gee and Smith, who led the Oracles to victory. Although jeff Got Off . . . to a momentary lead of 6-2, Technical of Indianapolis soon overcame this lead, and were leading 24-11 at the half, due mainly to the efforts of Messrs. Townsend and Edwards. The game became a runaway in the third quarter, due in part, to the fact that Hohman went out on personals in this period. The defense could do nothing with Edwards. McCahan was high for jeff with eleven points. I I I
