F TB LL K. M. I. 6, Park School 7 A tough game to lose to our Indianapolis visitors. Alfs was on the sidelines depriving the team of all plunging strength After a forward ass Ro t M . p , ss o c- Culloch for a touchdown, conversion failing, the Kaydets h ad the game apparently sewed up until the last minute of play only to pull a had honer to present Park with six points as a gift, Park converted to win a heart- breaker from K, M. l. K. M. I. 6, duPont Manual 34 The Kaydets looked a lot better in their last game, Although the score was topheavy against them th g e game was a hard one and our boys provided plenty of o osit' , Th ' ' pp ron ey made a gallant fight against great odds and earned the cheers of the Louisville crowd time after time, And when Jim lrvin snagged a ass d p an galloped 75 yards for a touchdown the gang went wild The K d t b lf ' ay e s egan to loom like a team now. But the season was overl The boys on the squad were faithful, gave their best and steadily improved in their football f d un amentals. They learned a lot of football the hard way and will be an outfit worth watching in 1944. Coaches Pace and Williams did their usual job of good coaching. Every man got to play in almost every game There were no stars but th . ey were all buddies who did their dar d ' was in them. Again, watch out for the Kaydets in 19411. n est and put out every minute for all that f' KM
