Pardon Me! K. M. I.-DANVILLE In the first half the Kaydets took all the power, a rough and ready Danville eleven could expend. The fray opened with a clus- ter of scoring. A Kaydet fumble in the op- ening minute, and hard running by Dan- ville's All-State halfback, Jim Farley, net- ted a Danville score. Clark Frazier, Gene King, and Bob Ray uncorked a lightning offense for K. M. I., which erased the defi- This was the winning touchdown Lawson Carries cit almost immediately by marching back 90 yards to connect with their first touch- down. Farley punctured the Kaydet de- fenses again in the first stanza, and Dan- ville led 12-6 at halftime. The hard fight- ing teams played on equal terms in the sec- ond period, but as the second half began, the K. M. I. squad, full of renewed vigor, lost no time tallying. After a second half kick-off, Farley punted to Jenks, who squirmed his way 40 yards to Danvi11e's 20. Crutcher tried the Admirals left flank for five, and Jenks, running around left end, evaded the whole Danville team to score. Steve Miles converted, and the Soldiers overtook the Admirals 13-12.

I. gridders faced their tough- est foe at Manual Stadium, in Louisville, determined and ready, but the powerful Henry Clay of Lexington was too much for them. K. M. I. succeeded in holding the Clay eleven scoreless in the first period, but the Blue Devil juggernaut gained momentum in the second frame to rack up 20 points. K. M. I. retaliated and appeared capable of LETTERMEN holding the score down by marching 61 yards in seven plays for their only marker. Gene King climaxed the uprising by reeling off 30 yards around the Blue Devil's left flank. Erratic passing and fumbling kept the Kaydets in hot Water most of the game. Henry Clay continued to strike up tallies in the third and fourth stanzas. Hibbard's and Current's spectacular playing for the Blue Devils made a finale of 47-6.

More of K. M. I.-FLAGET Flaget's underdog Braves, led by hard running Joe McGrath, unleashed a spark- ling running attack, and a baffling aerial display to defeat the hapless K. M. I. eleven 37-6, at Maxwell Field. The two flared-up teams played their hardest for it was their last game of the season. Tommy Bohan- non uncorked a bullet pass to McGrath, who received it on the Kaydets 20, and raced to the first score. The Kaydets suc- ceeded in tying the score 6-6 by the end of the first period. Bob Ray, Ted Jenks, and Clark Frazier co-operated to mark up two first downs and place the oval on the Flaget 16. From there, Thompson stabbed over LETTERMEN TAGGART MUDD VAN 1viECRE game shots on K. M. I. field right tackle for a touchdown. The Kaydets showed signs of distress as M c G ra th marked up tallies for Flaget, but the Sol- diers came back hard and fighting! Yes, the Kaydets lost the game, but in football the score is not all that counts. Each one of the team fought hard during the entire season and did his utmost, therefore, it was a successful one. The team deserves much credit and praise, for those boys had it in them.
