11 , f 1-v Z mr a 1-.4-sE4 - If-FL' L Ax CReview of the 1927 Footballseason ITH only two letter men back this year the Tigers' prospect for a team were not very bright, but through the good work of Coach Gaskeen and the energy and willingness of the material which came out a good team was organized. The Hrst game of the season was played with Marceline, there. The outstanding feaf ture of the game was Barrickman's 105-yard run for a touchdown. The Tigers showed good team work and won by a 27 to 8 score. The next game was with Moberly, there. The Tigers succeeded in scoring in the first three minutes of play when Barrickman ran 50 yards for a touchdown. Another touchdown was made in the second quarter and another in the third. Score: Tigers 19, Moberly 6. The third game of the season, played at Macon, added another victory to the Tigers' credit. The Macon team was outplayed and we were victorious by a 41 to 0 score. The next game was played on the home field with Chillicothe and was hardffought throughout. Kirksville succeeded in scoring in the first quarter. The Hornets' only score was made in the last quarter. The final score was, Kirksville, 13, and Chillicothe, 6. The game with Memphis was also played in Kirksville. Memphis outplayed the Tigers in the first half of the game but in the second half the Tigers showed better and more consistent playing and succeeded in making two touchdowns. ln the last quarter each team made a touchdown and the game ended, Kirksville, 25, Memphis, 13. In the next game, which was played here with Unionville, the Tigers played some real football. The second team had a chance to show their ability in this game. The score was 60 to 6 in favor of Kirksville. ln the game here with Columbia the Tigers played a good brand of football and out' played the Kewpies in every respect. The final score was 21 to 6 favoring Kirksville. The next game was with our old rival, Green City, played on their field. The Tigers' hopes for championship were ruined in this game. Their only score was made in the last few minutes of play when Munns scooped up a fumble and ran 40 yards for a touchdown. Score, Green City, 19, Kirksville, 6. ' The Tigers' next contest on the home field was with a new opponent, the Missouri Military Academy Cadets from Mexico. The Cadets scored in the early part of thegame on a long run. The Tigers outplayed their opponents in the last half of the game but were unable to score. The last gameof the season was between the Tigers and the Alumni and was played on a frozen field, against a cold wind. The old Tigers showed the young Tigers a good game. The score was, Tigers, S, Alumni, 6. . nr? 'T A ' -f I --1'-xi ll43ll
