In this preliminary prac- tice period the boys worked hard and were soon ready for the regular season. SHELBINA The first game of the season was against the Shelbina Indians of their home field. The Tigers, playing good ball for their initial encounter, rolled up a 26-13 victory. The Tigers scored first when halfback Couch trudged over from the four yard line after Marceline had recovered a fumble on the forty yard line shortly after the opening kickoff. Dean Wilson scored the second touchdown from the eight yard line as a result of another Indian fumble. The third touch of pay dirt came when Wiggins passed to end Walsworth for six points and then ran around end for the extra point. Marceline's final T. D. was 66 SHELBINA 13 BROOKFIELD O UNIONVILLE 7 MILAN 18 TREN TON 12 CHILLICOTHE 0 MACON 6 KIHKSVILLE 13 69 made by Bob Oliver on a six yard plunge with Wiggins again running the extra point. U BROOKFIELD i Playing almost the entire game in Brookfield ter- ritory, the Tigers and the Brookfield Bulldogs battled to a 0-0 tie before a overflowing crowd at Brook- field's Burlington Field. Although outqaining the Bulldogs in almost every phase of the game, the Tigers could not develop the drive to punch the ball over. Glen Clarke played an excellent game on the defense. UN ION VILLE Scoring twice in the last quarter, the Bengals of Marceline racked up their first conference victory of the season, 19-7 over the Unionvilles Midgets in a bitterly fought game here. Wiggins passed to halfback Sportsman for the first six points. The last two touchdowns were engineered by quarterback Boudreaux with Oliver smashing over for the second and Sportsman, on his next opportunity, running forty-two yards for the final score.

MILAN Marceline's winning streak came to a close when the Wildcats of Milan High School outscored the Tigers in a loosely played football game at Milan. The final score was 13-18. Marceline's first T. D. was made when Oliver bulled over from the three yard line: the second was the result of a fifty-five yard punt return by Wiggins. TRENTON The victory was the first over Trenton in six years and a very happy one to the tune of 19 to 12. The first to hit pay dirt was Bobby Couch, who shot off his own right tackle for thirty-six yards and six points. The Tigers tallied again the next time they got their hands on the ball. Couch scored from the fourteen yard line: Wiggins passed to end Axcell for the extra point. The last T. D. cafme when Sports- man intercepted a pass and scampered ninety-five yards to score. CHILLICOTHE The Bengals easily rolled up their largest score of the season by overpowering the Chillicothe Hor- nets, 32 to 0. The scoring was divided among sev- eral players. Sportsman scored the first touchdown: Oliver plunged over for number two: Wiggins passed to Walsworth for the third. A pass intercepted by Wiggins netted the fourth, and Couch racked up the fifth. MACON The Tigers of M. H. S. easily swept by an inept Macon team, 32 to 6. When the dust had cleared away, Wiggins had two touchdowns to his credit. Sportsman, intercepting a pass, quickly tumed it to six points by running thirty-five yards to score. Walsworth scored on a fumble, and Couch also got into the scoring by going over from the eleven yard line. KIRKSVILLE The Marceline gridders met defeat for the second time this season when they went down to defeat at the hands of a powerful Kirksville team, 13 to O. The Tigers held the visiting team to its lowest score of the season and gave them their roughest game in the conference, but were unable to crash the tough defense of the Kirksville team. BROOKFIELD The Marceline Tigers roared to victory over their old rivals, the Brookfield Bulldogs in the annual Armistice Day game and retained the coveted bell. After marching deep into Bulldog territory, Wiggins threw a beautiful pass to Sportsman for six points. For the extra point, Wiggins again cocked his arm back and threw to Don Walsworth. Recovering a fumble near the Brookfield goal line, the Tigers quickly turned it into the winning margin as Wiggins sneaked through the Bulldog line for our second score. In the third quarter Brookfield scored and made the conversion, but then Marceline settled down to business and kept Brookfield from the home goal. The final score, to the delight of Tiger fans. was Marceline 13, Brookfield 7. The twenty-two letterrnen including eight seniors, twelve juniors, one sophomore and one freshman.
