1 The Marion Warriors as a result of being undefeated in the C. V. L. be- came the champion for 1945. Although their record is not enviable it is not a bad one in any sense of the word. Moundridge was our first rival and the game was evenly matched throughout. After forty-eight minutes of battering football with each side having a touchdown called back, the score stood 0-0. The following week Cottonwood fell beneath the Warrior's power to a tune of 18 to 7. This was the beginning and Marion kept right on by defeating Enter- prise 26 to 18, even though the visitors led 18 to 6 at halftime. The fol- lowing week the Warriors met their first C. V. L. opponent and beat Hillsboro 41 to 6, the largest score of the season, By this time Marion's power was at its peak and thc following week they met the powerful Florence Wildcats. With the score standing 6-2 and four minutes of play remaining, the Warriors scored a touchdown as a result of a Wildcat fumbled punt coupled with several penalties and a determination to win by the home team. The final score stood 8 to 6. After a week of rest, an underdog Council Grove team handed the Warriors their first loss of the season 6 to 0. Following this upset the Warriors lost a contest to the Herington Rai1roaders 32-12. With only one game remaining the Warriors journeyed to Peabody to play the deciding game of the C. V. L. After a bitterly fought contest, the score stood 6-6 but as a re- sult of this time the C. V. L. trophy rested in Marion's hands for the first time in four years.
