Zlwzfdall G. Burnlcrant Assistant Coach Marshfield went into practice on September l with hopes of doing better on the gridiron than had been done in the past few years. The squad had a few bad breaks with injuries, but came out in fourth position with a five hundred per cent rating. Marshfield opened the conference season at home with Stevens Point putting up the opposition. Marshfield scored in the closing minutes of the half when Carnahan threw another touchdown pass to Reese in the end zone. The game ended shortly with Marshfield the victor l3 to U. The squad traveled to Wisconsin Rapids to play for their homecoming game. Rapids played an inspired game of ball and kept Marshfield from scoring, since the Tigers didn't have quite enough reserve energy when they needed T it, and the game ended U to O. Antigo, with a pile driving, bone crushing defense and offense, was Marshfield's opponent for our homecoming game. Many of Marshfield's players were helped from the field in a one-sided victory which finally ended 50 to O. Marshfield furnished the opposition for Merrill's homecoming. The game was played on a rather muddy field which was not a great hindrance to either team. Marshfield scored first when Billings pounded his way over for a touchdown. Merrill tied it up 6 to 6 early in the third quarter and stepped into the lead when a pass was thrown in the late minutes of third quarter good for six more points. Carnahan threw a pass to Seidl in the end zone to tie up the game with a score of l2 to l2. Marshfield went down under the fire of Kotz and Company from Rhinelander loy a 38 to 6 score. Marshfield scored late in the second quarter after putting on an 85 yard drive. Seidl tossed a flat pass to Garvue who lateraled to Reed who ran the last lU yards to score. Marshfield went to Nelcoosa for both final games and Nekoosa's homecoming. The play seesawed back and forth with the Golden Tigers in enemy territory most of the game. ln the last eight minutes Garvue's touchdown cinched the game for the Tigers, 640.

IOHN CHRlSTY played the right end position for three seasons. Although rather short for an end and catching passes, he made up for it in his block- ing ability and outstanding defense. lohn wore number 80 during his sen- ior year. WALTER GARVUE left end and back- field, broke into his ball-carrying duties in the Nekoosa game of his junior year. Wally was one of the biggest men on the squad. He scored our only touch- down against Nekoosa this year. ALLEN LElTNER, a junior who has played right tackle for the past two years, has much promise of being an outstanding player. Allen is a large fel- low and a hard tackler and blocker. DONALD REESE, a three year man was probably one of the best pass receivers Marshfield has had in a long time. Bud scored three touchdowns in his senior year. He played a tackle posi- tion this year. C-ERRY BAUER played the left guard position throughout his three years on the field. Gerry is credited with having done some very fine down field block- ing. He kept the chatter going on in the game. RUSSELL REED, left guard, was prob- ably the smallest member of the squad. He was a three year man and a good defensive and offensive player. ln his Iunior year he was All Conference and as a senior Second Team All Conference. HM BAUER, a freshman, played center and did well for his size. However, lim made up for this with his drive and fight. He has much promise and will be valuable to the team of the next few years. LEO WINTERBURN, a lunior, was on the high school football field for the first time this year. He alternated as guard and center.
