IIUT 0F TIE TWO The next game was with Baker Uni- versity and was the dedication game of our new field. This game was a battle if there ever was a battle, from start to finish, and is voiced as one of the great- est games ever witnessed by McPherson fans, even though it ended in a scoreless tie. Th Bulldogs' line and Haun's punt- ing should be given considerable credit. The fifth game was at Bethel College and marked the first defeat for the Bull- dogs, and it being the first time in the history of the two schools that this situa- tion has happened. The game was played on a rain soaked field and the Bulldogs were unable to score, the score being 7-0. The next foe to face the Bulldogs was the Swedes of Bethany College, from whom the Bulldogs won by a 26-6 score. Zuhars accounted for two touchdowns. Haun and Stratman one each. The next two games marked the sec- ond and third defeat for the Bulldogs, one to College of Emporia by a score of 7-0, and one to Emporia State Teachers College by a score of 41-6.

169. Mike Vasquez was one of the most consistent linemen on the squad, and was the only man of the squad to secure a position on the first all-conference team. Seidel and Epps, although small, were always dependable. They both have the ability to give their opponents plenty of trouble. Reinecker, the lone senior of the squad, gave a good account of himself at Kansas Wesleyan. Barn- grover and Caldwell both deserve con- siderable credit. Barngrover played a good game at either tackle or end. Rodelander, Wiegand, Moore and Bur- ress usually did their share in blocking, . wx running interference and breaking up opponents' plays. Burress was used at end position toward the end of the sea- son to help strengthen the line. Burress could punt, kick, and pass, all equally well. Laboring against imposing odds throughout the year Coaches Binford and Selves have worked hard develop- ing this team. They would be seen to- gether planning methods of attack and defense, solving the opposing team's plays and working out new plays. They have proved to be men of character, courage, and determination, forever holding the admiration and respect of all their athletes. -..QP ' 7 .fm -of S41 7M-f, -dexafgbii 554' 'T 67' f ff-ew-Q 7' .17 frm- ff.rJff'J, A iw' ' f f' - 1 .1
