Midland 0 H eslcyan 0 Jusi another game on the gridiron for Midland with its old rival, Wesleyan, and just another game that ended as many before it have ended. A scoreless tie —so history repeats itself. It seems that a black shrouded figure follows the Warriors in their conflicts with the Coyotes and this jinx remained with them this year. Although outplaying tin Coyotes in every phase of the game the Warriors were unable to push over a touchdown. With the ball on the one foot line and three downs to put it over a Warrior back fumbled and Wesleyan recovered. The best chance of the game shot, as well as the first football victory over Wesleyan in Midland history. The final score was Midland 0, Wesleyan 0. Midland 6 Doanc 10 This game marked the first conference defeat of the season for the Warriors. There was no team in the state, with the possible exception of Chadron. which could be classed in the same plane with the team from Doane. The Tigers were big and they were also good. I'he Warriors were somewhat handicapped by injuries, there being li e regulars out. An intercepted pass made by a Midland end followed b a beautiful run. counted for the six points in the score column. The defenses of the two teams were head and shoulders above the offenses of either. Doane had the championship team of the conference, and they earned the victory, but in going to defeat, the Warriors did so gloriously. The game ended, Midland 6. Doane 10.

SEASON RESUME It will ho noted that the individual achievements of the members of the teams have been left out of the game summaries. This was done intentionally, because it is too often that one individual gets credit when it is due, in just as great measure to another who inconspicuously did his part making the play successful. The team played as a team and when a beautiful run was made it was because the whole team, eleven men. not one. were in the thick of the play. Partiality and individual achievements have their place, and should not he carried into the games. Kvery man on the squad did the best he knew how, all the time, and by doing this made the Warrior team feared by all. not as a few brilliant stars, but as a well- rounded team. Midland 0 Still 7 Opening the season with a non-conference game with Still College of Osteopathy, l)es Moines, la.. Coach Catlin's Warriors showed that they would he a team that would be greatly feared later in the year. The game was a very interesting one, with both sides playing about the same caliber of football. The only score of the game was made when the “Boncsetters intercepted a Midland pass and thus got into such a position that they were later able to score. This score was made late in the game, in fact had it been made earlier, or had there been more time left, the score might have been different. The Warriors rallied and were on their way to a touchdown when the final gun sounded, and so the score that goes down on the books is Midland 0. Still 7.

Midland 0 Peru 20 Before a large crowd of old grads, present for Homecoming Day, Coach Gatlin's Warriors displayed some of the old Warrior spirit and light when they were de- feated by the Peru Bobcats. Although handicapped approximately twenty pounds to the man. the Warriors went out there and cracked the Normaliles for all they were worth. Many was the time that Midland would stop Peru in its tracks, hut the weight and experience told against the Warriors and. aided hy several breaks, the Bobcats pushed over their twenty points. Midland was unable to score, however, Peru's protected goal line was almost crossed when a Midland player recovered a blocked punt and all but scored. The game will be remembered as the best game of the season, the final result being, Midland 0, Peru 20. Midland 101 Dana 0 Running up the highest score ever made by a Midland football team, the War- riors trounced Dana, 101 to 0. Dana college having just entered the state confer- ence at the beginning of the season, was not in the same plane as the Warriors and was completel) outclassed by Gatlin's men. “Punk Cunningham, now in the backfield. made five touchdowns, while Marty Koolen scored four. The large score was made possible only through the playing of the eleven men. and not the individual playing of am one man. Something should he said concerning the spirit and light of the Dana team.
