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.

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.

Although hopelessly defeated they gave I lie game all they had until the final whistle was blown. The score. Midland 101, Dana 0. Midland 13 Hastings 3 This game may be classed as the most thrilling and the most extraordinary game of the year. It is a game which had in it six minutes of the most concentrated effort ever witnessed on the Midland gridiron. A Midland punt was grounded by a Midland player before it had hit the ground and the officials, interpreting this is an interference to a fair catch, gave the Hast- ings team a free chance at a goal kick. McGrady, Hastings quarterback, standing on the fifty-two yard line, booted as pretl a drop kick as ever seen on the Midland field. This little handicap, thought by some to be a donation, served as the fuse for some dynamite which was soon let loose. The Warriors' blood was up and in six minutes of the most powerful offense uncorked by the team during the season, Midland chalked up thirteen points. The game ended Midland 13, Hastings 3. Midland 6 Yorl( 6 Although outplaying the York Panthers in every department of the game. Mid- land had to content itself with a six to six tie in this game. York’s first touchdown in history against a Midland team came in the first quarter after a Midland fumble had shown them that there was a Santa Claus after all. Midland, at the start of the second quarter, began another drive similar to the one the week previous against Hastings, and it soon scored a touchdown. Another touchdown was made on a recovered fumble but this was disallowed.
