llllllllll Wentworth 26--Moberly 6 Led by big Ted Mester, the Red Dragon cadets of VVentworth push- ed the Greyhounds in the last vol- ume for the fourth consecutive set- back 26'-6. They were off to a roll- ing start and scored the majority of their points in the early part of the game. Coach McCormick gave the Grey- hounds a pep talk at the half and as in previous experiences they came back in a much improved form after the intermission. The Hounds were robbed of one touchdown in the third period because of an off side penalty where Goldak picked up a blocked kick near midfield and raced to the goal line before being called back. Outstanding on the part of the Greyhonds was the discovery of Rich Correll as a halfback. He had previously played end the majority of the time, but with Kozar's twisted knee hampering him, Correll got his chance and made the best of it. Time and time again he and Claw- son threatened the pay off mark but the Dragons managed to hold long enough to gain possession of the ball. W-'ith only five minutes to go in the last quarter the Greyhounds drove the ball to the fifteen fro-m where Correll passed to Stringer, who stepped into the end zone for the tally. Cassidy was outstanding defen- sive for the Hounds. Burlington 39-M. J. C. 6 A Greatly surprised by the unex- pected strength of Burlington Jun- ior College, Mo-berly again went down in defeat 39-6. The Hawk- eyes were spurred on by a negro back, Livingston, whose speed and elusiveness made him hard to bring down, The score at the half was 19-O and in the second half the Hawkeye quarterback gave Living- ston competition for the limelight by sprinting 78 yards to score. The Greyhound touchdown came late in the fourth period. Makepeace broke through the right side of the line and with good blocking raced fifty yards to the Burlington 30 be- fore he was brought down from be- hind by the safety man. Correll then completed a pass to Kaminski who scored. After the Hound score there wasn't time for either team to dis- play any offensive punch. K. c. K. s-M. J. c. 7 On a rainsoaked field, not at all new to this year's season, the hard fighting, fast charging Greyhounds came from behind to defeat the heavier Kansas City, Kansas Blue Devils, 7-6 and to bag their first victory. The Hounds completely outplayed them the entire game and the score doesn't give justice to the way they pushed the Blue Devils around. Kansas City got a big break in the second period when they broke through the line and blocked Less- ley's kick. The ball bounded out of bounds on the five and was put o-ver in one play by Cure. His try for the extra point through the line failed. At the beginning of the third quarter the Greyhound offensive opened up and by fine running by Correll and Clawson brought the ball to the three before they lost it on downs. After a K. C. C. kick another drive was on and was cli- maxed by some clever quater back- ing as Clawson slid off left tackle for the score when the Blue Devils expected Correll over the right side of the line. A similar play netted the extra p-oint and the margin of victory. I FIFTY

lllllllllll The remainder of the game was also the Greyhounds as they bottled up any K. C. K. offense and allowed only one first down in the last quar- ter. Graceland 26-M. J. C. O The Graceland College Yellow- jackets handed the Greyhounds an- other defeat at Laimoni, Iowa, 26-0. Graceland went on throughout the rest of the season undefeated in con- ference play and captured the ln- terstate Conference title. The entire Greyhound squad saw action in the game, but the Yellow- jacket regulars were forced to re- main in most of the time. Kemper 6-M. J. C. 0 In the last game of the season the Kemper Cadets barely eked out a victory over the under- dog Greyhounds 6-0. Weather Conditions were ideal for a change and it aided the Hound defense against the heavier Yellowjackets. The defense was made by Bob Weis Front row: Coach McCormick, Lierly, Goldak, Kaminski, Weis, Clawson, Lessley, Stringer Cure Mr Hill Second rowzi Harriisonl Watts, Buckler, Correll, Isle, C. Carter, Brayfield, Marshall, L. Fox, Hagan, Sanders, J. Carter. t 111 G. Hart, Welch, Schwab, Old, Third row: Haak, Rector, Holt, E. Har, Va ey, ' Barron, Schlemeir. The Yellowjackets scored in the first three minutes of play after a weak kick gave them the ball on the Greyhound 5. Although Grace- land failed to score but six points in the last half, they had already made the game safe by racking up twenty points in the first two quar- ters. Moberly offense, after starting stronger in the second half with three consecutive first downs, sput- tered and died down without an- other serious threat. and Ed Kaminski. Weis, however, was lost for part off the game with an ankle injury. The Kemper score occurred in the first halfand was set up by a 50-yard run by Hall that brought the ball to the Moberly 18. It took them seven plays to score and fi- nally pushed it over from the 6-inch line. ' Toward the end of the game the Cadets tried desperately to build up a big score, but the inspired Mob- erly line would not permit it and the game ended 6-0. FIFTY-ONE
