With Mundelein's goal posts in sight, Fenwick's line surges ahead to discover a stiff wall of Pirate defense awaiting them. Despite many such efforts on our part, the game was lost by a 14 point margin. A Pirate attempt to pierce the bricklike Mendel defense falls short as the ball carrier is snowed under by a deluge of white jersies. Dom Faraci and lay Emerich race over to lend a helping hand to their be- sieged buddy, but they arrive too late. While the scoreboard read 13-13, the Pirates zipped into Northwestern's territory. ln their last and final effort to break the stalemate, a number of ill-fated penalties were called against them, and the score stayed stationary for the remainder of the game.
