Three of them pkiyed in several varsity contests, but were a little short on the necessary requirements for letterin,s ;. Jim Shellenberger per- formed capably at his guard assign- ments. Pint-sized Ralph Bowmaster proved to be a (|uarterback of promise. Byron Johnson, too, worked well in the backfield. During scrimmages, the cannon fodder stood their ground well. The center of the line, consisting of Harry Baker, Lloyd Frederick, and Leoran Spooner, was battered, but very stub- born. Tackles Alfred Tietjen and Keith Clifton gave the regulars plenty of stiff resistance. The ends, Ernest Bartley and Harold Boyle, worked hard, while backfield men, Lee McAllister and Marvin E llis, served nobly. These dozen men helped to build a stronger, scrappier Plainsman eleven.

Midland 19 Wesi.eyan NVU.l.lAM - I- IIAIiKIXGToX. Ill; JOHNSON, K Midland ' s Ixig of tricks proved to i)e too much f(ir Wesleyan ' s fighting Plainsmen, for the Warriors chalked up a U to ' ictory over the invading Lincolnites. The Fremonters did all their scoring in the first half. The lidlanders started a 48-yard drive that in six plays crossed the Plainsman goal line. The kick for the extra point split the up- rights. The second period had hardly started when a Warrior broke loose on a 22-yard run which added six more points to the Mid- land total. The attempt at the extra p oint failed. Later in the second quarter a 26-yard Midland pass caught the Wesleyanites off balance and the Warriors tallied for their third and last time. The second half was closely contested and hard fought. While much of the play was in the Thomasmen ' s territory, neither eleven crossed the other ' s 15-yard line in the second canto. The Plainsman offensive never clicked, although speedy Don Otto turned in a brilliant job of broken field running. Over 200 Wesleyanites, including the Pride of the Plainsman band, attended the game. DoANE 19 -Wesi.eyan 6 Wesleyan ' s gridders bogged down after a thrilling march in the first quarter netted them a touchdown, as the Doane Tigers ruined, not only the Plainsmen ' s hopes for an X. C. A. C. cham- pionship, but their Homecoming as well, with a convincing win of 19 to 6. Early in the first period Johnny Staten and Bill Wilhelm crashed through to block a Doane punt and recover for Wesleyan on the Tiger five. After three plays put the ball nn the two. Staten drove oft tackle for the Yellow and Brown touchdown. The kick for the extra point was wide. In the second canto, Doane recovered a Thomasman fumble on ' esleyan ' s 20. A combination end run and a lateral hit pay dirt for the Tigers. La ' aun Price knocked down their pass for the extra point. The Cretemen scored their second tally on a pass and a run down the sidelines. The placekick for the extra point was perfect. In the final c|uarter, Doane smashed down the field 63 yards for six more points. The try for the extra point failed. The final gun stopped a last minute Plainsman drive. Wesleyan 6 Peru A Plainsman eleven composed of ten seniors in the last home game of their grid careers and on e junior downed the Blue and White Bobcats, 6-0 in the Wesleyan bowl. After three successive fumbles in the first canto, Wes- leyan took possession of the ball on the Peru 48. LaX ' aun Price and Charles Burroughs ripped off yardage to push the ball to Peru ' s 18. On a double reverse, behind perfect blocking, Bur- oughs covered the remaining yard for a score. Price ' s place- kick was wide. In the second quarter, Peru recovered a Wesleyan fumble drove down the fielld, but the stout Plainsman line stopped e cats on the four-yard line. A dull third period passed but with the opening of the fourth, Peru marched down the field 66 yards before the Plains- men rallied to stop them on their own six. Peru threatened once more, but again their attack was stopped. The ictory bell rang out in the crisp night air : the seniors had won their last home game, and Wesleyan her third victory of the season. o ' oiit iinu-ii to p.ia:o t o) (30)
