Winnurmurw:warre11v1fr4 rmmmlmvrrnmfvrrnnw Northeast Oklahoma Junior College. In the last home game of the season, the Lions buried the Miami Miners under a 32-7 score. The Lions took it easy, but took advantage of the breaks to run up the score, while completely outplaying their opponents. St. Louis University Freshmen. Then the Lions journeyed to the big town to play one of the best teams in Mis- souri. Up against a combination of six inches of mud and a heavy fog which com- pletely ruined their passing game, the Lions were outclassed by their heavier and older opponents, sliding in the mud to a 30-0 defeat. The team was ably and efficiently coached by Dr. Frank B. Moon and Jimmie Gibbons, and much of the success of the team was due to their efforts. Eighteen members of the team received letters and sweaters They are Captain Otis McGaughey Galen Campbell Cecil Murrell Capt.-Elect Harry Roberts Byron Moore Edward Sellinger Ralph Ross Ancell Lewis Erwin Davis Seth Gibbons Clint Powell Ted Mermoud Johnny Souter Paul Baker Paul Terry Thurston Cummins Basil Kirby Charles Cummings ' The rest of the squad who trained faithfully with these eighteen day after day, deserve a lot more credit than they ever receive. Without these men, a winning team would have been impossible. They are: Charles James, Harold Ward, Thomas Harbour, Victor Lowe, George Rohm, Graham Talley, Homer Mote, Herbert VanFleet, Maurice Manning and Max McGaughey, Manager.

The Lions outplayed their opponents in every department of the game. Kemper started the scoring with a field goal in the third period. With about five minutes to play Richardson snared a punt and aided by brilliant interference, dashed down the sidelines to the goal fifty yards away. The Lions simply refused to be beaten. Parsons Junior College. 13-9 against the Lions reads the score. But the score doesn't tell half the story. Twice the umpire gave Parsons touchdowns and twice he robbed the Lions. Parsons' first touchdown was made when a player was allowed to hide on the sidelines and get away with a long pass. Then Richardson raced 95 yards to a touchdown only to be called back and penalized for something, nobody ever found out what. Then Rob- erts hooked a 60-yard pass, to again have the Lions penalized and the ball brought back. Finally Parsons was handed a free touchdown on supposed interference on a pass over the goal line. Yes, the Lions were beaten--not! Southwest Baptist College. Overconfidence, lack of support, the don't give a whoop spirit and butter- fingers beat the Lions 6-0. Their playing was terrible. Fumbles cost them more than one chance to score and caused Bolivar's score. Missouri Military Academy. A raging Lion, smarting under the sting of two defeats, ran rough-shod over their opponents, scoring eight touchdowns and five points after touchdown to win 61-0. The Lions gained 570 yards to Mexico's 28, and made 24 first downs to 0. This was Home-Coming Day besides the game the day was featured by a mammoth parade and a banquet. Bacone Indians. By over-whelming the strong Bacone team by the score of 44-0, the Lions more than avenged last year's 13-12 defeat. The Lions played great football, scoring six touchdowns, while McGaughey booted 5 goals after touchdown and a field. Arkansas University Freshmen. Beaten by the breaks-13-14. Outplaying the Frosh in every phase of the game the Lions were forced to accept defeat in one of the most brilliantly played and thrill- ing games ever seen in Carthage. A hard-blowing south wind caused all the trouble, blowing back a punt that resulted in Arkansas' second touchdown, and blowing from their paths a kick after touchdown that would have tied the game, and a field goal that would have won it. The quarter passing drive of the Lions was without doubt the mostmost brilliant and thrilling work in Carthage football history. Mmmumflfa1rr:,:mmaunmH , IIHIIIIIHIIHIIHIIIIHIIHIIHHII'
