5 i I Thirty-six boys responded to Coach Jilka's call for football candidates. Since this was Coach Jllka's first year at Parker, everyone was interested in what he might do in the way of winning. Eleven lettermen were among the squad of thirty-six boys that reported for football. with these boys as a nucleus, Coach Jilka built a team, who,when the season closed, had won four games, lost three, and tied one. Westphalia was the first victim to the tune of 21 to O. Playing on the local field, every member of the squad got into the line-up. Touchdowns were made by Stocklin, Barnett and Cockram. In the second game of the season at LaCygne, Parker made plenty of yardage, but was unable to cross the goal line but once. Blue lound,playing here, gave Parker its first defeat. The game was closer than the score indicated. On October 15 two teams of equal caliber met at Parker and after forty-eight minutes of hard play were still equal. The game ended in a 0 to O tie. Both Wellsville and Parker had an opportunity to score once as each had the ball on the five yard line, but in both cases the defense strengthened and prevented a score. In a game that was well played by Parker, Pleasanton took the long end of a 12 to 7 score. The game ended when, with the score 7 to 6 in favor of Parker, thirty seconds to play and fourth down and goal to gc, Pleasanton completed a pass over the goal line to give them the game. Barnett, Husted, Schriver and Goodall, all regulars were out with injuries in this game. The following week, Parker playing a good game in the rain and mud, defeated Louisburg 7 to O. Stocklin, who did a remarkable job of carrying the ball in the mud, went over in the first half for the only touchdown of the game. Franse made the extra point by plunging across from the two yard line. This was the home-coming game and a large crowd was on hand to see the mud battle. Hound City was winner of the Parker- Mound City game at Mound City- P6 to 0, Th, Mound City team who were eventually the County uchampsn, varied their attack to run up a large score. ' In a postponed game and also the final game of the season and the last game for the seniors, Parker made a touchdown on the first play to beat Kincaid 7 to O on the home field. A pass to Cockram was com- pleted to the fifty yard line and he legged it the extra point to make the score 7 to 0.
