RICHARD WlI-COX-Guard CLAUDE YOUNT-Back the invasion of the Iowa Wesleyan lair on Thanks- giving Day. Parsons had victory within her grasp several times only to have it slip away. In the final period a passing attack paved the way for the counter. Yount carrying it over the last chalk mark. The locals had a decided advantage in the statistical argument, making fourteen first downs to Central's four, and gaining two hundred and eighty yards from scrimmage which was far above the visitors' total. In the opening quarter the Wildcats started off in a very businesslike manner, making two first downs in succession, but Lovett fumbled. It was a period of fumbleitis, five of them taking place in a very short time, ending up with Blough nailing one on the fifty yard marker. Parsons opened up with their air attack and Black dashed off for a touchdown only to have the play called back just before the half ended. The Wildcats were on the ten yard line at this point in the contest. The third quarter was apunting duel but in the fourth passes paved the way for the big moment of the day. Parks threw to Tincher for a hfteen yard gaing to Black for eleven, and then Hill caught one of DuBois' offerings for a twenty yard gain. Black scampered for fifteen, DuBois passed to Tincher on the five yard line and Claude Yount plunged it over. Parks kicked the extra point. PARSONS 6, IOWA WESLEYAN 3 It happened! DuBois and Hill will graduate happy. These two fighting Wildcats had waited a long while to conquer Wesleyan on the football field. It was a splendid and fitting climax to the best grid season enjoyed by the Parsonites for several years. It capped Leo Franks coaching term at the Wild- cat school with glory. Of all the thrilling and fighting encounters put forth by these two schools in their athletic relationship, none may be more exciting than this 6 to 3 victory scored by the rose and green of Parsons on Thanksgiving Day, 1934. Wesleyan tallied first on a fine field goal by Hay' ward but the Wildcat aerial forces were yet unac- counted for and early in the final quarter DuBois tossed to Lovett for a touchdown. The Wildcats started out with a snap right at the opening kickoff and pushed the Tigers all over the lContinued in Advertisers Sectionj The first pass toward the winning touchdown against Wesleyan
