COLUMBIA 20 PARSONS 7 Dubuque, Iowa, Oct. 21, 1938. For the second consecutive week the Kelly Green dropped a conference game. Columbia College was victorious on their own field by a score of 20-7, the worst defeat of the season ,for the Wildcats. The victors started early and rang up a touchdown midway in the initial quarter. The play was fairly even until after intermission, when the Columlzia team gained thirteen more points. The Wildcats weren't' to be whitewashed, though, for in the last quarter Stevens tallied a six-pointer while Fightmaster added the extra point. Fumbles and the inability of the passers to hit the receivers proved disastrous to the Faurot men. Both teams made six first downs but the Wildcats made but half the yardage from scrimmage that the Columbiansipiled up. O. B. NELSON Freshman end - O.

PENN 14 PARSONS 7 Oskaloosa, Iowa, Oct. 8, 1938. The Penn College Quakers pulled a mild upset by defeating the Wildcats 14-7 in the first conference engagement of the Faurot men. The victors tallied early in the opening quarter as the direct result of a blocked punt. The rest of the half was fairly evenly played with neither team showing a consistent offense. The Parsonites came out fighting at the start of the last half and shortly produced the tying tally, George McClain going over from the one-yard marker. The Quakers were unable to penetrate the solid Wildcat line so they took to the air to score the winning touchdown late in the game.

PARSONS 15 SIMPSON 12 Fairfield, Iowa, Oct. 29, 1938. Before a large and enthusiastic Homecom- ing crowd the Wildcats unleashed all their fury and downed the Redskins from Simpson College 15-12. The superiority of the Faurot men was rnuch more in evidence than the score indicates for they made 17 first downs to the losers' 3. The initial quarter saw Parsons score on a 22-yard pass play from Chuck Klein to Bob Fightmaster. Simpson came back in the second canto to score a touchdown but failed to tie up the game by missing the extra point. Stevens scored again from the victors after a march of 95 yards: Klein and Miller were also beneficial in this drive. A blocked punt in the end zone gave the Wildcats their other two points. The most thrilling play ofthe game came in the closing seconds when Simpson passed from their own three-yard stripe and the receiver, Cline, didn't stop running 'till he had rung up the losers' second touchdown. BOB DAVIS Iunior back - A lightweight back who showed plenty of iight. Bob still has another year of competition. RAY TENNANT Freshman back - A shitty back who was hampered by injuries this year but should be valuable for the next three years.
