ill, DUBUQUE 21 PARSONS 13 Fairfield, Iowa, November ll, 1938. The powerful Spartans from Dubuque University outlasted a fighting Wildcat eleven on Armistice afternoon and won to the tune of 21-13. It was an exciting game all the way and especially on the opening kick-off when Stevens ran it back 95 yards for a touchdown. The Kelly Green tallied their other marker in the second quarter on a 45-yard pass play from Klein to Ierry Miller. The 13-point lead wasn't enough, though, for the Spartans came back strong the last half and ran up three touchdowns. The first was by Wilson on a 73-yard return of a punt, the second by Dodge on a reverse, and the third by Blaha on a line plunge and a run oi- 27 yards. The Wildcats outplayed their highly favored foes but were short in the number of points tallied. BILL BELLOWS lunior tackle - One of the biggest men on the squad who was slated lor a regu- lar berth until cr siege of ' influenza blocked him out for the season. Bill will come into his own next season. ARTHUR NELSON Freshman guard - - A good scrapper in the line but lacked experience to hold a regular position. We should hear a lot about Ace in the next three years.

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.
