PARSONS O IOWA WESLEYAN 0 Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, Nov. 24, 1938. For the second consecutive year the annual Turkey Day classic between the Wildcats from Parsons and the Tigers from Iowa Wesleyan battled to a scoreless tie. The defense ability of both teams was too good for the opponent's offensive drives. The first three quarters were played on even terms with little Will Hatfield keeping Parsons back in their own territory by his sensational kicking. In the fourth stanza both teams had their opportunity. Wesleyan's came first when Hat- field got away for 32 yards to the Wildcats' 19-yard stripe. Here the drive stopped by the Wildcats' forward wall blocking a place kick. The Kelly Green's chance came late in the game after a series of short passes and gains by Klein and Stevens had given them a first down on the Tigers' 11-yard marker. The gun ending the game cut the drive short and probably saved the Wildcats from scoring. IAMES CECIL Freshman back --f A pony back, as well as one of the best punters on the squad, V, who lacked experience this season but will be available for the next three. VERLIN ROWLEY Sophomore guard --V A good. rough guard who lacked the experience to break into games but should be ready for action and see plenty of it in the next two years. ,yf
