With Ripon leading at the half, Law- rence rallied and evened up the score wtih two touchdowns, the second coming in the closing minutes of the game on a series of short passes. Final score: Ripon 13, Law- rence 13. The only other game was played on home grounds against a scrappy Beloit team. Ralph Martin and Gladwin Born shared touchdown honors, with Martin scampering sixty yards for a score and Born hauling down a 35-yard pass in the end zone. Final score: Ripon 13, Beloit 6. In addition to a splendid season of compe- tition, the freshman team should receive well deserved praise for hours of scrimmage which helped shape the Ripon varsity into a cl1ampionship team. I

McCourt, Lamb, Pickard Cross Country The fall cross country team, under the competent coaching of Gil Hertz, ran hard this year but was unable to overcome the fact that it was the first season for the entire squad and experience was lacking. Main- stays of the Ripon squad and potentials for a much stronger squad next season are lim Lamb, lim Pickard, Iohn Messer and Henry Herbig. The first contest was a dual meet with the University of Wisconsin which the Badgers won, 50-15. Next, at Lawrence, Ripon's dis- tance men were forced to drop another conf test by a score of 45-15. In the last meet of the season, with Lamb placing third, the Redmen made their best showing against Beloit, but were overpowered, 36-18.
