' l Mm Escape? Weaving, whirling Glenn Butters, sophomore back, [alls into a scmi- tircle o[ Viking opponents. Caught only temporarily. Butters swivels and side- steps out of the trap, burning off remaining yardage to a fourth quarter touch- down. A last minute field goal by Truss ivins this game for the Redman.

diampionship Chances , . . was the byword. Pessimism found no lodging in the Ripon sports scene. Boasting a formidable ros- ter of eighteen returning lettermen plus some fine sophomores. Ripon seemed to be headed for a great season. It was little wonder, then, that the respective 33-0 and 19-14 losses to Bradley and Coe put a slight crimp in many fans ' enthu- siasm. Concerned, but not demor- alized, the Redmen brushed these defeats off as bad risks and qot down to the business of their re- maining games. Win Streak Begins The hapless Cornell Rams were the targets of Ripon ' s victory- starved aggregation when the for- mer ventured here for the first home game of the season. A 52-6 barrage raised the Reds to a .500 percentage in the league standings and marked the then-unknown be- ginning of a winning streak that eventually led to a piece of the championship for the Ripon squad. Bill Brcnnan racked up four touch- downs that night, with Glenn But- ters, Bob Peters. Booby Born, and Ron Balej each adding an addi- tional tally, three of them on passes. Aggressive play bv the Ripon club enabled it to shoulder by the Monmouth Scots a week later. 21-12. Scoring all their points in the first half, the visiting Reds spent the remainder of the ball game holding down Monmouth scoring attempts. Butters and Brennan were good for a T.D. apiece, whereas tackle Bob Tiny Lieber realized a line- man ' s dream when he blocked a Scot punt and recovered in his hosts ' end zone for a score of his ovi-n. Truss was responsible for all three conversion kicks. Two up and two down, but just ahead lay the Beloit Buccaneers, a vastly improved team over that of the 19-49 campaign. Complete- ly checked by air and ground, however, the Buccaneers found themselves scuttled by a decisive 26-0 count. Vastly superior line play by the burly Red forwards was the chief reason for the vic- tory margin, as their aggressive play harrassed the Beloit offense and defense all night. End Bob Peters grabbed two touchdoun passes, and Bull Brennan once more demonstrated his consistent C ' KI. II. OOEIII IM. .Illili-lic Dirrdor and Foolhall Coatli
