IN A HUDDLE It was DeKalb's misfor- tune to play Rockford when the Rabs were at the height of their power. journeying to the Barb City with a fighting spirit to turn back the cohorts of the Orange and Black, the Rabs came, saw, and conquered their opponents in the biggest score of the season, 45-O. Five Rabs broke into the scoring column, while Nordstrom led the list of ground gainers with l68 yards from scrimmage to his credit. Swanson, cap- tain of the home team, played the best game for the losers. 'fOrrie,' Nordstrom was selected by the Big Seven coaches as the most fitting man to occupy the Conference fullback position.
