,- -L .- - R. M. A. 7 Knoxville, a game which every mem- ber of the '42 team will remember for some time, was a game where the ca- det team had to come from behind MA- - to defeat a hard- hitting Knoxville team. Trailing by six points going in- to the fourth per- iod, our boys got going. A blocked kick by Rosenbaum and a cadet recov- R.M.A. 9 -- MORGAN PARK 0 After a week of hard practice and with only one game experience, a wiser, tougher cadet team journeyed to Chicago to take on a bitter rival, Morgan Park Academy. The generals hit hard and early in the game, Ros- enbaum and Nelson bringing down a Morgan Park back behind his own goal for an early two points for the cadets. The cadets furthered their slim lead with an off-tackle score by King, who also went over for the extra point. Morgan Park fought hard but the Roosevelt team quelled each threat. Scruton, Roosevelt's speedy back, high-lighted the game with a beautiful 60-yard punt return behind some nice blocking. Runners-up to Park in the Mid- West Conference, the Roosevelt foot- ball team ended the 1942 season with it record for four wins and one de- eat. The '42 squad was successful in doing what no other R.M.A. team had done, beating St. Joe. The cadets ran wild that day, downing their old rivals 26 to 0. Traveling to the Windy City, the cadets met their greatest rivals, Morgan Park Academy, and plowed them under, 9-0. Coach Pembrook did a good job of building a new backfield, and organ- izing a strong line that rolled over all Itheir opponents except Pullman ec . - KNOXVILLE 6 ery set up the scor- ing play, King pass- ed to Ravenhill to tie up the game, and the cadets forged ahead when King smashed over for the victory point. All the play- ers will agree that this was the tough- est game of the season with each team substituting freely because of the casualties dur- ing the game. - .. . - . . l
