R.M.A. 0 - PULLMAN TECH 26 The following week our team again went to the windy city, this time their opponent being Pullman Tech. The '41 team slashed out a 24-12 victory over Pullman Tech, but '42 turned out different for the cadets' team. The Tech boys had everything-speed, power, and a lot of spirit, and the cadets wound up on the short end of the score. Pullman scored first on an intercepted cadet pass and went over untouched. The other three scores were made on long runs, fast cutback plays and plenty of tricky ball handling. The cadets showed a spark of life as the second half opened, but a fumble dimmed their hopes of scoring. R. M. A. 7 - Elgin 0 Playing Elgin Academy in the cadets' an- nual Homecoming week-end, the team found Elgin to be as powerful as they had been the previous year. Those who saw the cadets de- feat Elgin Academy will tell you it was thrill- packed with action. Both teams hitting hard, driving hard, and running with all they had. With Scruton, R.M.A.'s back finally scoring in the third period on an end run and Ravenhill scooting over for the conversion. R. M. A. 26 - St. Joe 0 In the final game of the year, Roosevelt awaited revenge which they held in their minds for two years, to do what no other Roosevelt team had done, beat St. Joe. The boys did just that. Jerome, cadet quarterback, scored first for the Big Red Team , and R. M. A. led at the half time 6-0. In the last half of the game, Roosevelt collected 20 points on touchdowns by King who scored twice, and Ravenhill who scored once, the extra points were made by Jerome and Hulslander. This, the final game of the season, brought to a close the high school careers of nine senior lettermen who carried most of the burden. The graduating gridmen were: F.B., Kingg H.B., Scrutong E., Martin, E., Rosenbaum R.g T., Greeng T., Clausen, C., Nelson J.: G., Brand L., and E., Thomas. Fifty . ir
