jnnfball FOOTBALL SQUAD-Top Row: Stokes, Wendt, Swanson, Rutherford, Dierking Lry., Blumfield. Second Row: Birkholz, Tragos, Dierking Lnd., Young, Watts, Nicholson, Staggs, Greenberg, Pace. Third Row: Eberle, Grand, Westveer, Fitch, Jagiella, Engel, Cohen, Ackerman, Jackson, Pollock, Wehner. Bottom Row: Streitmatter, Miller, Stilling, Hyde, Paradise, Parker, McPherson H., Bale. R.M.A. 7, Bradford 13 R. M. A. was defeated in their opening game by a polished Bradford team. Murphy of Brad- ford made both Touchdowns on 12 and 20-yard runs. Roosevelt's lone tally was made by B. J. Ack- erman, left halfback. He ran it over on a naked reverse from the 30-yard line. R.M.A. 13, Alexis 12 Miller's conversion, and an interception by Paradise, proved the edge for R. M. A. in their second contest. Roosevelt drew first blood in the opening quarter on a 13-yard plunge by Ackerman with Miller converting to make it 7-0. Starting the second half it took R. M. A. only 12 plays to carry the ball over once again, with a quarterback sneak by Miller. Alexis fought back in the fourth quar- ter with two touchdowns, but Paradise saved the day by blocking the conversion which would have tied the game. R.M.A. 19, Reynolds 13 ROOSEVELT WHIPS FLU, REYNOLDS IN ONE WEEK: A recovery on a Reynolds fumble by left end Gaar Fitch, steered the Rough Riders to a win over Reynolds high school. Reynolds scored first to take an early 6-0 lead. R. M. A. surged back with Chuck Cohen going the last 14 yards to tie the score. Miller's conversion then put the Rough Riders into a 7-6 lead. Ackerman started the fourth period off with an eight-yard touchdown plunge, McPherson duplicating this feat from the four-yard line a few minutes later, Kerras, of Reynolds, scored in the final minutes and also converted for the final reading of 19-13. R.M.A. 6, M.P.M.A. 43 Victims of lack of reserves, a 95-degree temperature, a two hundred mile bus ride and a platoon system ably exercised by a potent Morgan Park jaugernaut, R. M. A. was trampled by the much larger Chicago school. Although injured earlier in the game, Quarterbacks Wally Miller and Elliot Greenberg, in a gallant last quarter effort completed successive aerials, the last being carried by Warren Thomas for R. M. A.'s lone touchdown. Outstanding contributions by Scat-back B. J. Ackerman and Rookie Lineman Jim Parker helped to brighten the otherwise sorrowful day. R.M.A. 33, Onarga 20 Following a 77-yard march on the opening kickoff, R. M. A. went ahead and was never pressed throughout the contest. Outstanding play was made by Halfback Chuck Cohen on touchdown runs of 3, 12 and 10 yards. Other scoring was accomplished by Dick Bale, on a 35-yard end run and Wally Miller on a 19-yard spinner. Conversions by Cohen, McPherson, and Bale netted the total score of 33 points to Onarga's 20. FO RTY-S EVEN

jnnfball. 1 2 1 -- ' t . semis, VARSITY FOOTBALL SQUAD Backfield: Cohen, McPherson H., Miller, Ackerman. Line: Thomas, Westveer, Paradise, Jagiella, Stilling, Engel, Fitch. R.M.A. 13, Aledo 7 R. M. A. achieved a highly successful season as they upset their crosstown rivals, Aledo High 13-7. Aledo scored first on a 65-yard march with Brown making the touchdown. Behind 7-0, the Rough Riders bounced back in six plays to tie the score with Miller sneaking from the three and making the conversion. Later in the same period behind excellent blocking Miller went 25 yards to put R. M. A. ahead 13-7. Despite a last period drive by Aledo, R. M. A. held them to retain their lead and the ball game. Outstanding running by Ackerman, Cohen, and McPherson gave R. M. A. linemen the spirit to hold out in this last goal line stand. R.M.A. 18, Alleman 26 The downtown quarterbacks expected about 44 points to be scored in this game. They were right, but they didn't divide them quite right as they predicted something about 44-0 in favor of mighty Alleman of Rock Island. On a day that will long be remembered at R. M. A. the inspired cadets played the best game of the year. The Warriors from Rock Island started the game with a 49-yard touchdown run by Weittespach. The cadets fought back but the score at half time was Alleman 13, R. M. A. O. The Rough Riders opened the second half fighting mad and blasted the Alleman defense with reverses, end runs, and brilliant aggressive line play led by Paradise and Westveer. Thomas snagged a 15-yard pass in the end zone and Miller sprinted around end on a fake pass to make the score 13-12 for Alleman. Alleman shot back with two quick touchdowns but the cadets countered with another following a long run by Gaar Fitch on an end around play. The Rough Riders, although losing the contest, had much to be proud of, as they made a Wonderful showing against such powerful opponents. Halfbacks Cohen and Ackerman, and Engel, left tackle, contributed much to the Rough Rider attack by their sparkling running and defensive work. . if . . 1.1. -. 5 , ,ki 5 , J. V.
