M. A. kicked off. Ackerman shook loose for 30 yards to the 17, then after plunges by McPherson and Chuck Cohen, he took the ball over for the touch- down. The conversion failed and R. M. A. trailed. In the second quarter, a pass from Miller to Ackerman, sent B. J. over again for the touchdown, and McPherson chalked up the conversion as Roosevelt led 13-7. Before the quarter ended Roosevelt gave up two points by a safety on a bad center pass into the end zone. Midway in the second quarter Stilling recovered a fumble of Toulon and Ackerman took the ball over in one play for his third touchdown to make the score 19-7. Late in the last quarter Toulon went over for two touchdowns to snatch victory from the Cadets. The final mark for the Rough Riders was four wins and five losses, but still going into the books as one of the best marks in recent years. In the Roosevelt lineup there were nine seniors playing their last game. Special recognition should be given to George Engel, Dan Stilling, and Moe Guinn for their brilliant aggressive play in the line. Their sportsmanship and ability will long be remembered on R. M. Afs gridiron. FIFTY

A6'aaluzt.6alL VARSITY BASKETBALL SQUAD Standing: Coach Eberle, Young, Cohen, Johnson J. J., Ackerman, Watts, Stokes, Hyde. Sitting: McPherson H., Gow, Fitch, Thomas, Bale, Miller. The basketball season found R. M. A. pitting a green team against the cream of the Western Illinois area. With one returning letterman back after graduation, the task of building a polished outfit was a slow process. As usual the Big Red teams made their presence known at tournament time. Highlight of the season was a race track finish and a one-point victory over Chicago's Pullman Tech, Captain Dick Bale of Macomb was the team's most consistent scorer and was followed closely by Wally Miller, Warren Thomas, Garr, Fitch and Howy McPherson. Others breaking into the lineup were: Gow, Watts, Young, Greenberg, Johnson, Cohen, Stokes, and Ackerman. With the close of the basketball season seven seniors are writing a finish to their athletic competition. Wearing the Scarlet and Gray for the last time were Dick Bale, Chuck Cohen, Wally Miller, Howy McPherson, Bob Gow, Elliot Greenberg, and Jim Watts. 'While the loss of these outstanding performers will be noticed, underclass- men getting experience this year will carry the colors. They are: Johnson, Thomas, Stokes, Young, Fitch, Good, and the Dierking brothers. We wish those graduating sen- iors the best of luck in any future athletic activities and bid our underclassmen to carry on in the best tradition of R. M. A. FIFTY-ONE
