M-...1... ..,.x. ,.-,. , . ., HUGHES JACOBSON KEBER MARKLE FOOTBALL - 111 , The Vikings scored again on a pass from Erickson to Nolan. A fumble by Bouldron on St. Martin's 29-yard line gave the Vikings another chance to score but Norman in- tercepted a p-ass from Erickson and ran to Bellingham's 35-yard line before he was brought down. It looked as though the Rangers would score when a 15-yard penalty and gains by Norman and Mertes gave them a first down on Bellingham's eight-yard line. There, however, Erickson dropped on a St. Martin's fumble and p-unted out of danger. The Vikings threatened to score when a series of passes and end runs placed the ball on St. Martin's 10-yard line. It looked bad for the Rangers, but another pass over the goal line lost the ball for the Bellingham Vikings, and although several valiant attempts Were made neither team seriously threatened the other for the remainder of the game. Erickson was the big star for the Vikings, while Cardwell in the backield made a good showing. Tenoski and No-rmal were the big guns for St. Martin,s. Froehle, who played both in the backiield and on the line, made a splendid showing in his defensive playing. O. S. C. FROSH Led by Rambling,' Ramponi, former dynamic little leader of the San Francisco Olympic Club-, the Oregon State Rooks succeeded in routing the St. Martin's Rangers, Friday afternoon, October 25, at Stevens Field, winning 39 to 0. The Rangers offered stiff resistance the first quarter until several starting players were injured and had to be replaced by inexperienced reserves. The Frosh scored their first touchdown after Little, fullback, had advanced the ball 25 yards on the two off-tackle plays. Ramponi rambled 21 yards around right end to score the second tally, and Davis converted, making the score 13 to 0 at the half time. The Rooks scored their third touchdown before the second half was two minutes old. Little packed the ball over after a series of line plays. Davis place-kicked the extra point. Ramponi was taken from the game with an injured shoulder, Dowler going in at quarter. Davis smashed over the fourth score early in the fourth quarter. His place-kick attempt 'was low.

W f- lf l f L X BROWN Bossa CONTRIS CUNNINGHAM FOOTBALL 1 1 1 KITSAP ATHLETIC CLUB SERIES HE dates October 6 'and 13 witnessed the two games which the Rangers p-layed with Bremerton Athletic Club. In both games the Rangers suffered defeat but only after hardly-contested struggles. The score of the October 6 game played on the Ranger Held was 20 to 6. The score of the game played at the Navy Yard city was 20 to 0. The Rangers, lack of reserves compared to the endless number of substitutes that the Athletics had at its disposal spelled Ranger defeats. The Rangers were thrown on the defensive in the October 6 game on the opening kick-off by a fumble deep- in their territory. A short pass from Meister to Lee scored Bremerton's first touchdown and the same combination clicked again in the fourth. Wagga punched the line for the other score. A perfect pass from Tenoski to Jacobson across the goal line scored for the Rangers in the third. The game on October 13 at Bremerton turned out in much the same manner as the first game. The sco-re was tied 0 to- 0 until the third quarter, when the Bremerton team with Guy Meister at their head, took the offensive. The outstanding stars for the Rangers for the first game were Tenoski, whose battering line plunges enabled the Rangers to score, Froehle, Norman, and Jacobson. Meister and Kettel starred for Bremerton. In the second game Norman and Tenoski featured for St. Martin's, and Guy Meister, former Whitman flash, again shone for Bremerton. A A BELLINGHAM NORMAL Led by Chuck', Erickson, quarterback, the Normal Vikings dashed up and down Waldo Field, Saturday, October 19, to defeat the St. Martin's Rangers, 19 to- 0, in a high class exhibition of football. The scoring started in the first quarter, when some nice gains by Cardwell and a pass from Erickson to Miller placed the ball on the four-yard line. Successive line bucks by Flowers and Erickson put the ball over. Shelton's kick on the try for point went wide. X 1 1 1

Mertes circled end for the second first down. Unluckily the Rangers fumbled, which ended their offensive threat. ' The lion-hearted Tenoski plowed through the Frosh line for another first do-wn in the fourth quarter, and made another first down after Sinko gained five yards on a lateral pass. Cap-tain Tenoski was the star on the Ranger squad. Big Jim Markle, tackle, Russ Smith, center, Walter Sinko, half, and Clyde Lewis, right guard, also played strong games. AMERICAN LEGION CLUB A thrilling contest was witnessed by a good-sized cro-wd on Stewart field in Aber- deen, Sunday, November 3, when the Rangers tangled with the 'Legion in a 6 to 6 tie score. Somebody in the pile was off-side when Gib- Skeate speared through the line to St. Martin's one-yard stripe. The Rangers took advantage of this break which enab-led them to prevent their opponents from scoring. The teams were well-matched and neither seriously threatened to score again in the Hrst half. It was not until the third quarter that things began to b-reak. First Chesty Grant fumbled a punt. The Rangers recovered and the .time-old udead man's play advanced the pigskin to the eight-yard line. Two do-wns netted but four yards and a bad pass enabled the Legion to throw the Rangers for a three-yard loss. On the fourth Atkinson threw Sinko for a ten-yard loss. Davidson punted and the fleet- footed Keber dodged a couple of necktie tacklers and was not b-rought down until he had lodged the b-all o-n the Legionis eight-yard line. Norman made seven yards through the line and Tenoski carried the ball over for the touchdown. The try for point was low. A pass from Davidson to Eddy was only stopped when Norman caught Eddy on the two-yard line. Skeate hurled himself over for a score but the pass for point was knocked down. The Legion threatened again when the ball was advanced to the twenty- five-yard line, but the Ranger line held and neither goal was threatened throughout the remainder of the game. Peterson starred for the Aberdeen squad, while Norman, Keber, and Sinko were the outstanding Ranger players. I
