FCOTBALL SCHEDULE oil' from the Cadott Hornets and rolled T0 yards for the first T.D. A pass from Don Soderberg to John Maier moved the ball to the Cadott 10 yard line and from there Dan Winger romped over the goal line. However, the extra point failed. On the next kick-off the Hornets roared back for a 75 yard touchdown. The point was good, and at the half the score showed no favoriteg standing, Cadott- 7, Thorp - 6. In the third quarter, Cadott came back with the winning touchdown, and the game ended with a sad score: Thorp - 6, Cadott - 13. Although the Cards did not live up to their previous standards in wins and losses, it can be ala ' 1 iq, ,rm-A L said that, win or lose, the team practiced good sportsmanship at all times. The following Senior boys will not be avail- able for service next year: Neil Broeren, Carl Johnson, Bob Benzschawel, Richie Alger, Gordie Hansen, John Maier, Ronald Schultze, Leon Kotecki, Chet Przybylski, Justin Jawokicz, and Bernard Dobrzynski. But as stars leave there are more to fill in the vacated positions, so it is with confidence that we look to our underclassmen to take up where we left off. Congratulations are due Coach Gripentrog and the boys for a fine hard-fought season of football. mt' , . J . K b v vw H' ,W xg Q., 'Q....

FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Timm' AT SPRING VALLEY The Thorp Cards traveled to Spring Valley where they played their first game of the season in a downpour. Spring Valley scored a 12-0 lead in the first half, and only mid-way through the fourth quarter did the battling Cards begin to even this score. The first touchdown of the season for Thorp was made by our captain, Neil Broeren. The attempted extra point failed to meet its aim, and the game ended a few minutes later with the Thorp Cardinals on the short end of a 12-6 score. CHIPPEXVA FALLS AT THORP Our first home game of the season was the stage of a rough and tough battle between our own Tho1'p Cardinals and Chippewa Falls. On the second play of the game the Chippewa Cards ran 65 yards for the first T.D. In the first quarter the Chippewa Cards successfully broke through the Thorp line for three more touchdowns. However, none of the attempted extra point kicks were successful. It wasn't until the final quarter that our home team managed to put a dent in the scoring column by accurate passes from Don Soderbergg the first to John Maier, and the second to Gordie Hansen. Of the two attempted extra points, we gained one. Thus, another non- conference game ended with Thorp again on the short end of a 24-13 score. T1-IORP AT STANLEY For the traditional rivalry game this year, the Cardinals traveled to Stanley where, in a steady downpou1', the home team met their first conference defeat and their third straight loss. The Orioles copped their first seven points in the first quarter and six more in the second quarter. Although the boys fought hard to hold the record by again defeating the Orioles, the Stanley squad plus the rain proved to be too much for them. Page Forty NEILLSVILLI-1 AT THoRP Next on the agenda came Neillsville. This may be cited as our best game, as the weather was perfect, and we copped our first and only win of the season. Our home team racked up two touchdowns. The first came mid-way in the second quarter on a 10 yard pass from Don Soderberg to Gordie Hansen. The extra point kick failed to reach its mark. The second T.D. came on a sneak play by Soderberg f1'om the 2 yard line. With a successful kick for the extra point, the Cards completed their scoring. The Warriors staged a comeback by immediately breaking through the Cardinal line and scoring a T.D. The extra point attempt was not successful. This game was a bruising defensive battle on the part of both teams, but our own Cardinals proved to be too much for the Warriors. TI-IORP AT CORNELL Next we journeyed to Cornell to play their Homecoming game. This was a sad game indeed, for it seemed our boys couldn't get a start. The Cornell Chiefs hammered out a decisive victory by completing five T.D.'s and two extra points. So, the game ended with our home team short 32 points. OWEN AT THORP Rain again plagued the Cards as they went into battle with Owen. Owen scored six points in the second quarter and seven in the thirdg but Thorp failed to come through and score. Owen copped their first win from the Cardinals in ten years, on a rain-flooded gridiron. CADOTT AT THORP fHonzef-mningy Again the weather was against us, for snow and freezing temperatures prevailed throughout the day. The Cardinals received the opening kick- -eight
