On October 28, Coaches Raasch and Burke took the team to Canby, and th-ere was a battle royal of passing and touchdowns. The next game, with St. James on November 4, was another victory for the Tracy Scrappers. The last game of the season, the annual battle with Marshall on Armistice Day was a rather disappointing affair with Marshall winning 20 to 0, but that isn't :the whole story of the game.
