WATsoN S'rEvENs Bnowbr Homecomings. Too, it was the largest score made against the Old Normal eleven in several seasons. The game was fairly close during the first half, but the second period saw a different' situation. The Southern Teachers machine worked without flaw during the last half in which 33 points were scored. Interception of wild Redbird passes led to the scoring of most of the Maroon touchdowns. Dago Eovaldi's punting featured the game with his spirals averaging S5 yardsg he kept the Redbird attack at bay and forced them on the defensive. The Maroons met and vanquished perhaps the scrappiest team in the conference when they won over the Irish of St. Viator, 12-0. From beginning to end the game was a tussle. Although outclassed, the Irish made their forward wall impregnable chiefly .. Om' Hlnrlrlrml 'l'lzi1ly'1'igl1l

LAUDER Sworrono Honciz a string of shutout victories which concluded only with the last game of the season. Combining efficient work in every department of the game the Maroon eleven scored against the Aviators at will. The Scott Field aggregation was composed of experienced players, many of whom were former college celebrities. Shanks of Scott Field especially exhibited ability in his several open Held runs. Five men contributed touchdowns to the cause of the Teachers. The final score read 32-0 for the Southern Teachers. Homecoming and the initial Little Nineteen Conference game probably prompted the Maroons to handle the old Normal Redbirds with very little care. Before a crowd of loyal celebrating grads and students the Southerners trounced the upstaters 39-0.

ROCKWELL STORMENT because of their fighting spirit. Too, the Maroon machine failed to function in the second conference game as it had functioned in the initial one. Abe Martin, co- captain, was absent from the Teachers' lineup which further handicapped the scoring possibilities of the Southerners. Foley and Patton, both backs, were injured and conse- quently removed from the game. The brunt of the battle fell on the shoulders of Dago who bore it well. It was his excellent punting that kept the Irish always on the defensive. Eovaldi and Lauder counted the Teachers' two touchdowns. In a return game played on the home Held the Maroons inflicted a second and more decisive defeat on the Cape Girardeau Indians. The score was 19-0. At no time during the game were the Southerners threatened by the much heavier team from the Missouri State Teachers College. Although the Maroons were tardy in starting their offensive, they soon developed a punch that was not to be denied. Even after misjudging a punt, Lauder distinguished himself by turning in one of the prettiest runs of the season. Abe Martin sailed around end for two of the S.I.T.C. touchdowns, and Dago Eovaldi accounted for one marker on a crash through center. Displaying a sweeping interference and an amazing aerial attack, the Maroons defeated Shurtleff at the Shurtleff Homecoming, 32-0. It was probably the best played game of the season for the Southern Teachers. Working as a machine they went around, under, and over for five touchdowns while holding Shurtleff to no score and few first downs. The Maroons were forced to punt but twice during the melee. Touchdowns came from long runs by Martin, and short line smashes by Edvaldi. Bricker also counted on a long pass from Dago in the waning moments of the game.
