On a rainswept Gocrke field where the mud was so deep the water boy needed a canoe, the Quandtmen made Whitewater their next victim. It was Koehn and Curry again, with the help of big Joe Haidvogl, who made the Quakers holler uncle”. The victory put the Pointers on a 50-50 basis in the conference, with a better than .500 average, and with a good chance of downing Stout. But the Stout team was rough and ready and when the final whistle blew, the score was 19-19, and Point finished conference play with a .500 average. The following weekend the new bus carried our representatives to De Kalb, where the De Kalb teachers gave ours a lesson in football. This ended the Pointers’ season and left only the all conference teams to be picked and a captain to be elected. Fuzzy” Emmerich, a most likeable and deserving player, was the team’s choice as captain, while Harold Neiczel’s spectacular line play placed him on the all conference team. His mad charges remain in the memory of all who have seen him play and have made him a C.S.T.C. all-time great. Not much publicity is given to our unsung heroes of the line, but we had more than our share of talent with three ace centers in Gaulke, Scheel and Brunsman, all capable of bruising, line backing play. Pat Love’s pow-erful blocks enabled Point’s backs to gain through the center, and with the help of Lorenzen and Jelinek, who had only to fall down to stop any opposition from gaining over the tackle spots, our Pointers held the line. Every man was capable, and even though all were not rewarded with letters and publicity, all have played in a game or two and have a team of friends, developed by the common emotion acquired in the flush of victory or the dismalness of defeat..... Eau Claire won the conference championship. Cheerleaders Hubbard, Morris, Rcbclla, Sanncs, Brown, I)., Faucctt, Kusserow, Rybicke, C, Gilbertson. G. Hamclc 19
