LE MARS 27 CHEROKEE 7 Scoring first, for the fifth time of the season Cherokee started like they meant to win. However, a LeMars attack, which featured over 21 passes, started to Click and the final score was all the Bulldog's. The Braves ground attack, good at times, was led by Martin, XVebb, and Stiles while the Braves forward wall forced LeMars to the air. CHEROKEE 33 STORM LAKE 14 Losing by 14 to nothing and seemingly headed for another defeat, Cherokee suddenly turned savage and chased the Tornadoes all over the field. Nelson scored first. Then Chuck Stiles threaded his way 41 yards for another. Martin then tallied twice on bull-dozing smashes through the middle and finally, near the close, Stiles applied the coup-de-grace as he scored again around end. It was a terrific close to a dismal season and Coach Christopherson was carried from the field by the over-joyed Tribe. The resurrgent Brave barrier was again manned by Ryan, Johnson, and Hahn as well as a host of others. FOOTBALL SQUAD ' - , .
