FOOTBALL i 1951 FOOTBALL Despite un-organization the varsity fought Momence in their season opener. Momence won 12-0. They scored both TD's in the last few minutes of the final quarter. The next game, with Milford, the Warriors won easily, not only scoring on their second play but adding 3 more TD's to insure their lead. As the game ended, the Warriors were out in front 26-0. Rantoul dropped the Warriors in their next grid battle. Rantoul tallied 20 points in the first half as they rolled on to win. However, the second half was a different story as our fighting team out-played the visiting team in all departments. The final' score was 27-12 in Rantoul's favor. Gilman tasted defeat at the hands of the Warriors. Both teams were fighting hard but only Watseka could punch across a TD that counted, Gi-lman scored their 2 points as they caught the Warriors behind their own goal for a safety. Gilman could not score a TD to beat the Warriors as they won 7-2. Paxton was the next game on the schedule. The Mustangs drove across the only score of the game as they won the battle 6-0. The Warriors were in their own territory and managed to stave off any further scoring drives by the visiting team. Both teams showed much determination as they fought to win. Onarga Military School showed enough power in the grid battle with the Warriors to win the encounter 13-6. There were no scores until the last quarter as O.M.S. scored the first TD. Right away the Warriors with a TD iust scored evened up the score. However, O.M.S. came back and scored another TD and added the extra point to win by a score of 13-6. The Warriors traveled to Gibson City minus two of their key players, Bill McGill and Dick Fransisco. The Warriors, in spite of their losses, fought hard and had shown some good defensive play. The Warriors offense picked up yardage too. However, they could not score any TD's. Gibson City scored 34 points to make a grid score of 34-0. Hoopeston was our last and final game for the seniors. It was a hard fought football game. Hoopeston scored first but the Warriors were not to be out-done and evened the score up with a TD after a drive up the field from their own 27 yard-line. Once again the visitors tallied and once again the Warriors scored. The game was tied up 13-13. With 3 minutes left to play the Corn- ierkers scored twice to make a score of 27-13 in favor of the Cornierkers. 1951 Football Schedule We They We They Momence 0 12 Paxton 0 6 Milford 26 0 O.M.S. 6 13 Gilman 7 2 Gibson City 0 34 R antoul 12 27 Hoope ston 13 27 43
