Though inexperienced, they dropped the Redskins 13 to 6. Bob Williams tallied both touchdowns and also the extra point. Milford journeyed to Watseka on September 24. The XVarriors had waited for this game for a long time and they jumped on the Bearcats for two touch- downs in the first half. Milford scored in the last period to make the final score 12 to 7. Frank Schaumburg scored both Watseka touchdowns. The NVarri0rs displayed their talents on the Gilman Owls gridiron on October 1. Not a spectator left until after the final whistle had been blown as Watseka finished in spectacular fashion, scoring with only 2 minutes left in the game. The final score read 13 to 12, in Watseka's favor. Bob Williams and Ken Townsend each scored a TD and VVayne Roberts kicked the extra point. October 7 is a night all Watseka football fans would like to forget. That was the night the Warriors took the long trip to Rantoul. The Eagles turned it on and trounced the WVarriors 33 to 0. Despite the lop-sided score, the Eagles were not much better than Watseka. VVatseka, on October 15, motored to Paxton for their second conference tilt. It wasnit a very pleasant night for a football game as it rained during the first half of the contest. The VVarriors were ahead with only 30 seconds left to play 1491
