in the game and they owned possession of the ball. Although it seems impossible, Paxton won 8 to 6. A Paxton player picked up a VVarrior fumble and ran 45 yards to victory. Bob Williams scored Watsekais lone TD. The Warriors really lived up to their name on October 22, as the OMS' Yellowjackets invaded Blake Field. This was VVatseka's first conference win. The VVarriors racked up 64 points and held the Yellowjackets to 7. john VVood scored 3 touchdowns and Frank Schaumburg and Wayne Roberts each made 2 TDs. Bob Seggebruch, Bob Rhoades, and Bob VVilliams each scored one TD. Bob Beisecker kicked 3 extra points and Wayne Roberts caught a pass for the other one. October 29 was the annual homecoming for the VVarriors and Gibson City was the opponent. Previous to this, Watseka hadn't won a game from the Grey- hounds since 1946. However, this time it was a different story. VVatseka dropped Gibson, 9 to 0. just before half time, Bob Beisecker and Gary Nelson tackled a Gibson halfback in his own zone for a safety and 2 points. In the third quarter Frank Schaumburg scored on a sweep around right end. Beisecker kicked the extra point and that was the ball game. The last conference game and the last game of the football season was played at Hoopeston on November 15. In the first quarter Hoopestonis players crashed on john Wood as he was attempting to punt. The attempt was blocked, picked up, and run back 25 yards for a touchdown. For the first and only time this season, the NVarriors were up against a definitely better ball club. Eventually, they came up on the short end of a 28 to 0 score. Watseka finished the schedule with a record of 5 wins and 3 losses. This was a very creditable record, considering the fact that Coach McKenzie had a very inexperienced team when starting the season. They came a long way in a short time and should have finished with a 6 and 2 record. In the VVauseca Conference they Won 2 and lost 3. l50l
