place kicking the extra point, which was the margin of vic- tory. A pass Day to Marsullo scored for Elgin in the last period, but the attempt for the extra point failed. Wayland Old Grads in large numbers came back for the Homecoming game and they were all hungry for a Home- coming Victory as it had been seven years since such a thing had happened. Milwaukee Lutheran school provided the opposition and the visitors fought hard and well, but Way- land gridders were out to take this one for the returning alumni and they did 19 to O. Latisch passed to Weber for the first touchdown in the first period, the point failed. After a march put the ball on the one yard line in the second period, Latisch scored on a quarterback sneak and then place kicked the extra point. In the third period Ray Jones got away on a pretty 35 yard run for the third touchdown and the attempt for the point failed. Three conference wins in a row and the Wayland boys had visions of a championship had it not been for Milwaukee Country Day. The Milwaukee eleven was highly favored over the locals and the November 3 battle on Brown Field was much harder fought than the score indicates. Milwaukee Country Day won 18 to O, Jim Howard scoring touchdowns in the first and fourth periods and Tom Grossman scoring in the third. No after touchdown points were scored. That de- feat buried all hopes for a championship as the Wayland gridders prepared for their final game of the season. Wayland went to Lake Geneva for a game with North- western Military and Naval Academy and won 96 to 14 in a ding dong battle, little realizing that Northwestern Prep gridders would provide the upset to give Wayland a share of the title, a defeat of Country Day, Northwestern Military proved a worthy opponent. Land- rud scored a first period touchdown and Rauschert scored in the second with one after touchdown point being scored, but Wayland was trailing 14 to 13 at the end of the half, Northwestern Military having scored two touchdowns and registered both points. Wayland came back strong in the third period Latisch passing to Weber for the touchdown and rushing for the extra point to take the lead 90 to 14. Ray Jones did one of his fancy stepping acts in scoring an- other touchdown in the fourth period and the attempt for the extra point failed, Wayland winning 96 to 14 and finish- ing a most successful football season, the best in several years.
