Undefeated Luther was next. Our airtight defense easily set them at a standstill and they rallied to hold us to a 0-0 tie. Our best scoring chance was destroyed as George Fikeis's 25 yard dash down to the five yard line was called back due to a disputed penalty. Principia, a non-conference foe, came all the way from St. Louis to beat us by three touchdowns. They scored two gift touchdowns early in the first quarter on a tricky reverse. The Warriors slapped right back as Dave Lindberg took the ball 50 yards to the two-foot line from where Dave Johnson took it for the tally. The North Park game, the last for 13 seniors, was one we really wanted to win. We took the open- ing kickoff and marched 60 yards before we lost the ball on a fumble. We scored soon afterwards on a 4 yard plunge by Werner Von Bergen after we re- covered their fumble. In the second half our defense again checked them, and in the fourth quarter, George Fikeis, a consistent ground gainer through- out the game, scored on a 6 yard pitchout to climax a 2 win, 2 loss, T tie conference schedule. At the close of the season the Warriors swamped the other teams in the all-conference voting. The league's coaches selected seven Wheaton players on the all-conference teams. They were Dave Johnson and Jim Hanchett, ends, Frank Hicks, tackle, Jim McKellin, guard, Jay Hoppe, center, and Don Bul- lock and Dave Lindberg, halfbacks. Werner Von Bergen takes the ball around end for a first down against North Park Academy. I - '-fs! . ,,,fg2'.:jj,f.FLQf-0 4-. -s ?'Vw5?P'r-f ' f - Q ,L ,IV K ck ,xiii :,,P.f:':.,Ejf 18,1 4 I K.
