The fighting Warriors had another good day beating an unflashy Luther South team by 3 touch- downs. Luther was unable to gain a first down in their first three plays so they elected to punt. The Warriors took over first and ten on the Luther South 40 yard line. Our first play netted 3 yards, the second went for 30 on a quarterback option and on the third play of the game Groff hit paydirt. Full- back Dave Socash romped for 30 yards for our second T.D. just as the first half ended. In the third period Chet Stuart sprinted 35 yards from scrimmage to make the score 20-0 at the end of the period. The fall conferencei fourth quarter ended as each team scored a T.D. with Wendy Geurkink scoring for the Warriors. Heart break reigned as we lost our only game to Luther North, 6-O. Over-confidence and a fairly strong Luther North shut out the Warriors. The game was a give and take battle from start to finish with Wheaton unable to capitalize on a few good breaks. Going into the fourth quarter the score stood at 0-0 deadlock. Midway through the final period Luther North scored on the pass play that we had defenced so hard and long during the week. With four minutes to go the fighting Warriors made several valiant attempts to score but to no avail.

Ill rq 'g Ill CV! fx A J-Y it f We Wheaton Warriors quelled North Park's aerial attack. The Warrior secondary had a busy afternoon defending the aerial attack brought against us by the North Park squad. With the exception of five running plays, North Park tried whole-heartedly to down us through the air. However, despite their in- tentions the tables were turned and the Warriors were once again victors. The score was 28-12 with Socash scoring from the 20 on a buck play off right tackle. Ted Graff caught a touchdown pass from Westphal and Eddie Conyers took scoring honors with 2 touchdowns. Parker was a thriller. The Warriors were ready for anything from Parker, and were out to make sure that they weren't going to be too tough. Parker drew first blood after a long march with the final blow being a 5 yard plunge by Lowry. The Maroon and White fought back hard in the third and fourth periods scoring 3 times and converting twice, to win this crucial game 20-7. In the final game of the season every member of the squad had a chance to play. The game was with Glenwood who ended the season in second place in the White Division. The varsity played the first half and then were pulled out to watch the second and third teams play. The final score of the game was 40-0 with iust about every back scoring at least once. With the playing of this game our team and coach- ing staff brought another winning football season to a close. 48 Three Warriors crush North Shore's halfback as his own teammates look on.
