Chet Stewart 150 lb. back Merold Westphal 160 lb. back John Novak 155 lb. back Continuing their winning streak, the powerful Warriors trounced Luther South 33-O. On the first play from scrimmage, Kraft scampered 87 yards for his initial touchdown of the day. Later in the first half, running out of the half-back slot, he toted the pigskin over again. Little John Novak had a field day against the Luthers as he romped for three T.D.'s. Coach Harris substituted freely and many of the second and third string boys saw action. Despite being plagued by the Asiatic flu, Wheaton downed a previously undefeated North Park team 22-O in a rain. We defensed their passing offense perfectly to hold them scoreless. Kraft and Stewart performed the honors for the winners and a safety was picked up in the second half to complete the scoring. Maintaining their excellent defensive record of only 13 points scored against them in 6 games, the Academy fellows whipped Walther Luther 33-O. Walther threatened our goal line several times but were unable to succeed. Stewart continued to be the leading scorer in the conference by making two tallies while Novak and MacDonald scored one a piece. The Academy team came through and won their last and most crucial game by edging North Shore 19-7. Strong defensive work and good line play once again were vital factors in the Warrior's triumph. Five plays after we got the ball Stewart went off tackle for his first T.D. After the kickoff, North Shore failed to move the pigskin and were forced to punt. The ball rolled dead on the three from where our boys advanced 58 yards before punting. Later West- phal recovered a fumble and a few plays later passed to Carmean for the T.D. The conversion failed as the score stood 13-0. Midway through the second half, Stewart carried it over again from the one. With minutes remaining, all-conference half- back Ron Rosset weaved his way through the Warrior's forces and scored their lone T.D.

This year's Junior Varsity did better than last year by coming up with two victories. Al- though Mr. Benson's team was made up mostly of freshmen and sophomores, much potential and determination could be seen for future years. Coach Harris is looking forward to having many of the J.V. boys on the Varsity team for the coming season. The fellows got off to a rough start in their six game schedule by dropping their opener to Immaculate Conception, T3-0. Typical of Acad- P. S. L. CHAMPS Novak totes the pigslrin over as Kraft watches. emy football teams, our defense held, and the Squires got only two T.D.'s while we failed to score. Repeating their previous score, the J.V.'s lost to a tough Luther North eleven the next week by a 13-0 edge. But in their next encoun- ter, the Academy boys came through with their first victory in two years by downing Luther South T2-6. Freshman Dave Sullivan performed the honors for the winners by scoring both T.D.'s.
