Along the Tigers, Trail U RIVERSIDE-The Tigers started the season by fighting their way to a 6 to 6 tie that surprised everyone. Bassett made the tying touchdown by an 80-yard return of a kick-OU, with Keith Brown taking out the last tackler with a beautiful running block. Bassett's excellent punts helped keep the Ribs away from the goal throughout the game. 0 YORK-Inspired by the good showing they made in the Riverside game, the Tigers went on to beat York by a 13 to 0 score. Again Bassett ran wild,' this time on a 70-yard punt return that was good for a touchdown. He then threw a 30-yard pass to lack Brunick, a promising sophomore, for the second one. johnny Durant plowed through the line for the extra point, making the score I3 to 2. '- WEST CHICAGO-The whole team was on the beam in the second half of this game with the whole backheld fFaulkner, Durant, Bassett, and Keyesj making the touch- downs. Captain Faulkner looked especially good on a 70-yard march to the goal that consisted of gains that averaged I0 yards apiece. As it was a wet night, there were many fumbles, with Wheaton taking advantage of most of them. The game ended 24 to 0 with the Tigers in the lead. 0 'GENEVA-The Tigers started the game off with a bang by a trick play that had the Geneva team befuddled. Durant took the kickof, and then the whole team crowded around him as Bassett took the ball and ran 80 yards for a touchdown. The other Wheaton touchdown was made on a pass from Brunick to Bassett, who took it the remaining 25 yards to the goal. These touchdowns were not enough, however, as the final score read! Wheaton 12, Geneva 25. 0 SYCAMORE-The Tigers really had the Sycos baffled by their tricky plays and the excellent strategy of Captain Faulkner, who called them at just the right moments. Bassett made three tallies, two of which were on identically the same kind of play. Brunick made another, from his own 50 yard line, by one of the best broken-field runs of the season, while Duskin ran the hfth one over after taking a pass from Brunick. The score at the end of the game readf Wheaton 31, Sycamore 7. ' ST. CHARLES-After a hard fought battle, in which the line made one of its best showings of the year, the Tigers came off the gridiron in the front end of a 6 to 0 score. The highlight of the game was a double forward pass fBassett to Faulkner to Dunerj that set up the winning touchdown on the 1 yard line. Bassett's punting helped consider- ably in keeping the Saints in their own territory most of the game. 0 NAPERVILLE-Although the team lost this game 24 to 0, it fought hard all the way. The score wasn't so bad as it might seem, as the Indians had one of their best teams in ten years, and also remained undefeated at the close of the season. It was in this game that Keith Brown got an infection in his foot that kept him out of action for the rest of the season. 0 DUNDEE-Outweighed by a much heavier team, the Tigers again took it on the chin by a score of 20 to 7. The boys didn't get started until the last quarter when Faulkner, after receiving a bullet pass from Bassett, plowed the remaining 28 yards for Wheaton's only touchdown. The game was brightened by the fact that the Tigers completed seven out of twelve passes. 0 BATAVIA-The Tigers kept the tradition of always beating Batavia by running up a score of 19 to 7 against a passing attack that often held the Wheaton fans in suspense. The whole team looked good, as it stopped most of Batavia's backs at the line of scrim- mage. Bassett looked exceptionally well by making two of the scores, while Captain Faulkner finished his high school career in a blaze of glory by a 70 yard march to the goal for the other.
