Oech, who replaced him, altho the big
sharpshooter got into things and made4
several good gains. Dan Smith was
steady in his passing at center and
played good game both on offense and
defense.
In the backfeld Larkin was playing a
good advantage. He located Ames
weak spots and kept them in mind,
much ground gaining coming as a re,
suit. He was not called upon to boot
often, but when he did he sent the ball
well down the field and well up:
Schuknecht played star fullback on
offense and was responsible for some
mighty tear-ups in the Ames line. On
defense he Jumped into the secondary
work with rush and assisted in piling
up several Of Ames heavy formations in
slashing style. $ |'.'..: ~
