The Independents did not lack
brtlliancy, even against their infe-
rior opponents. Every man on the
team played strong, heady game
and assisted materially in every
play called by Quarterback Mark
Devlin, who, it must be understood.
was running the team at a great
disadvantage. Devlin did remark
ably we'll and contributed several
long gains. We're it not for the In
dependents besetting weakness in
receiving the forward pass the score
might have been much larger, for
Devlin shot at least Is passes that
missed fire.

proved to 'tri-city fans that he, if

best line-plunging OF the season and
was always dependable for short

agree that next year this players
real identity will no longer be Sc
cret and that he will make an ex-
cellent acquisition to the Independ-
ents.
Oke Smith and ODE Wenig PLAYED
the best game Of their lives. Oke

every time they elected to punt.
Wenig contributed a brace Of touch
downs-one on recovered blocked
punt behind the collegians' goal
line, and the other on the receiving
end of a forward pass.
