two won.
Prospects, were not any too rosy
when Davis called his Fickeftail
squad out at the opening OF the 1929
season. There were plenty Of candi-
dates and a veteran sbackReld, but the

ship, taking the annual game between
the two schools Z to 0, on a slippery
field. The last, game of the season
was played with Marquette at Mill
