The theme u this weeks write
up win be you can't play Sunday
football on Saturday nights bally-
hooing." Now comes the old cry
of the football players, fair wea-
Their friends, when we We're win
ming all our games everyone was
with US, but now that we have
lost a game everyone turns on us.
Although this does not refer to all
Of the players It was plain to see
that the Ubangi players We're not
up to par and that there was dis
sension in the ranks The players
were acting like individual players
instead of working together as
whole. Regardless Of this in my
mind and in the minds of all the
fans am sure the Ubangis are
still tops and the best team in the
community league.
Even with the added services of
Brennan King the Blackhawks lost
and it was the first time in seven
starts that their goal line has been
crossed. &C came after sustained
drive by Quentin Biddle who tore
holes through each side of the
Ubangi line to score standing UP
in the second quarter. The try for
point was partially blocked by
Ernie Lewis.
The line was weakened in the
second quarter when Rhino Naka-
mura was injured. He never re-
turned into the game.
In the last few minutes of the
first half Ernie Lewis returned
beautiful kickoff for II yards. The
half ended with the score 8 to 0
in the National Guards favor.
It wasn't until the last quarter
that the Ubangis finally woke up
but alas! it was too late. Sammy
Bruce went wild with sheer power
on two plays He was good for
thirty yards and two first downs.
Perkins on the next play was good
for seven yards. A lateral pass
from Perkins to Bruce was good
for first down. On the next play
pass from Bruce to King was
good for four yards. After this
sustained drive the Ubangis lost
the ball on the 30-yard line. Ac-
cording to statistics the Ubangis
attempted seven passes, completed
3, two were incomplete and two
were intercepted. The National
Guards attempted four and none
of them were completed.
There was sad atmosphere in
the stands as the gun went off and
the Ubangi players left the field
with their heads bowed for the
fans just couldn't believe that the
Ubangis were beaten.
We take time out at this point
to mention few people very close
ly connected with the team. First,
Noodles" Smith the hacker of the
team who is present at every game
and always brings a large party.
Without a moments hesitation,
Noodles" offered to back the team
rather than see it fall in some
one else's hands. Second, Bruce
Rowell who works all night and
spends the greater part of the day
looking after the team financially
and the players physically. AL
Lewis of fistic fame and Harper
CASTOR can be found every week in
the dressing room before the game
bandaging and rubbing down the
players and seeing that everyone is
well protected against injuries.
Football fans next Sunday at
2:30 p. m. not only will see the
Ubangis be out to avenge their
defeat, but this will be a grudge
battle for the Dog House team
has taken VOW not to be beaten
by the Ubangis so anything can
happen. Will you be there to see
it? The Ubangis will play the fea-
ture game at 2:3O p. m.
