In the third quarter almost the

The punt was very poor. travelling
only ten yards from the line of

a chance to start an offensive. They
drove deep into enemy territory.

Although the Belleville High
School football team had dropped
its first four ines OF the season,
they came up with their best play
OF the year as they held the power
full Roosevelt grid eleven to an 0 to
0 tie Thursday afternoon. The game.
played in Belleville, was unexcit-
ing with very few scoring threats.
Roosevelt's offense was hampered
considerably by the inspired play
OF the Belleville forward line. Time
and again, AL Burrell, chief ground
gaining ace for the Rough Riders,
was stopped at the line OF scrim-
mage for little or no gain and II
was chiefly his inability to break
through for long gains that kept the
team from scoring.
Soon after the kickoff Belleville
had its first chance to score but was
unable to capitalize on II. The op-
portunity came when Gelinski, left
end for Belleville. recovered a FUN
BILE on the 80 yard line. Wenzel
then went for five yards through

with a four yard gain. On the next
play Raymond broke loose to carry
the ball all the way 10 RooseveIts
four yard line for first down and
a goal to go.
The Rough Riders defense rose
to the occasion, however, and aided
by five yard penalty stopped the
Belleville offensive completely. They
took over the ball on downs but
we're unable to do anything with II
then for the remainder of the first
quarter. During the entire first
period Roosevelt was unable to pro-
coed beyond even their own thirty
yard line as the Belleville defense
stifled their attack. but in the sec
ond quarter they managed to get
past midfield as Skinner took the
ball from his own 81 yard line on
a double reverse to reel off rs

forced TO rely on II players. includ-
ing six backs and IL linemen. De-
spite this tremendous handicap, the
staunch Normal eleven played on
par with Its mighty rival.
But for couple OF semi-serious
injuries to key players, the Hurons
could be happy over their perform
ance. Quarterback Howard Syrett,
however. sustained a kidney injury
and was taken Immediately to Re-
ceiving Hospital. George Manitz.

forced out OF the game with a slight
brain conclusion.
Normal actually outplayed Detroit
in the first half, holding a 20 lead
as the third quarter got under way.
The Hurons scored their points
midway in the second quarter.
After a downfield march OF II
yards, the Ypsilanu yearlings
reached the Detroit nine. Clare
Krawczak, rugged Saginaw full
back. carried the ball to the one
foot line on two smashes through.
Syrett then fumbled on the next
play. and Detroit recovered. The
Titans attempted to punt out of the
danger zone, but End Benny Stan
den blocked the kick and rolled on
the ball for a safety.
U. OF d. concentrated all of It's
scoring into the first five minutes
OF the third period when they re-
covered two fumbles.
Detroit soon took up its initial
touchdown and followed with a
safety. Taking the kickoff after the
latter score, Elmer Maderick gal
loped SIS yards for six more points.
Another Huron touchdown run OF
SIS yards by Standen on an inter-
cepted pass was called back by the
officials. who claimed the ball had
bounced on the ground before Stan
den grabbed IL.
Standen and the three Huron
backs, Dean Allward, Howard Sla-
baugh and Krawczak, were the out
standing men on the field. Allward,

was the Hurons chief passer and
punter.
