The Mountaineers of st.
Mary's were not so mountainous
Sunday, at least as far as the
boys from St. Francis De Sales
of Detroit were concerned, and
as a result, the home town team
suffered their first loss of the
year, 10 to O.
After receiving the DeSales
kickoff on their own 25-yard
stripe, the Mountaineers were
held cold and forced to kick. Re-
ceiving the kick on the DeSales
35-yard line, the visitors i'm
mediately advanced to the st.
Mary's IS, from where left half
back Romeo Bernard went over
for the first visitor score. The
pass try for the extra point was
unsuccessful.
Francis D'Luge of the Noun
taineers received the DeSales
kickoff on his own 40-yard line
and advanced it to the visitors
46-yard stripe. Here the. Bathers
were held fast as result OF
weakness in their line and a
strong De Sales line. The first
quarter ended with the boys
from Detroit in possession Of the
ball on their own 29-yard line
after receiving a quick-kick
from st. Mary's.
AIR ATTACK FAILS
Held by the Mountaineers, the
DeSales eleven failed to gain a
needed yard on fourth down,
and the ball went to st. Mary's
on the visitors 29-yard line. The
Mountaineers were unsuccessful
in ar attempted air attack, and
the second quarter ended with
DeSales in possession of the
ball on their own 25-yard line.
A recovered DeSales tumble
by the Mountaineers on the viSi-
tors 23-yard strip failed to
prove of worth to the home
team in the opening minutes OF
the second half, and the Detroit
ers took back the ball on their
own 22-yard line. From here
De Sales put on drive that
threatened to score, and after
successive gains placed the pig
skin on the st. Marys 20. Here
their drive stopped, however,
and the Mountaineers took the
ball. But it did them no good,
and they were stopped flatter
than pancake as result of
their weak forward wall. D'Luge
lost ground on three successive
plays and it looked almost as if
the home towners were about
vanquished. The third quarter
ended with ST. Mary's in posses
sion Of the ball and being forced
to kick.
The Mountaineers' line started
10 tighten-up in the fourth quar-
ter but not enough, however,
and DeSales scored their second
touchdown after quarterback
Erwin Herbert returned a st.
Mary's Is yards to the Noun
taineers' 22-yard line. Herbert
then gathered eight more yards
through center and on the next
play, fullback Al Quinn went
around his own left end for the
visitors second touchdown TO
make the score IL to 0. De Sales
failed in the try for extra point.
ANOTHER DRIVE
All the scoring was not over
for DeSales, and after the
Mountaineers were halted on
their own 39-yard marker, the
Detroiters put on another drive
from there to score again.
Twelve and 15-yard gains by
halfback Jack Ropen and Her
bert, put De Sales on st. Mary's
12-yard line, from where H.
bert went through center to
make it l8 to 0 in favor of De-
Sales. The attempted drop-kick
for the extra point was unsuc-
cessful. The game soon closed,
and q saddened st. Mary's squal
called it a day.
All the scolding should not go
to the Mountaineers' line, how
ever, as the backfield, including
D'Luge was far below par.
The starting lineup for the
Mountaineers was: Ray Govaere
and Dick Bates, ends; Charles
Frank and Jack McQuade,
tackles; Vincent Petitpren and
Eddy Miller, guards; Eddy Miles,
center; Kenny DuBay, quarter
back; Jimmy Medium and Ber-
