Two of the games— Waverly and Tlptoiv—were fairly close In score, but Marion had command of both contests throughout.Mt. Vernon needn't feel badly about this contest. The Mustangs fought the Indian* for every toehof ground galnod. Only once did Lcs Hippie* boys shake a ball carrier Into the secondary for a kingtouchdown run. Thla one, by Hendrickson, aophomore halfback, occurcd late in the contest after the visitors had been Mrcd by the constant hammering of three full Marion teams.DApth certainly hasn't been a problem for this ball club. Whenever a regular was Injured or did not feel like playing there was always. at least one boy ready, eagbr and waiting to take his place:Such was the case Thursday night. Jerry Cox, top notch lefttnckle^ filled to show up for prac-lay and Tuesday nights, dress for the game, butHe didn't he wasn't mined. WUbur'Brislawn. 185 pound Junior tackle, took Cox' place and filled In more than adequately.Marlon* sophs, also an outstanding unit, played part of nearly every game over the nine tilt haul. Such boys aa Ray Fuller, Tom Peiffer, Hendrickson, Rich Schluet-er, Jerry Clark, Burs Clark, Dove Williams, showed up well In thevarsity gamee.Ron Altenberg, Marlon* greatleft halfbuck, grabbed the opening klckoff Thureday and tore up themiddle Of th« field, broke clear a» the Mt. .Vernon 48. butand contlhued ’ on down to losers', 23-yard lint. HoWevSr, three plays later Mahon fumbled and ML Vemon recovered on thetr ownDick Kruse. 180 pound Maroon fullback, punted but to the Mt. Vemon 43. ■It was then that the MMstengs found out why Marlon ran rampant over Its opposition this year. Altenberg took, a pttchout from Quarterback Daroll Fallor andraced to the ML Vemon 14 yard line before he was pushed out of bounds. After Doug Oxlas picked up four yards, Fallor tossed an aerial to Tom Hutton, right end, (or the TD. Altenberg hit his fifth straight extra point over the last two games.Mt.

It looked like waste paper. Written on one side was the date, August 20. 1888. Above this was written predictions for the WOUC football aM basketball season. The football schedule recently being completed, I decided to look at myr,w£,dfsrn*fcow toopWell, my first two choices were good: Marlon won the conference grid title and Anamosa placed socond. From there on you can't get me to admit a thing. One placedo. That Is stop Altenberg from scoring on a reverse or buck play over the right aide of the Marlon line, where Harry Moore. 20* pound tackle opens such huge holee.Sturdy line play by Rog«rSchnit-tjer. rugged Mustang left tackle,and Kenny Kailhan. guard, kept AUenberg* TD play on tbc shelf all night.Marlon tried Altenberg there In the second period from the Mt. Vernon 3 yard line, but Ron made It only to the six before Schnlttjer hauled him down. However, Roger's work was all In vain as Jordan crashed up the middle for the score on the next play.The Marion version of the Hlp-plcmen counted twice more In the first half. Oxlas got one from the one yard Una. after Bob Wilson recovered a fumble on the Mt. Vemon 32 yard line.Wilson scored on a quarterback sneak from the three Just before the half ended. Marlon threatened again Just seconds before the Intermission after Steve Smith, Junior end, Intercepted a pass on the ML Vemon 48 Schiueter, Hendrickson and Fred Weber moved the ball quickly to the losers' eight, but the clock was against them and the drive died af that spot at the hands of the official timer, Ken Ottlng.There was no scoring In the third period, but Marion counted three tlmee In the fourth canto. Wilson scored once more from the ten yard Hne. Hendrickson ran 82 yards for his marker.Fallor scored the last one. Just He and theother than their, ry Brook., left quarterback tht kldaplay*.Brooks fired a long pass to Fail-or, who was playing left end, and DareH ct-adad the Mt. V«r|U)n secondary for the score.

Tipton wasn't listed In third spot, which was where they actually flnlshsd.As for basketball. I wont admit or reveal a thing until 1 have had a chance to see who wins. If the placlngi aren’t too bad. Ill reveal thoee at the close of the cage season, otherwise you wont hear me say d word.WaMaC football wasn’t too lough for Marion thla season, with the possible exception of Tipton, but don't think the conferencewasn't “up In the sport. Remem er. recently this scribe said thatthe WaMaC schools won seven of eight games In their openers. Winners included everyone but Independence. who lost to Oclwdn.Anamosa dumped DeWItt of the Illowa conference. The Duhawks finished In third or fourth place In that league. Manchester won hut one gsma this season, defeating highly rated Elkader of theUpper Iowa conference. Maquo-keta beat second place of the Illowa conference. Vinton dumped Belle Plulne. third ulacc winner In the South Iowa Cedar League. Monlicello trounced Mt. Vemon, second place winner In the Eastern Iowa Hawkey* conference. Tipton dumped downtrodden West Liberty badly. The Tigers gave the Comets their worst beating of the season.Champion Marlon tripped Waverly. co-tltllst in the tough Northeast Iowa conference. Waverly undoubtedly improved over the season but so did Marion. The 0-0 score over the Go-Hswks doesn't really Indicate the one-sidcdness of the game.Average*Ball carrying averages for ML Vernon contest lost Thursday evening were good. Rich Hendrickson, •odbomore^. halfback, topped all carriers vrith an average of 23.7 yafds per try. He carried the ball 3 times for 71 yards. This included«2 y*M t oochdown jaunt in the fourth parted.

One WaMaC conference player, told me thtei “Marlon Is truly uk great That line moves - awfully.y, If Franklin high school In ’lt;kMar Rapids la better than than Marion, I wouldn't want to play them. Marion was tough enough for me.” We aren't about to argue whether Franklin or Marlon Is the better team, but that the way this young man felt about the Indians after playing them this fall.You Just can't laugh off guys like Bin Dougherty Terry Mc-Enxny, Jerry Cox, Larry Brooks. Tom Hutton, Harry Moore, Ron Prescott. Bob Malnkr and others.The. kids knew what their Job was and they went out and did it, without complaining about the back* getting all the credit. Don't think for a minute that Fallor. Altenberg. Oxlas, Jordan and Wil-'t appreciate the fast rugged line moving dotvnflcld In front of them.It la eaay for a guy to brag after the season Is over and basketball Is abbut ready to start. 1 feel like boasting a little, however. I think these guys can lick most of the teams In the state this year.I can sky this because It Is too late In the season i0 prove It otherwise.NORTH STAR_Prairie Chapel Sunday school perfect attendance pins woreawarded Sunday morning to the i Ruthng: 4-year pin to Kuth Ann Hann; 3 year pins to Carol Novak.
