Bill Hosier, junior end, was outstanding In the offensive and defensive play and was in the Maroon's backfield before the Mustang ball carrier could hardly get away. Pass Attack Fails Compton, Junior quarterback, and Machin, another junior quarterback, intercepted Maroon passes to contribute to the failure of the Salina passing attack.

Salina attempted 17 aerials and completed only three. Manhattan completed seven out of 11 attempts. Sallna won the toss and fearful of letting Grimes get his hands on the ball for a touchdown sprint, elected to receive. The Maroons returned the klckoff to their own 33 yard line. A few minutes later, Compton intercepted a pass and the Indians definitely threw a scare into Sallna with an end run by Dallinga that went to the Salina 28.

Although in the Jayhawk League cellar, the Indians played one of their best games of the season, and were on the Wamego ten yard line three times.

They lacked the power to score, however. Vigola was their sparkplug and once ran 43 yards to the Wamego ten where he was hauled down by the fleet Sackrider, Wamego back. Raiders Click The Red Raiders also played a good, alert game, and were in scoring position several times, being on the Osage City ten yard stripe when the first half ended. Bussart, star Wamego back, was on the sidelines because of injuries sustained in a previous game. Wamego was ahead in yardage 286 to 199, first down 13 to 9, and this victory gives the Red Raiders third place in the Jayhawk League.
