Richmond, Ky., Oct. 14. -The Maroons of Eastern Teachers College kept their rcc0rd of not having been scored on this season clear as they romped to a 47-0 victory over the Central Normal team from Danville, Ind., here this • afternoon . The Maroons toyed with the visitors from the opening minute when they took the ball on their 49 and drove to a touchdown in .f.our plays. 1i'rom then on the Rankin team scored almost at will, at the same time never allowing the visitors ~ threaten. The Eastern offense was somewhat smoother than in the battle with East Tennessee Teachers a week ago, but still down field blocking left much to be desired. Kemp Scores First. • Carl Kemp, former Louisville Manual star, went over for the first score early in th,e first quarter. Wyatt "Spider" Thurman sparked the drive with a 32-yard run to put the ball on the Central Indiana eight and Kemp plunged ver on the third try from the . -yard line. After the kickoff, received by the visitors, the Maroons took; the ball on their 36 and scored in nine plays, the longest run being a 22-yard jaunt by Co-Captain Walter Hill on an end-around play. Bob Mowat went over from the one-yard line after he had planted the ball there with a 16yard drive. Hill placekicked the extra point after the first score, but missed the second. Hill Takes Pass for Score. Early in the second quarter 1 Eastern reco ered an Indiana fumble on the visitors' 26 and on the second play 'I'hurman passed to Hill for the score. Hill again kicked goal. John Saad, substitute center, intercepted a pass and ran 45 yards for the next Maroon marker the last of the first half. mii booted the point to make the score 27-0. Eastern received and Mowat cut back for 22 and a first down on the visitors 49. Thurman dashed 15 yards and then passed to Carl Yeager, end, for the score. Hill booted the point. Score In Six Plays. A penalty for offside caused a 36-yard touchdown run by Thur- 1 man to be called back as the third quarter ended, but it only delayed matters a few minutes for, after an exchange of punts, the Maroons took the' ball on the Central 47 and in six plays went over for the score. This time Hill's kick was wide. The final score was Made on the prettiest play. Taking the ball from scrimmage on the visitors' 36, .Mowat broke off left tackle, did a nice bit of sidestepping to reverse his field and scampered the distance well-protected by , ,lockers. Feinstein passed to Gordon ior the point. Makes 13 First Downs. Eastern made 13 first downs to three for Central Indiana, one of which came on a penalty. Eastern gained 297 yards rushing while losi~g 14 f~om .-crim~age. c:;entral \Eastern Wins \19-0 Over E. Tennessee Eastern Is Easy Winner Thurman Passes And Runs Maroons To 36 To 7 Triu mph Thurman and Kemp Rip Buccaneer Line Special RICHMOND, Ky., Nov. 12-Coach Rome Rankin's Eastern Teachers College Maroons celebrated Homecoming Day here this afternoon by turning loose a running and passing cyclone named Thurman on the Indiana State Teachers eleven and rolling up a decisive 36 to 7 victory, Eastern scored two touchdowns in each quarter except the second when most of the second team was in the game. Indiana got its lone marker in that period when an Eastern pass from center went over Thurman's head and the visitors recovered on the Maroons' eight-yard line. From that point, Fabion, fullback, carried the ball over on three plays. Thurman ran and passed the Indiana Teachers dizzy. In the first quarter he tossed a :forward pass to Yeager from the Indiana 38-yard line and Yeager, taking the heave on the 10, galloped over for a touchdown. A few minutes later, Thurman, back in deep punt formation, broke loose and ran 69 yards to a touchdown. • Beginning the second half, Eastern r !Covered a fumble on its own 46yard line and after Kemp had gainet: five yards, Thurman broke loose ae:iin and streaked 49 yards to a touchdown. Later in the same period, after Indiana's Teachers were backed up to their own one-yard line on two successive 15yard penalties, Eastern received a punt on Indiana's 34. Thurman returned it four yards and then on the next play passed 30 yards to Ardich for another touchdown. In the fourth quarter, Thurman kept up his dazzling work. After his team advanced the ball to the Indiana 30, he dropped back and sent a 30-yard pass to Scott for a touchdown. A little later, after Elder intercepted Vogel's pass on Indiana's 40, Thurman passed to Gordon who dashed to the Indiana eight-yard line before he was dragged down f:·om behind. From that point Luman went over on the first play standing up. Eastern failed to add an extra point after any of its six touchdowns. The air was filled with the football during the game. Indiana's Teachers tossed 32 passes, completed 11 and seeing five intercepted, while Eastern tossed 19, completing eight and getting one intercepted. Despite the lop-sided score, Eastern's victims made nine first downs, same as the total made by their conquerors. About 2,500 fans, many of them Eastern graduates, saw the game. Johnson City, Tenn., Act. 8 (JP) -Sparked by "Spider" Thurman, • swivel-hipped halfback, and Carl Kemp, hard-charging back from Louisville, Eastern K e n t u c k y Teachers romped to an easy 19-0 v i c t o r y over East Tennessee Teachers today. Thurman, all-Kentucky b a c k last season, scored two touchdowns, one on a 19-yard jaunt through the line and the other on a 25-yard dash. Thurman passed to Yeager, towering end, for the third marker. The fleet footed Kentuckian teamed with Kemp in numerous other threats, each ripping off several long gains in midfield. Thurman also did most of his team's passing. He threw seven passes, completed two of them for 11 and 15 yards, had two intercepted and three were incomplete. Bucs Fail to Gain. The local Teachers were completely bottled up on attempts to gain through the heavy Kentucky line. Only once did a Buccaneer get further past the line of scrimmage on a line play than five yards . Three passes from John Lovegrove brought Bue supporters to their feet, one good for 26 yards, another for 13, and another for seven. Kentucky's first touchdown was scored late in the first period when Thurman passed to Yeager from the 11-yard line. It followed a dash up the field that started on their own 42-yard stripe. The visitors came back strong in the third, marching up the field from their own 39 to Teachers 19, from where Thurman took it across. The third t ouchdown came shortly after Thurman had intercepted a pass on his own 41. He raced across from the Teachers 25-:vard marker. The KE:1tuckians led in first downs, 14 to 5.

With the Maroon frosh carrying the ball on every play, the varsity app eared only so-so in · stopping their plunges, but Coach Rome Rankin will be satisfied Saturday if they show the same defensive strength that they exhibited against Morehead last week. Injuries which are not healing j properly are handicapping the Eastern squad. "Spider" Thurman, ace back of the Maroons, is still suffering from an infected foot. The infection is yielding to treatment, however, and Thurman may see action during the game. Jack Merlino, Colorado boy who was injured early in the season, may get the call to replace Thurman in the starting lineup. Carl Kemp's injured ribs remained quite sore today and it appeared doubtful whether he would be able to play Saturday. Walter Hill's severe cold was responding to treatment but he was very weak and remained in bed today. Coach Rankin announced that officials for the Western tilt will be Gayle Mohney, of Kentucky; Dalton Williams, of Louisville, and William Hickey, of Kentucky. The game will be called al 2 o'clock.

Richmond, Ky., Oct. 29.-The ''hawg rifle" stays in Morehead but the celebration was held by Eastern. The embattled Eastern Teach;2rs College Maroons this afternoon held the favored Morehead Eagles to a scoreless tie in one of the hardest fought and most exciting gridiron battles ever waged oa a Richmond field. By virtue of the tie the Maroons protected their "undefeated and unscored on" record but dropped from the ranks of the untied teams of the Nation. The Maroons set up a tight defense within their own 20-yard line and while threatened on more than one occasion, successfully repulsed every Eagle threat, including an attemptzd field goal. Advances Nipped Early, It was the Eastern line plus Thurman which prevented the faster and harder-charging Morehead backs from scoring. The I line stopped Varney, Reynolds, Fair and Company most of the time, but when it failed, it was the "Benham Spider," Wyatt Thurman, who usually nabbed the ball carrier to stop the goal;ward advance. However, the alert play of one ,Carl Kemp, of St. Matthews, Ky., ,former Louisville du Pont Man1,1al 'star, probably saved the day for the Maroons. There were four fumbles in the game, all by Morehead and all recovered by Kemp. Each recovery by Kemp stopped what appeared to be a Morehead march. Reynolds Impotent. Morehead's vaunted "Bull of the Buckhorn" Reynolds was impotent today, but "Jugs" Varney was a constant thorn in the Ma~ ,roan side. However, the Richmond Teachers stopped him when necessary and stopped him cold. The closest Eastern came to scoring_ was Morehead's 25-yard line a-ft~!" Thurman had made a beautiful 37-yard run from his wn 36 to the Morehead 27 and Mowat picked up two. " The Eagles outgained the Maroons on first downs 10 to 4 and got closer to the Eastern goal than the Maroons did to the visitors' .pay-off stripe. • Eagles On Maroon Ten. The Eagles' nearest approach was in the third quarter when ,they reached tjie Maroon 10 when Varney toured around end• by himself from the 17. On the next play, however, Lady Luck came to the Eastern rescue. Varney fumbled on the three, Kemp recovering, and Thurman kicking out to Varney on the Eastern 45. Ordich, down fast, threw him back on the Morehead 48 and that threat ended. In the fourth quarter the Eagles drove to the Eastern 17 on a pass from Varney to Fair. ThreP tries at the line gained five and on fourth down, on the Eastern 12, Marzetti attempted a field goal, but it was wide to the !left. Thurman's punting held the Eagles at ba:,· during the last half.

Richmond, Ky., Nov. 7.-Football practice at Eastern Teachers College here really went to the dogs recently. Or perhaps it would be better to say, it went to "a" dog. . For Rex, Jr., Irish Setter who is unofficial mascot and constant companion of Maroon athletes, dragged himself whimpering onto the practice field. He had been struck by an automobile, driver unknown.

The game will begin at 2 : 30 p. m. It will be a real fight as the two teams battle for the "Hawg Rifle" in a classic that has drawn the eyes of all sports lovers in Kentucky to Eastern. Last year the Eagles steam rolled the Red into oblivion at Morehead with a terrific driving machine that stopped only after crossing the goal line innumerable times. The "hawg rifle" was kept by them for tne last two seasons by virtue of the complete rout of the Eastern contingent. It was in 1936 at the Maroon homecoming that the trophy was originated in impressive ceremonies and was presented to Dr. H. H. Babb of Morehead, by President Donovan of Eastern. The rightful place of the trophy is in Eastern's trophy cabinet, and the Big Maroons of this season can be cou~ted upon to give everything that they have to obtain possession of the coveted trophy. In a statement from the Morehead school, however, the warning was given that the Eagles fully intend to keep their record of victories intact. The outcome of this all important contest will, ln all probability, go far in deciding the possible runner-up or winner of the KIAC championship as far as Eastern is concerned. Last weekend the Maroons were idle, while the Eagles were hosts to the Transy eleven, handing them a neat 21-0 defeat. The Maroons were able to hand the Tran-:,y eleven a meagre 7-0 defeat in an early season game. It is doubtful if the Maroon could hand the Crimson team a worse defeat now. So the cards will be stacked in favor of the visitors. Eastern is undefeated and unscored on so far this season, however. Murray whipped Morehead October 8, while the Maroons were taking the strong Tennessee team into camp to the tune of 19-0. The rest of the played games on each team's schedule have been mcticocre teams, so in reality the two teams are matching strength for the first time with aL '4Ual adversary. With Beverly "Jug" Varney leading the touchdown parade with 54 points m Kentucky play, it will be a battle between the Morehead star and the splendid allaround playing of Eastern's star backfield ace, "Spider'' Thurman. The little quarterback has the knack of calling the right play at the right time and in reeling off the yardage needed at the right moment, and i;. may be that an ail-KIAC bad, will be made on this afterno able to turn the Eagle this afternoon due to lack of reserves. This has been the biggest handicap to be faced all season by Coach Rankin, for it is almost impossible for eleven starters to play the full sixty minutes. To bolster the guard positions that ar~ now occupied by Lochnane, Morgan, Mayer and Elder, Coach Rankin has found a possible starter in Helton, a sophomore, who has shown well this week. There are four ends that seem capable: Hill, Yeager, Hennessey and Gordon. "Doc" Lydey will start at center. In the backfield, the redoubtable "Spider" Thurman will be calling them from the quarterback post. Combs, Scott, Merlino, or Bob Mowat, who looked good this week, will get the nod for the halfback posts. Carl Kemp will be th e plunger, supplemented by George Ordich.

The Big Maroons have been working on offensive tactics for the past two weeks in an effort to bol~ter the running attack in preparing for the encounter this afternoon. They have speeded up the attack and have developed several ne"':' plays for Morehead to gnash thell' teeth on in trying to stem the tide.

Paying in a quagmire and with water on the field sloshing at their shoe tops, Eastern offense did not begin to click until midway of the second period when Kemp, harddri\'ing fullback, slashed through the Union defense twice in the second quarter to score on straight power driYes. Over 2000 ardent fans braved the v.rrath of Jupiter Pluvius to see the Union team crumple before the vicious running attack of the M'aroons who 1·efused to be daunted by the condition of the field. Eastern's third marker came in the third period when Farmer, attempting to punt for Union, fumbled ancl Eastern recovered on the two-ynrd line. One play at the center of the line failed to gain but on the next attempt Kemp, • who scored all of the touchdowns for the l\1aroons, drove over tackle for the score. Again in the fourth quarter Union took to the air in a desperate attempt to score and one of their passes was intercepted on their own 10 yard line. Again Quarterback Thurman, who played outstanding ball for Eastern during the contest, called upon the powerfu Kemp and after three attempts Kemp took it over from I the three yard line for the final tally of the afternoon. Eastern rolled up a total of 15 first downs while Union was able to garner but 5. Stafura, Union ace sprinter, brought the stands to their feet in the late stages of the game when he dashed 60 yards through the Eastern defense before being tackled deep in Eastern territoy. Seven seniors, playing their last game for the Maroons, played during the contest, Co-captains Hagood and Hill, Lydey, Feinstein. Luman, Merlino and Elder.

The only real U1re t of the game occurred in the second period when Coach Rome Rankin sent his second team into the game. After Luman had intercepted a pass on his own 25, a bad pass from center was rtcoverfd by the Sycamores on thP Maroon eight yard line. Hamil on, of the Sycamores, hit the tine for three and then Faubion smashed into the center of the line for the score. \Vey place-kicked the extra point and the half ended with Eastern leading by 12-7.

After two tries at the line and one incomplete pass, Thurm:.m finally tossed to Scott an the Big Maroons scored their fifth marker. The final score by the Maroons was set up when Elder inte1·cepted Vogel's pass on the Indiana 40. Thurman tossed one to Gordon, who went down the hard way on the eight yard line.

Rankin, whose team lost only one game, that to Western, and tied one, with Morehead, while winning six, really has to replace only three men from his 1938 starting line-up.

But others coming up from the I freshman squad and the work of se,•eral Yeterans caused part of that pleased expression Rankin wore. . William Cros.s, 175-pound back from Oneida, Tenn., a freshman who didn't play on the yearling team, and Frank Flanagan, a Richmond boy who improved rapidly on the frosh outfit looked plenty good as ball toters. Kenneth Perry, a Lawrenceburg boy, and Glenn Davis, from Irvine, a pair of 175-pound guards, were blocking viciously and showed promise of making it tough on someone next fall.

The birds are twittering, the sun is shining, but alas our athletes must grunt and groan with the little pig skin. The boys are busy working out the kinds and learning the fundamentals for a future season under the watchful eye of Coaches Rankin, Samuels, and Hill. Congratulations are in order for one of Eastern's best known athletes who was recently chosen "Mr. Popularity" by the popular vote of the students. "Mr. Pop." justly deserves the honor, being a great spot, a. fine player, a gentleman and a model example of Eastern men at the best, and a true Kentucky athlete.

We'll miss you a lot Lon, so will your parents, friends, and teachers. You once :said that you were sorry to leave Eastern, we're sorry too. We'll miss you at the Homecoming dance tomorrow night, your first homecoming. You said that you hoped that some day you might come back. Now . . . Well, Lon, that just can't be. But it isn't so bad, Lon. The so-called Grim Reaper is only a kind old man, who being called upon by the Father, merely opens the gates into a brighter, better world. And, as for your college days, Lon, remember that while we on earth must be content to read Shakespeare, Tennyson and Kipling, you may now sit in their midst and drink the words that have rung out through the yea~s like silver bells. Yes, we'll adrmt that "Alma Mater" thrill us, will continue to . . . but one measure of the music of angels is more thrilling, more sublime that the combined genius of all earthly Beethovens Shuberts and Mozarts. And reme~ber, Lon, that yours is a journey that we all will take. You loved life, you were not afraid. As someone so aptly put it: "My candle burns at both ends It will not last the night.

By Bob Hunter. A group of southern gentlemen from Eastern Kentucky• College came to Terre Haute yesterday and stayed just long enough to make the Indiana State gridiron finale a sad one, as they romped to a 28 to 7 triumph at the Stadium. The Kentucky lads exhibited a cl1tssy brand of footbaJJ. concentrating on accurate blocking and timely pa,.ses for their offensive success. Sparking the Kentucky attack was "Ambrose" TJ:!]:!rm&ij, who rated a position on the Associated Press' little all-American team of secondary colleges last year. Thurman accounted for mo,at of the soutliern aggregation's yardage, but when he grew tired from heavy exertion Coach Rome nankin had another versatile backfield performer to insert into his lineup In Bert Smith. Smith also hurled a 32-yard touchdown pass to SchustE:r, the . Iaroons' powerful left end. The Sycamores started the game well by scoring when the first period was only six mlnute,i old. A Kentucky fumble in deep Kentucky territory set up the score and the State boys took advantage of the break, racking up 7 points. Wey passed to Leavitt for a first down on the three-yard line and Faublan plunged over for the score. Bradbury converted. Thurman Breaks Loo ■ e. After taking the kick-off following State's score, Thurman broke loose and scooted to the State 20yard line before he was hit from behind by "Spanky" Leavitt, Sycamore halfback.

The initial period ended without any further scoring. After an exchange of punts early in the second quarter, Kentucky took the ball on the State 49-yard line. Smith picked up four yards on his flret try of the ball game and then sprinted to the l 4-yard line on a reverse. Thurman advanced the pigskin to the eight on an off-tackle plunge and Smith went over the goal line on the next play following" beautiful interference. Morgan again kicked the extra. point.

The Spider took the kickoff on his own five and ran out to the 35. On the first play from scrimmage he ran 18 yards to the Transy 47. On the next play he picked up five more. Then he ran from the T~ansy 42 to the nine, 33 yards, skirting behind the line of scrimmage until he found an opening between left end and tackle.

Richm.: nd, Ky., Oct. 21.-One more team was knocked out of the undefeated ranks today as the Eastern Maroons dropped the Georgetown Tigers, 21 to 0, in a K.I.A.C. battle on Hanger Field. In a hard-fought game marred by frequent penalties, the Maroons drove to victory by sheer power and held the Tigers at bay during the afternoon. Georgetown threatened seriously only once during the contest.

Coach Rome Rankin's team could do nothing wrong while the boys from Barbourville got plenty of bad breaks from start to finish. Coach Dick Bacon brought a welldrilled and deceptive team to Richmond for the K. I. A. C. battle which had the more powerful Eastern team worried on several occasions.

While this former Benh!lm flash, quarterback on The C?uner - Journel's all - Kentucky High School team in 1936, scored only one of the Maroons' three touchdowns, he carried the ball three-fourths of the time did most of the punting and played a bang-up defensive game.

According to Coach Rankin, the boys played their best ball of the season. "Their blocking was better than at any time this year."_ Sparking the Eastern ,attack was Wyatt "Spider" Thurman, who at times alternated with Bert Smith, outstanding sophomore. The climax of the game when Smith tossed a 32 yard pass to Charles "Chuck" Scheuster for a touchdown. It was the Hoosiers who first drew blood when Eastern fumbled deep in the Maroon territory but Thurman soon knotted the count. Early in the second quarter, Smith and Thurman alternated carrying the ball and making the score do tricks. Smith then passed to Scheuster for the next marker. In the third quarter, the Maroons made their fourth and final tally when Thurman finally reached pay dirt after an eighty-yard drive. All four of Morgan's kicks for extra points were good. Indiana gained 174 yards from scrimmage, Eastern moved 301; Indian lost 75 yards from scrimmage, Eastern lost 50; Indiana made 6 first downs, Eastern 12; Indiana tried 22 passes, completing 12, while the Eastern lads attempted only 4, completing 3.

I �. ;tion Of 1ducted d Group Frame, Cheatham, And Welch Chosen Beauty Representatives Here VOTES DISCOUNTED £tJ..E£N FRAME MILESTONE- '40 The Milestone contest for the 1940 feature section, announced in the Progress today, innovated a considerable change over the ordinary routine of selection during the past week. Quoting Mr. William E. Adams, editor of this year's annual: "Since the men of the college thought it necessary to conduct the Milestone Contest in such an unorderly and irregular fashion, in my capacity of editor, I made all necessary arrangements for completing the selections for the beauty section, in another manner." Accordingly, a selected committee of three men representing Eastern's faculty and there men students met last Saturday afternoon and selected "Miss Eastern" : and her two attendants. All votes , cast in the preliminary voting were entirely discounted. Representing Eastern this year at the Mountain Laurel Festival will be the 1940 "Miss Eastern" Eileen Frame, sophomore from Harlan. Attendants chosen were Miss Blanche Cheatham and Miss Beatrice Welch. In the regular student voting for "Miss Popularity" the title went to Miss Frances Little, Southgate, and Mr. Wyatt "Spider" Thurman as "Mr. Popularity." Miss Frame reveals in a personal interview on another page that she has had numerous honorary positions in the past. She is on the social committee of the college and is one of the Milestone representatives for her class. Miss Blanche Cheatham, attendant, is new to this institution, having enrolled only last month. She has just been chosen as one of the battery sponsors by a campus R. O. T. C. unit. Miss Welch, Owenton, represented her county in one of the beauty contests of . last year. She will also serve as one of the battery sponsors. Miss Frances Little, former "Miss Eastern," received the majority of votes over the other canditates for nomination for the popularity title. Up for election were Miss Sue Toadvine, Cynthiana, and Miss Ann Stiglitz, Louisville, former winner. "Mr. Popularity" Thurman has been nominated for this position in the contests of the last two years. He is the best known Eastern athlete and serves as president of the Junior class. Defeated were "Lefty" Vernon Shetler, and "Rusty" Harold iWcklund. �--- --of Easte1·n State, - - dfres -for--'-' Woodl'Ow Wilson Lydley, formerly a loose- hall.

I. A. C. ' eleven, chosen for the Associated Press by coaches, directors of Athletics and sports writers. He was far ahead of the next 1 five high-ranking· players from the standpoint of votes. Last year the Benham, Ky., boy was a second team choice. Western, which tied Murray for the mythical conference title, but had the best record of any of the nine league members for all games played, won three places on the first team, more than any other player. MOREHEAD GETS TWO Murray, Eastern and Morehead each wns awarded berths with the h\·o other positions going to LouisYille and Centre. Every school but Union is represented on the second team. The difficulty in picking the year's star players, as expressed 1 by several of the nominators, .was the fact that no team excf'nt Transylvania played more th n five league opponents. Some mt.t ' only two, Transy ' encountered seven. But at that, only the two wingmen, Joe Smith, a back, and Elwood Sanders, center, had trouble in winning their posts. There was no question about the tackles. They went to Sam Panepinto of ·western and Pete Gudauskag of Murray, the only first team repeaters. They are as fine a pair of linemen as Kentucky has hacl in years. RADJrNAS IS NAl\IED Stanley Racljunas, Morehead's crack guard, alRo was a popular choice as were Reel Oliver of Western and Benny Vaznelis of Morehead, halfbacks. Radjunas was moved up from the 1938 second team. His n1nning mate, Lacy Downey of Murray won his position by a good margin. Sanders of Western squeezed out Morehead's fine sophomore pivot, Paul Adams, in the closest race of them all. Although he hanked third among the state's scorers and was far ahead of any other end, Chuck Schuster of Eastern was not far ahead of the pack and Lou Zimlich of Louisville just nosed out Ralph Pittman of ·western and Ralph Love of Murray. All are rated as good pass-receivers. DECKER LIKES SMITH There was some argument among the voters as to whether Smith was a better back than his team-mate, Ro~er Thompson. but Coach Quinn Decker said Smith had been a mainstay, for the Colonels the past two seasons and gave him high praise.
