No Aces, but

Missouri Clicks

By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Staff Correspondent . KANSAS CITY, Mo. Nov. 25.— The University of Missouri football players, Bix Six conference champions and still in training. for the expected Bowl bid, discovered today that they had been so busy winning that they hadn’t developed a single outstanding star to com-

“|mand national attention in the all-

America scramble. Instead of a single brilliant back who took the headlines, the Tigers had three ace carriers and a brace of blockers who cleared the way. The five are Harry Ice, Bob Steuber and Maurice Wade, the breakaway runners, and Harold Adams and Don Reece. The smooth teamwork of this unit, working behind a fine line, gave Missouri its best team in history. The Tigers made 34 touchdowns in nine games, won all but their opener against Ohio State and beat four of their five conference opponents .by record scores. Only Nebraska and Ohio State held them to one touchdown and 29 of the 34 were made from beyond the 10 yard line. They made 2771 yards net from

{scrimmage for an average of 308

yards per game in running plays, making them the nation’s leading ground gaining team.

Steuber Has Record

Steuber, the junior halfback, who got away on most of his gains through sheer force rather than elusiveness, has the best ball carrying record, but "he played almost full time while Ice and Wade alternated. Steuber carried the ball 113 times for 856 yards net, an average of 7.56 yards per carry. He made nine touchdowns and 13 conversions for 67 points. Ice, starting signal caller, had the responsibility of directing. the team, throwing most of the few passes the Tigers used and being the faker on the man in motion plays. Yet he carried the ball 95 times for 625 yards or a 6.57 average per try. In his final conference test against Kansas, the little 165-pound senior made 240 yards on eight trips. His scoring record was four touchdowns for 24 points. Wade, most elusive of the backs, had a 6.49 average, carrying the ball 681 yards on 105 tries. Wade, who weighs 180 pounds, is called “Brick” for three reasons. He hits like one, is built like one and his hair is the color of one. He made eight touchdowns for 48 points. He is a sophomore. Adams and Reece didn’t make the headlines, but they made many a play click’ and the election of Reece captain for 1942 attested the team’s Joeling of the worth of the big full-

Carl Limbach, big Warren Central center (with the ball) will try to do this to the other team this season, Here he’s surrounded by teammates. They are (first row), Loren Cannaday, Glen Kleine, Bruce Norvalk and Junior Perkins; and (second row), Bob Lombard, Richard Fulk, Millard Ftvieate, Thomas Keyt and Harold White, ¢

Beat Last Year

Last year Warren Central won only 8 out of 20 games. . WtLisper it. In their first game this year, they walked all over New Augusta, 46 to 18. In their next game, they beat a strong, good-looking Southport team, 29 to 24. In that New Augusta game, a 220pound, 6-foot, 3-inch senior by the name of Carl Limbach collected 17 points. There’s the style to watch for when Warren Central plays this year. Chances are they’ll feed the ball to Limbach and go into the pivot. “We have a team this year that’s speedy enough to play a fast-break all through the game,” Coach Ralph Clevenger said. about last year’s record. “We may not set the world on fire, but Warren Central this year will be a far different team than last. The boys have lots of spirit. They. practice ‘hard and long and they like their coach. Anyone who spends even a few minutes out there can tell that. In addition to Limbach, the squad will have Junior Perkins, an allsectional guard from last season returned for his senior year. The other returning veteran is Millard Applegate, a forward. (H. M)
