INDIANS SCRAPPY IN 31-20 DEFEAT

DeMotte High schools foothallers, consistent only in unpredictability this season closed their 1947 season by bowing in defeat Tuesday night to the new K. V. conference champions, the Morocco Beavers. Loss of two squad members who were removed for infractions of training rules and the absence of regular end, Denzil Barker, left the Indians undismayed and served only to sharpen their spirit and game. Passes accounted for DeMotte’s three touchdowns, a Cheever to €urry~toss and “Mighty Mouse” Ileimlichs throw to Jim Rowen in the first half kept the losers in the ball game, while a long heave from Kingma to Rowen again, accounted for the Indians final tally. A strong running game, led by their powerful and deceptive halfback, Seivers, was the bulk of the Beavers attack and enabled them to pull away in the last half and garner their fifth conference win without loss.
