Walsh Takes Football Title

On Nov. 20 a cold Indiana wind swept over campus and the mercury hovered near 20, but Walsh was as hot as a mid-July day while rolling over Farley to cop the interhall football championship. Even the 27-0 score is not indicative of Walsh's supremacy as Farley was totally outclassed in all departments throughout the game. A big, tough, experienced "Walsh line was the largest thorn in Farley's side, but the Walsh backs had that extra drive too and their aerial work was vastly superior to that of Farley.

Walsh scored in every period but the fourth, and the game ended with the ball in their possession on the Farley five. Halfback Charlie Mauch was the offensive star of the afternoon scoring twice —once on a 70 yard jaunt.

It was Mauch who opened the scoring, going over on a five yard smash off tackle early in the first period. Jean Kreuz missed the conversion attempt. Walsh got another two points before the quarter ended when Jim Drennan and Jack Ferry pulled down a Farley back in the end zone for a safety.

Walsh scored twice in the second period. The first came on a pass from quarterback Augie Gentilucci to right end Bucky O'Keefe. Kreuz made the sole conversion of the game. Near the end of the period Jack Courtney went over on fourth down from two yards out to give Walsh a 21-0 halftime lead.

The final score of the game came on the aforementioned run by Mauch midway through the third quarter. It was one of the finest runs seen during this interhall season. With a second and eight on his own thirty, Mauch smashed off left tackle, jigged by two would-be tacklers, then cut for the sidelines and outdistanced all pursuers to the goal line.

The Walshites might have scored once more in the final period, but were content to run straight power plays as time ran out with the ball on the Farley five.
