Show TWO WINS AND A LOSS BEGIN BRONCOS TRAMPLE PARSONS' 1952 FOOTBALL SEASON PARSONS, As King Football mounted his throne of many colors, he watched the football season open and saw the Parsons begin practice on 6. After 20 days of practice they traveled to Price, Utah, where they encountered Carbon College for the first game of the season. There they were defeated, in spite of the support of a wildly enthusiastic cheering section, and were aftforced to submit to Carbon er a close and fiercely contested game. During the first half, Larry Wegkamp broke his ankle, thus disabling the Parsons most outstanding tailback. The following week the men worked hard, and determined to win. Again they hit the highway, this time for Ephraim, where they met Snow College on the gridiron. Snow scored early but failed to make the conversion. As the minutes were checked off by the officials it looked as if this might be a repetition of the Carbon conflict, but with only six minutes left to play, the fighting Parson eleven went over for a touchdown. After drive by Dale Gebo, a seventy-yar- d Demet Kyremes executed a quart-bac- k sneak, and carried the ball over for the t. d. The extra point was kicked by Bob Tates trained toe. When the final quarter ended the first victhe score stood tory of the season for Westminster. Sep-temb-re 6-- 0, first half 14-- 0 for the underdog Parsons. On the kickoff after the halftime the Weber team picked up the pigskin and ran the ball through the bewildered Parson squad, and into the end zone. However, the ball was called back due to an offside penalty. Not disheartened, the Weber squad marched down the field and pushed over for a touchdown, and a successful attempt scored the extra point. The rest of the game was dominated by the Weber team, but they failed to score through Westminsters outstanding defense, and one of the most exciting games of the season ended 14-a solid victory for the Parson eleven. 7, RICKS ROCKS PARSONS AT REXBURG 47-- 7 From the second play of the game the Westminster Parsons were rocked back on their heels, as Boise Junior College roared to a first period score in the opening minutes of B.

After Don Whites run the Parsons trailed 0 until late in the first quarter, when their passing attack began to operate, but only temporarily. Finally pushing the ball over for the purple and gold squad was a billiard-lik- e pass from Bob Christensen to Larry Olsen, to Dale Fries in the end zone. The remainder of the first half was evenly matched and hard fought until the Broncos pushed across two quick tallies before the half ended. The Parsons came back in the second half with their spirits up and took quite a beating as the running of White and the passing combination of Patrick and Treverbaugh proceeded to rack up t. d.s in the remaining two quarters. The brilliant kicking of Bob Christensen in first half helped the Parsons to stay so close to the Broncos heels in the early part of the ball game. Injuries to come out of the game were Bob Christensen, Demet Kyremes and Dale Gebo. However, Chris and Dale were sufficiently recovered to play in the Ricks game. spot-light- ed 70-ya- rd 7-- Traveling up to Rexburg, Idaho, the Westminster grid squad was confronted with a crucial game plus the Homecoming crowd of the Ricks College Vikings. The Vikings drew first blood on a series of running plays around the outside and scored with a pass play down the middle of the Parsons secondary. Westminster came back sooner than expected on a recovered fumble by Vandry on the Viking 20.

Inside the fence one of the inmates who imagined himself a pitcher would be going through elaborate wind-u- p and pitching motions, using an imaginary ball. After studying him for awhile the driver of the car, a well dressed businessman, would leave.
