1922" The slaughter of the Innocents! It was simply horrible!"
7Daniel Baker College vs. _c bilene Christian College
At Brownwood, November 24, 1921
Daniel Baker..........55 A. C. C...........0Except for a short time in the second quarter this game was decidedly
a one-sided affair. In the second quarter the Abilene gang pushed the ball
steadily down the field to our ten yard line before they were stopped. That
was the only time the Hill Billie goal was in anything like jeopardy.
The Christians were helpless before the heavier and more aggressive Hill
Billies. The Blue and White relied more on old-style, straight football than
anything else. They ran short end runs very effectively and line plunges.
Some forward passes-were mixed in for good measure. They proved very
effective, especially from LeMay to White. LeMay easily demonstrated that
he is one of the most accurate passers in the state in this as well as in other
games of the season. White played with his usual vivacity. In fact, it was
said by all who have watched his career closely that he was "at himself" in thisgame for the first time this year.
.AuHe ran according to old time form. It was
comical the way those birds tagged him.
They caught him high, and that was all

was sweet! We had not forgotten the year
before in Abilene!!
Scott, playing right half for the visitors, stood head and shoulders above
.his teammates. He it was who made the second quarter rally possible. Outside
of him there was very little football ability exhibited by the Christians.
For Daniel Baker the line did excellent work. LeMay and White were
easily the stars, not only of the home club, but of the game. Both are excellent
passers, though LeMay is granted the edge on White in that. Both are great
ground-gainers. White is an invincible kicker and "Pluto" is the devil on
defense.
