Livar's Field Goal Beats Loyola (Oct. 28)

Byline: Unknown

A field goal by Bill Livar in the last minute of play gave Jefferson College a 9 to 6 victory over the Loyola Freshmen in their clash at Loyola Stadium Sunday. 

The game was hard fought throughout. Loyola recovered a fumbled punt by Crip [Waguespack.]* Rive failed to kick goal. A long pass from Livar to Kelly accounted for Jefferson's touchdown. 

Penciled corrections by Edgar:

*The reporters who wrote this and another story, same date, mistakenly wrote that "Crip" [the Right End player Kelly, whose nickname was Crip] had fumbled that punt. Edgar corrected it every time (three total) with his pencil to have the record straight that it was Waguespack, the quarterback, who fumbled the punt. 

Other notes by Edgar:  

  • "Crip" was elected captain, which pleased the new men. 
  • After a week of practice we had rounded out a nice little squad. 
  • Our first game was against Jesuit High. 
  • We played them at Lutcher, La. 
  •  To our surprise, Jesuits made four touchdowns before we could [?] 
  •  *[The rest of his notes are unreadable.]
