On November 12, 1942, two Beta fresh men, playing on the Ohio Wesleyan Re serve Squad, handed Ohio University frosh
a 20-14 trouncing. Packy McFarland and his roommate, Dale Minton, scored the three touchdowns, leaving the two points
on the kicks to the toe of A.T.O. Bruce Heisler.
McFarland scored the first six points on a pass from Benbow. Minton received the kickoff at the start of the second half, and
romped 102 yards for the second touch down. McFarland scored the third on a twenty five yard run.
In the return game played in Delaware, these two were equally outstanding. Mc Farland plays the quarterback position, and
has proven himself an excellent field general. Minton is a half back who has shown exceptional ability.
In addition to these two, the Betas have Paul Bickel, Bob Hunter, Hugh Troth, and Bob Mauck on the roster of freshman foot
ballers.
This year, freshman were eligible to play in varsity competition, and all of them gave excellent accounts of themeselves on the
gridiron. If they had all been able to return next year, the Betas would have been the mainstay of the varsity squad.
