The Trojans' heel was pierced by Osage City, and then they journeyed to Bonner and DeSoto. They tied the Braves and shut out the Wildcars 12 to 0. Osawatomie was upset by the Burlington Wildcats when they put the Trojans down by a score of 20 to 14. the triumph of the season was the defeat of the Paola Panthers 7 to 6 by the fighting Trojans. The Panthers led through most of the game 6 to 0, then came the fatal blow. with 22 seconds left in the game the conquering Trojans scored a touchdown and made the extra point, for the sixth consecutive win over Paola.
