Argus also mentions that Kirk and McNeely had good game for the visitors but since they were not listed as probable starter it is not clear what positions they played. It is likely that all the Independents listed were the starters and in those positions. Benson, R.Salzmann and Smith were not mentioned in the article that day but they had been starting there all year.
