				Football team suffers first loss of season Bears reciver Jeff Buening nabbed eight passes for 59 yards in the 16-10 loss to MacMurray College Sept. 14. The Bears held MacMurray College to just 153 yards of total offense, but five turnovers doomed Washington U. as the visiting Highlanders recorded a 16-10 victory Sept.14 at Francis Field. The Bears led twice, but MacMurray used two big plays -- a blocked punt returned for a touchdown, and a safety -- to pull ahead in the second half and take the win. After Toby Neighbors' 2-yard touchdown run opened the scoring, the Highlanders John Hambelton returned a blocked punt 14 yards for the tying score. After Ben Lambert kicked his fourth field goal of the year, Mac-Murray used a 76-yard scoring drive to go up 14-10. The Highlanders added a safety when Neighbors was tackled in the end zone for the final points. Neighbors, who took over when starting tailback Kevin McCarthy left the game with a shoulder injury, finished with 71 yards rushing, while wide receiver Jeff Buening caught eight passes for 59 yards.
