1,117 ll MIDDAUGH MOVES into position to bring down Bellevue ball carrier. Five Wins Highlight Truckers, Season Enjoying one of their better seasons the Truckers racked up five wins to surpass all previous football records since 1952 when the team had a 7-2 record. The Norwalk eleven played a tough array of seven league and three non-league teams to end the year with a 5- l-4 count. After a hard-working summer session the Wallsmen pre- pared to launch an assault against their foes equipped with a strong, veteran line and a capable but inexperienced back- field. At Fostoria they fought the Redmen to a standstill and next banged out a winning decision over Fairview. The fol- lowing week the Truckers easily romped over Willard. After a tough battle all the way Upper Sandusky conceded a vic- tory by a slim margin. Shelby ended the Truckers' winning streak after a hard fought game and the next Friday night Bucyrus spoiled Nor walk's Homecoming in only two minutes time. A strong passing game by Tiffin Columbian helped the Tiffinians subdue the Truckers. Bellevue, fighting for their lives, finally won over the Truckers. The Wallsmen got back in- to the win column by edging Galion and roared back on a final note of glory to smother Toledo Rossford in the last game of the year.
