Under the leadership of Coach Fouks and Captain Thomas Edin and after many hard practice sessions, an optimistic football team traveled to Chaska, Min- nesota, to gain revenge for the only defeat of the championship team the previous year. Early in the game Hudson lost the services of Kenneth Rohl, a probable all conference defensive end, with a dislocated elbow. On the next play John Linehan, place kicker, punter, and one of the best pass receiving ends in the area, broke his arm and also was out for the duration of the season. The Raiders were impressive but also inconsistent and lost 19-0. Football teams don’t fold up when someone gets hurt. The next week the Raiders met the highly re- garded New Richmond eleven and pushed them to the final gun before losing 13-7. Baldwin came to town with a very fine football team and whipped the hapless Raiders 33-6. This was no disgrace since Baldwin routed everyone they played in 1963. The next game at Colfax was quite a different story. Hudson had speed, power, and a good defense in spoiling the Col- fax Homecoming 19-0. Another Homecoming was spoiled at Glenwood City the next week. Winless Glenwood City fell to the rejuvenated Raiders 26-6. The Spring Valley powerhouse broke the Hudson win streak and Richard Kemis’s leg. The Cards squeezed out a 13-18 victory. Arch rival River Falls entertained the defensive battle which saw a good Hudson defensive squad hold many goal line stands. The offense could only move the ball around mid-field. This resulted in the first scoreless tie in years, and the Raiders kept the jug. Hudson closed out the poorest season in years with a 21-6 Homecoming defeat at the hands of Ellsworth. Bad breaks and injuries plagued the squad the entire year, but many promising sophomores came through and showed potential for good future teams.
