the Tekamah jauggernaut started function- ing and Oakland went down 0 to26. Oakland traveled to Decatur and ran wild as the Swedes rolling up the highest score of the year, 39 to 0. Oakland was at full strength for the first time of the sea- son. The Cadets of West Point were the next victims of the naughty Swedes. Oakland displayed good form in running rough shod over the Pointers by the score of 26 to 0. The Bulldogs from Wisner were next to feel the blocks and tackles of the Vik- ings. After a even first half Oakland turn- ed on steam and played the Wisner lads down to become victorious, 20 to 0, A sloppy field covered with 6 inches of snow quieted Blair as they paid a visit to the Swede camp. The game was played on even terms featuring line play, but Oak- land cashed in on a break to win 6 to 0. FOOTBALL Nov. ll, Armistice day. Oakland traveled 11D to Lyons. The Lyons boys were ex- pecting to plow the boys over, but were out for a great surprise. Oakland played the best game of the season. with all boys in great shape. Oakland was hammering continually at the Lyons goal. but scored only one to make the score T to 0 to put on a grand finale of a great season. Virgil Landholm.
