ti 26 FOOTBALL A group of boys with the spirit and determination of fighting to the last whistle, no matter what the odds, was the way Head Football Coach Carroll C. Widdoes classified the 1949 Fighting Bobcats in post-season comment. Looking back over his first season as Bobcat mentor, with a record of four wins, four losses, and one tie, Coach Widdoes had nothing but high praise for the 40-odd boys who participated throughout the season as members of the varsity squad. I think our boys did the best they could at all times. Naturally, we made mis- takes as does any football team, even the greatest ones. But I was particularly pleased with the way our team kept organized at all times. Defensively we were outstanding, Widdoes explained. Just look back over our season ' s games and you will see that there were few sustained offensive marches which resulted in scoring for our opponents. I said before the season opened that, considering everything, we would have a good season if we won four games. While we might easily have won one or two others, the final result was about all I had hoped for, Widdoes asserted. Marvin Spidel hails from Greensberg, Ohio ...
