21-0 Victory Pleases OU Fans The score was 21-0. This was the score of the game the day Ohio University ended 18 long years of frustration with a hard fought victory over Miami University. A crowd of 15,000 fans attended the game, and when it was over, they knew for sure what they had been thinking all along — that the Bobcats were a big-time team with a big-time attack. One gentleman attending the game wanted Ohio University to win that day perhaps more than any other fan in the stands. President John C. Baker had never witnessed an Ohio U. win over Miami in all his time at the University. In his last year he saw his first win. In 1959 Miami whipped the Bobcats 24-0, the squad had 362 days to think about this defeat and go out and change things. Which they did! Bob Brooks scored twice, Clyde raced for the other, and the score was 21-0 in favor of Ohio University this time. Victory over Miami ends stration for OU. Hess, with Miami pennant over shoulder, gets ride. Cheerleaders bow as fans chant the Bobcat point total.
