Figyzes The Albertville Aggies were the next obstacle in the path of a successful season for the OHS Redskins, and they were taken care of in fine fashion. The Redskins ventured into Albertville and left with a 13-O victory. In the first quarter of play the Redskins started a drive at the Aggie 39. Six plays later they scored, with Conn going in from the eight. The try for the point after was no good. In the second quarter the Redskins set up their second TD by recovering an Albertville fumble on the Aggie 40. An Aggie penalty put the Redskins on the 15. From there Jody Gregory went over for the score. Woodard's try to split the uprights was successful. That ended the scoring for the game. During this match of brains and brawn, the mighty Redskins allowed the Aggies to penetrate only as far as the 25 yard line. Conn stops an Aggie BOBBY MASTERS Fullback
