Many people didn't expect much from our team because many of the players lacked experience, particularly in the backfield. A rough schedule this year resulted in a season record of three wins, five losses, and one tie, however don't look at the record from the standpoint of the won-lost columns, for our team proved to everyone that what it lacked in ability, it made up for in fight and determination. After three weeks of hard practice on the cool and shady football field, we played twelve minutes at the Pigskin Preview in Sandusky. We played Willard and the game ended in a scoreless tie. Our first win of the season was against Port Clinton .... 6 Oak Harbor 6 Port Clinton .... 20 Gibsonburg .... . 12 Port Clinton... 19 Tiffin ..... 26 Port Clinton .... 12 Lakeside .. 0 Port Clinton .... 13 Bellevue 14 Sylvania. With a story-book ending, We won in the last five seconds of the game as we scored on a short pass and an eighteen yard run. Another important game was played here against Oak Harbor. lt was the best game of the season to us because the Rockets were favored to beat us by twenty points, how- ever the game ended in a six-six tie, and a moral victory for our Redskins. We again emerged victorious in the Lakeside game when, as it had been for the last three years, the game was played on a rainy night in a sea of mud. As a fitting climax the year ended when the entire squad attended the annual football ban- quet presented by the Downtown Coaches. The captain, having been chosen by the team, was Ed Nau and the most valuable player Was Ron Johnson.
