Pigskin Devotees The Rockford Tigers of the gridiron were composed of a line of ganite and a speedy backfield. The team was formed around seniors hut several under classmen were valuable assets to the team. Many of the boys were inexperienced in actual inter-scholastic contests. In spite of the fact, they played very good football and showed an amazing defensive ability for such a small town. The two outstanding games of the season were the 7-7 contest with Oak-wood and that never to be forgotten game at Piqua. The teams were evenly matched but Piqua got a break in the last few minutes and defeated us 7 -0. The following was the Tiger schedule of 36-37: Team Played at Oakwood ....................
