Coaches Phil Sullivan, Peter Russo, Woody Moore and squad celebrate victory over Madison Heights. Defense is name of game War clouds darkened the autumn skies over Oregon as Andersoifs hard-hitting defensive football team fought to one of its finest seasons. New head coach Mr. Peter Russo developed a team that tied for second in the North Central Conference by giving up only 7.5 points a game. The Indians won 6, lost 2, and tied 2. Thousands of wildly enthusiastic fans came out open- ing night to cheer their Tribe to victory. They were not disappointed as Anderson easily outclassed the Lebanon Tigers, 27-0, while scoring touchdowns by a pass, a punt return, a running play, and an interception. Traveling to Muncie, the high spirited team which had won only two games last year, rolled to a 26-13 victory. The Indians were on their way after Dave Wright's interception and touchdown run. Anderson kicked off its N. C. C. action against an- cient rival Muncie Central. A 27-yard touchdown run by late in the third quarter gave Anderson the lead. The Tribe's chances for yet another victory were damp- ened by a 41-yard run with an interception by a Muncie guard. A 7-7 tie resulted when a fantastic goal line stand in the final seconds of the game saved the Indians from defeat. Anderson trekked to Lafayette seeking its third win against highly rated and heavily favored Lafayette Ieff. The Indians could not get their offense moving, but a stout defense was able to render the Bronchos helpless. Another tie game, 6-6, was recorded. N. C. C. powerhouse, Richmond, was trodden under the Tribal path as Anderson invaded the Red Devil's den. Sensational running by Dan Erskine and Larry Hoover brought victory, 16-0. Coming back home for a two-game stand, Anderson's fired up team grappled with cross-town foe Madison Heights. The Pirates struck paydirt with a long field goal early in the first half. It was not until late in the fourth quarter that the Tribe found the touchdown combination which enabled them to win, 7-3. Homecoming festivities were highlighted by a fifth Indian win. It took a 90-yard run by John Doyle and the extra point to edge a hard-nosed Marion Giant team, 7-6. Anderson's chances for an undefeated season were lost as Kokomo, the fifth ranked team in the state, de- feated the Indians 14-13. It was Anderson's game all fcont. next pagel
