J. Solt Champions Again! The outlook for a successful season was extremely dim when Mr. Castor issued his first call for candidates on August 20, 1953. Only two regulars, Art Houdeshell, end, and Jack Babcock, fullback, were left from last years team. The season opened with our annual preview game at Findlay with Ada High School. After battling fiercely for two eight minute periods. The score was 0 to 0. North Baltimore opened our regular schedule at Arlington on Septem- ber 18. The game was a thriller with the Red Devils coming out on top 15 to 13. The Hancock Little Eight League opened the next week with Arlington entertaining Van Buren. The boys started rolling in the first quarter and won 25 to 0. The next game was at McComb and both teams were primed for battle. A narrow 7 to 6 victory kept the Red Devils in the victory road. John Fahl intercepted a pass on the opponent's 45 and went over unscratched. The following week Arcadia invaded the lair of the Red Devils and turn- ed back 38 to 0. Eldon Smith returned fully recovered of a leg injury. Liberty was next on the schedule and gave the locals quite a battle be- fore subduing 19 to 7. Babcock, regular fullback, came back into action in this game. The big game of the season as usual was with our neighbors, Cory-Raw- son. The Hornets had been running up high scores on their opponents and were the favorites to down the Red Devils. The teams battled up and down the gridiron for three scoreless quarters. The fourth quarter supplied the fire- works with Arlington scoring 18 points to 7 for the Hornets. It was an upset to put it mildly. Babcock, Houser, and Eldon Smith scored the T.D .'s. Vanlue came to A rlington the following Friday and went away with a 19 to 0 defeat. Art Houdeshell played an outstanding defensive game. The season closed with a triumph over Mt. Blanchard who played a bet- ter game than the score indicated. Houser snagged a pass in the end zone while John Fahl caught two passes and run for T.D.'s. The score was 20 to 6. Among the seniors who closed their careers with this game were, Wayne Reichley and Allen Alge who saw a lot of service during the season. We the graduating seniors of the 1953 football team, wish to thank Mr. Castor for all his time and patience he put forth in enabling us to win our 10th Championship in 13 years. Mr. Castor, we salute you. TRAUCHT STORE Arlington, Ohio Page 29
