' A'?r f 1 A , f Bradford 13 Ellwood City 6 In the first game of the season, played at home, the Owl defense was a stiff test by a puzzling T-with variations attack offered by the visitors, for whom the Owls had set up a single- wing defense. Th-e Owls great spirit and savage tackling saved the game, which was played in a light drizzle. Bradford 41 Johnsonbmg 0 Playing their first road game of the season, the Owls were stymied until the second half when they blasted the Iohnnies with a furious ground and air attack featuring Bizzaro's pass- snatching and Edel's running. Both teams played good ball in the first half, but Johnsoburg finally withered under the con- stant Owl gains. Credit was due, also, to the valiant Bradford defense, which thwarted nearly all the Iohnsonburg pass at- tempts. DuBois 14 Bradford 13 A supercharged DuBois team, employing the tricky buck- lateral series, drove for long gains through the puzzled Owl defense, although the Owls struck twice in the meantime, to lead 13-7 at the half. Bradfordis second half defense proved to be stubborn, but the Beav-ers finally managed to plunge over for the score, after a long pass completion, and booted the popint that made the difference. Bradford 27 Erie Tech 6 Coming home to avenge their defeat in DuBois, Bradford let the Centours from Erie score first, but this slim lead didn't last long, for the Owls, offering a fine defense against Polagyi, Erie's triple-threat, erased all threats and punched over four touchdowns to ice the game. The second half proved too much for Tech, who lost all vitality under the Owl's steady drive. 136
