Sfarting Eleven . . . To begin our 1950 season Gene 0lson's Raiders traveled to Waseca where they were defeated by the score of 18-6. Next the team made the trip to Hayfield where they played a much better game than they did at Waseca with the game ending in a 0-0 deadlock. Alden was next on the schedule for the first conference game of the season. The Raiders showed fine teamwork to defeat the Blackhawks, 12-6. Homecoming! This was the big event of the year. There had been much excite- ment all day, which was climaxed with Ellendale defeating Janesville. The Raiders scored early in the game on a nice punt return by Lunning. The rest of the game was a defensive battle with most of the playing being done mid-field, with the final score 6-0. The game was marred by frequent showers for the first three quarters. The entire last quarter was played in a steady dofwnpour. After being handed their only conference setback of the season by a highly spirited New Richland team, 6-0, the Raiders played host to Freeborn. In the first half the Raiders were down by 7-0, but in the second half they came back strong to score three quick touchdowns and won 20-7. Ellendale won its last home game of the season by defeating a strong Emmons team, 12-6. In the final game of the season the Raiders defeated Blooming Prairie. This was a hard played game, with neither team scoring until the last play of the game when Dale Cromwell carried the ball o'ver for Ellendale. Ross Anderson made good the try for the extra point, making it 7-0. Thus ended a successful season for Coach Olson and his team as they were tied with Janesville for the championship.
