Football The Harrison High School Team started off with 58 members on the squad. Under the supervision of I. R. Swisher, a team began to take shape. The Hrst game was at home. We played Glendale. With the effective blocking of their team mates, Fred Dole and Carl Duwel made some 60 and 70 yd. runs. Dole made 3 touchdowns. One was set up by Duwel on a seventy yd. run, and another was passed to Dole by Frey. The game ended 19-12. Aurora was the next squad. Our boys met at the Harrison Field. The Wildcats marched through Aurora for another victory. Touchdowns were made by Duwel, Bybee, and Frey. On the offense, the bacl-:field stood out, but on the defense Aurora ran into a brick wall when Ronnie Meyers, Richard Fruit, and Paul Duck- worth held the line. The last quarter was played by the five reserves. In the third game of the season, Harrison met the strong Greenhills team. You have to give the boys credit for trying but it seems that they met their better opponents when Greenhills defeated them 21-6. The fourth game was played at Mt. Healthy. Both teams played a very hard game, on a muddy Held. At the half there was no score. The second half started with Harrison receiving. On a reverse play Duwel ran the entire length of the field only to be knocked out of bounds a few yards from paydirt. Two plays later, Frey carried the ball over for the Hrst touchdown. Mt. Healthy later made two touch- downs. Duckworth intercepted a Mt. Healthy pass and ran for a touchdown. The score was tied, I3 to 13. With less than I0 seconds to play Dole ran some 60 yards for a final touchdown with excellent blocking from the rest of the team. With mud up to their knees the boys fought hard and tied Colerain 6-6. Harrison's touchdown was made when a long, beautiful pass was thrown by Bybee to Ronnie Meyers. Colerain got as far as the one foot line several times. They found them- selves unable to go any farther due to the tackling of Fruit, Meyers and Duckworth. Forty to nothing was the score of the next game-Taylor 40, Harrison, o. The squad tried their best against Taylor, but were unable to succeed in scoring against Tayl0r's team work. The last game of the season was played with Sharonville. The Wildcats defeated Sharonville I8-14. The First touchdown was made by Frey. Receiving a short pass from Dole, he ran 40 yeards to cross the goal line. Sharonville scored and went ahead 8-6. Dole scored on a IO yard run making it I2-8.
