THE GRIDIRUN STGRY The Wildcats concluded their very suc- cessful season by defeating a highly re- garded Anderson team 60-6. Both offense and defense in this game were superb, as the score easily indicated. Harrison's football team of 1949 will long be remembered as one of the greatest in XVildcat annals. The XVildcats rolled up eight wins against a single loss and scored 326 points, while limiting their opponents to 46. Greenham, Myers, Dole, Harper, and Pottenger received places on Hamilton County various All-Star teams. A young and aggressive team, many of whom performed superbly during the sea- son will be back next year. For their outstanding performance, Har- rison received a fine trophy, being declared runners-up in Hamilton County. Next year's team will be without the service of Bradford Estes, Carl Greenham, Paul Rechenbach, Keith Myers, Ray Kater, Clifford Downard, Don Printy, and Les Flick, who should all be commended for their excellent playing during the past season.

THE GRIDIRON STORY Next Terrace Park journeyed to Harri- son and were beaten by the Wildcats, 25-7. Taylor's Yellow jackets were next on our schedule. After a first half in which Taylor capitalized on a few breaks, Harri- son played fine ball but could not overcome the Yellow jackets' I4-0 halftime lead. Thus they lost 14-6. Undefeated Madiera was Harrison's next opponent. A hotly contested game ended with the Xvildcats on top, 12-6. Page Sevnxrv Thirty-three boys answered coaches Longley and Swisher's call for pre-season practice. They drilled and worked hard be- fore encountering Loveland on September 16. The Wildcats easily humiliated Love- land by subduing them 65-7. Hard block- ing and a fast charging defense combined forces to roll up the highest score ever made by a Harrison football team. Playing their next game at Sharonville, the Wildcglts easily won 53-0. It was homecoming night at Harrison, October 21, and the Wildcgits easily de- feated Syeamore 32-6. Harrison made it six wins out of seven tries by an easy victory over a reportedly strong Mt. Healthy team, 34-0.
