For the first time in four years the team was a serious contender for the title. The league competition was marred by one defeat and one tie, giving it the runner-up position. In the non-league contests the Lions didn't fare so well losing two and winning but one. For the entire season the team outscored their opponents 123 points to 58 points. REDEEMER 46 , . . , ........,..,............,..,......,...,.,.,.. CATHOLIC CENTRAL 0 The season began on September 30 with an impressive victory over Catholic Central. In this game the Lions exhibited more aggressiveness and scoring ability than they had shown in many years. This was a glorious triumph, ending the scoreless ties that had existed in the gridiron engagement between the two schools for the past three years. At no time during the contest was Central able to stop the powerful Redeemer attack. During the second half, the substitutes not only held the opponents but increased the margin of victory. REDEEMER 0 .......................,.......,....,....,.,..,.,.... SOUTHWESTERN 21 The first setback was received at the hands of Southwestern, the neighborhood rival. How- ever, the defeat was not as complete as the score would suggest. With regard to first downs and yards earned from scrimmage, the Lions outgained the enemy. Fumbles and intercepted passes proved costly and were responsible for the three touchdowns. Whenever the Redeemer team neared the goal line it lacked the scoring punch displayed in the first game. REDEEMER 32 ....,,.,,..,................,....,........,..,..... ....,. S T. MARY 0 The Orchard Lake eleven fell before the Lions in the third game of the season. This victory avenged a defeat inflicted by St. Mary in 1931. In this contest aerial attack was very successful.

1933 -1' HE CAM PANILE -19:55 REVIEW OF THE SEASON REDEEMER 32 .......,..,.........,........,,....,,.......,........, ST. ANTHONY O St. Anthony was the next victim of the Lions. During the game the Purple and Gold war- riors advanced the ball at will and crossed the goal line five times. In the second half substi- tutes checked the East-Siders, attack, and had enough power to score. REDEEMER 6 ...4,....,..,..,.........,..........,.......,.........,. DE LA SALLE 6 The game with the 1931 champions was one of the most interesting contests of the schedule. In the second quarter, after a sustained drive, a pass from Maher to Duva resulted in Redeemer's only touchdown. This lead was maintained throughtout the third quarter. But the Pilots came back in the last frame with an attack that the Lions were unable to stop. With two minutes remaining, La Salle advanced the ball from midfield and crossed the goal line on a short plunge, tying the score. The Redeemer ends blocked the attempt for the extra point as the game ended. Lessnau's courage and determination were displayed throughout the struggle. REDEEMER 7 ......,.,.........,,. .........,....,.. i...... ........,., S T . JOSEPH 13 In the most thrilling game of the year the Lions went down to a 13-7 defeat before the St. Joseph eleven. The Blue team scored twice in the first half. However, the Lions came back during remainder of the game. La Cross and Maher made long gains and advanced the ball to the two yard line, where Crnkovitch plunged over. In the fading moments of the game Redeemer backs caused much excitement by advancing the ball to the five yard line. But the opponents' defense withstood the battery and checked the advance of the Lions. This game gave the city title to the St. Joseph eleven. REDEEMER 0 .....,...,.,.....,...,....................,..,. OUR LADY OF LOURDES 18 On Thanksgiving Day the Lions met a setback at the hands of the River Rouge team. Play was hampered by extremely cold weather and ice which covered the entire field. Redeemer received the kickoff and marched eighty yards down the field, only to fumble when less than ten yards from the goal. Several misplays and a blocked punt proved costly to the Redeemer cause.
