Homers cyclonic football team stormed its way through the season with Mel Root as the new head. Catlin had a bigger storm ready for Homer, though, as they beat them, 25-6. One night in October, all Ozland rejoiced as Homer won over ABL, 6-0, for the first time in several years. Homer zipped through two more losses, and the festivities of Homecoming were dampened when Mansfield calmed the Homer eye lone down, 19-0. Every inhabitant of the Land of Oz was proud when Homer came very near to beating an excellent, unbeaten Jamaica team which finally downed Homer, 14-6. The last win of the season came over St. Joe, 14-7, and the last loss was handed to the team by Newman. This last game showed how the cyclone started from a quiet, little raincloud and grew to a fairly good thunderstorm, and hopes are high for next year's season. James Wienke and Bob Jones made the deepest impression on other coaches of the East Central Conference and were named to the All-Star squad. Bruce Lube, Jerry Morgan, and Richard Allen raised little storms of their own and obtained honorable mention. Thus ended a season of two wins and six losses.
