Football Resume We had a season of hard luck and bad breaks. In the first two weeks of the season we lost three first string men. Later we lost two more. We were very short on man power but not on our ability to play football. We opened the season by traveling to Springfield to defeat them by a score of 14 to 0. This victory was very costly to us because Frank Rotz and Bill Martin suffered injuries that kept them out of action for six weeks, The following week Pat Morocco was injured and he was out of the line-up for six weeks also. Next we played Bessemer and went down to defeat at the hands of the powerful team by the score of 19 to 0. Then another rival came down to defeat us. Goshen who had not bea.ten us in football for a good many years proved too powerful for our injury-ridden team. The final score was Goshen 34 and Lowell- ville 7. Canfield came into town the following week boasting an undefeated and unscored upon record. Canfield found the going tough but had too much man-power and defeated us 40 to 7. However, we were the first to cross their goal line by scoring on a pass play. For our next game we traveled to Jackson-Milton Where we fought to a 6-6 tie. It was a hard-fought ball game with our defense standing out among the high-lights of the game. The following Friday night we went to McDonald for a game under the lights. McDonald boasted a well-balanced ball club on both offense and defense. They proved too powerful and we were defeated by a score of 33 to 0. Here we lost another first stringer, Jim Andervich, who suffered a back injury and was out for the season. Columbiana came into 'town next and defeated a stubborn Lowell- ville defense to win 21 to 0. Again we felt the shortage of man-power. Closing our season we journeyed to North Lima. Our line-up was bolstered by the return of three of our first team men who were out with injuries. We easily defeated North Lima 33 to 7, with everyone on the squad seeing action. And so we ended our season with a 2-5-1 record. It is not a record we can brag about but if you will look into records, they will show that this is one of the smallest and most injury-ridden teams Lowellville ever produced. We congratulate Coach Burns and his assistant Mr. Haines who both turned out a tremendous job with the material they had to work with.
