Side 46-0 to clinch their second consecutive Fort Wayne football title. Peru Athletic Field, Nov. 7.-Chill winter flung its initial challenge at North Side's title-bound Redskins as the hard-hitting Crimson eleven bueked the teeth of a rain-swept gale to nose out a narrow 2-O triumph over a stubborn Peru Tiger contingent for the Reds' seventeenth successive victory and eighth of the present campaign. Red- skin reserve gridders had added new laurels to the North Side pigskin escutcheon last Friday evening when they hammered out a 25-13 vic- tory over Decatur's varsity eleven under the same playing conditions. Delavan Smith Athletic Field, Nov. ll.-North Side's house of cards fell here this afternoon. From the rosy dreams of the 1938 state grid title came a rude awakening as a red hot Cathedral of Indianapolis eleven struck thrice through the medium of passes to blast into oblivion, 18-6, a fighting band of North Side Redskins and end their hopes of recognition for the coveted crown. December 11 -Thurman Hill, North Side var- sity tackle, was honored with the announcement that he had received a position on Dick Millers annual All-State Football eleven. Gordon Turner, veteran guard, was placed on the second team. December 18.-North Side's entire football sguad and numerous guests celebrated one of the best gridiron seasons in Redskin gridiron history tonight as they convened in the North Side school cafeteria for the annual lettermen banquet.

ODDS BODKINS, WE LOST CNE! North Side Athletic Field, Sept. 17.-A grim and purposeful band of North Side gridders sounded an impressive challenge to Indiana prep school football clubs as they hammered and slashed their way to an imposing 19-6 triumph over a strong squad of invading Apaches from downstate Wabash. Defending a winning streak of a nine-game duration, the Redskins struck early and then came through in the third and fourth frames, after a 6-6 half-time tie, to punch over two touchdowns and win going away. Mishawaka Athletic Field, Sept. 24.-North Side's Crimson gridiron avalanche, asleep for two quarters, snapped awake in the second half, ham- mered aside weakened Maroon opposition, and swept on to its eleventh consecutive pigskin tri- umph, 24-6. North Side Athletic Field, Oct. 1.-North Side struck a telling blow in defense of its Fort Wayne City Football Title as the Crimson eleven swept over Central Catholic of Fort Wayne, 51-0. To- night's victory was the twelfth in a row for the Nulfmen. North Side Athletic Field, Oct. 9.-A bright sun streamed down hot on North Sidels grid- iron but the Redskins blew just a bit hotter in 14 By PHILLIP OLOFSON the opening half and beat back a tough outfit of blue jerseyed Central Tigers, 13-6. With the temperature at a high peak, the Crimson eleven couldn't get moving in customary style but a pair of early touchdown withstood a late Central drive and gave the Red eleven its second straight city series victory and thirteenth consecutive win. Garrett Athletic Field, Oct. 15.-North Side's long winning streak was held over for another week as the Redskin string, from the first to the fifth, participated in the Northerners' march to a 46-0 triumph over Garrett. North Side Athletic Field, Oct. 21.-Sparked by the general all-around play of Captain Frank Werling, who ran, passed and punted to near perfection, North Side's hard-hitting Crimson Tide moved a long step toward the 1938 Indiana State Football Title as the Nulfmen smashed to a bruising 13-0 conquest of Bosse's big Bulldogs. The victory was the North Sider's fifteenth in a row and sixth and most important of the present campaign, as the Evansville aggregation was ranked highly in Hoosier scholastic grid circles. North Side Athletic Field, Oct. 28.-North Side's band of marauding gridders mauled South Bob Nulf gives his tackles some information in the lock- er room between halves. Thur- man Hill, Glenn Bordner, Fred Huber plugged in there all year. Nobody smashed center over Kenny Young, Gordon Turner, and Carl Scheiben- berger. Three ends and a good utility back ready for any- thing were John Beams, Quentin Rodemeyer, Eugene Royer, and Dick Russell. Speed, drive, and good head work made North Sidels backs superior to any team. Four of the best were Everett Huth, Gaylord Turner, Bob Cowan, and Frank Werliimg.
