SCHEDULE O.A.C .S.- 14 Lyndonville 18 Alexander 19 Elba 33 Holley 32 Corfu 32 Pavilion 25 Alden In November the end of the fall gridiron season found the Oakfield-Alabama Central School football team in a deadlock for first place in the Genesee-Orleans Six-Man Football League with six victories and one defeat. This climaxed the most successful season for the Blue-and- Gold gridders in our six-man football history. Playing under our new coach, Mahlon M. Hamilton, the Oaks rolled up 173 points against 78 for their opponents. Leading the offense this year were Pete Corhelli, fleet-footed halfbackg Lou Ianni, hard driving fullback, Myron Zigrossi, signal callerg and Dale Choate, splen- did utility back. Outstanding players on the forward line were Captain Charles Caton at center, Roger McGee, Stanley Ren, and Teddy Czuba at ends. All other s uad members contributed to- ward this successful season by fheir excellent play in many games and their hard work in practice. Fine team spirit and sportsmanship displayed by 0.A.C.S. players contributed much toward a winning season. The Blue-and-Gold lone defeat re istered in a ni ht game at Oakfield by Elba Central, 30-19, who later suffered their sole loss to Corfu in a thrilling last game of the season. Oakfield de- feated Corfu for the first time since entering the Six-Man League, 32-6, in the most exciting game of the season. PUUTB LL 10
