The graduation of Gordon Ryan, Dale Burleton and Billy Cook left only two lettermen, Billy Guelzow and Roliand Geisthardt from last year’s team. Most of the other boys were Sophomores and Freshmen which means that we can have hopes of improved teams in the next couple of years. Coach Vandehey and Assistant Coach Droegkamp always put a fighting team on the floor in spite of the fact that the odds were usually against them. The fellows usually played very good ball during the first half and the final period, but the third quarter, as a rule, proved to be disastrous. The highlight of the season was the 38 to 20 beating that our boys gave Lomira at Liberty Hall on January 30. With Donald Hill playing his first home game, the boys had the spark and a little more confidence, which proved to be too much for the Hilltoppers. We entered the tournament at North Fond du Lac more or less for the experience that the boys could get out of it. We were unfortunate enough to meet two of the best teams in the tournament the first two nights in Elkhart Lake and Kohler, and consequently lost to both of them. The “B” Team fared somewhat better than did the “A’s” by winning four games and losing eleven, although many of the losses were by close scores. They defeated Hustisford, Lutheran Academy, and Kewaskum. THE SEASON'S RECORD Oaks Opp. Oakfield at Hustisford................18 20 Oakfield at Rosendale.................16 33 Luth.

Football Standing—Mr. Vandehey, C. Krause, A. Cragoe, W. Rosenfeldt, J. Kenyon, Mr. Droeg-kamp. Seated—B. Guelzow, R. Geisthardt, S. Smith, C. Geisthardt, R. Doyle, D. Guelzow. Although our 1941 team didn’t make a very imposing record, it was about as good as was expected. The team was handicapped by the loss of Dale Burleton and Bob Bird through graduation and also because Alvin Briggs, Ray Oelke, Roland Stcinke, and Don Hill did not play. The boys always gave their best, but size was a serious handicap to them. In the first game of the season with North Fond du Lac, we were defeated 58-12. This was followed by games with Campellsport, Kewaskum, Brandon, and Lomira. The last game of the season with Lomira gave us our first and only victory. The final score was, Lomira 6, Oakfield 44. This year we will only lose Sam Smith and Billy Guelzow by graduation. This should leave an experienced squad for next year. The usual starting line-up for Oakfield was: Billy Guelzow - Senior..................Left End Sam Smith - Senior........................Center Calvin Geisthardt - Sophomore..........Right End Don Guelzow - Sophomore..............Quarterback Ray Doyle - Sophomore...................Halfback Rolland Geisthardt - Junior.............Fullback Clayton Krause, Arthur Cragoe. and Bill Rosenfeldt also saw considerable action.
