Eight wins brings championship to The Indians inaugurated night foot- ball by winning eight games a11d losing one. The larger crowds certainly did not complain of lack of action and saw in the Indians a team that won, but won by its dogged perseverance. Vsually slow in starting, they never quit until the final whistle found them in the winning col- nmn. Fortunately there were a number of good reserves, whom Coach Robinson used to advantage in building the team around the returning veterans. The coach substi- tuted freely in every game. Under the leadership of the honorary co-captains, Otis Hall, Norman Willbond, and Herman Hudnell were the following lettermen : Clarence Bowman, Ray Braun, llon Campbell, Dennis Donaldson, Lyle Franklin, George Goodson, I'aul Hovey, .Iohn Johnson, John Marshall, Valentin Nasipak, Robert Ohly, Jack Robinson, Warren Shaw, Robert Van Ausdale, and Ted Wigton, manager. ELYRIA 35, OBERLIN 0 The Indians lost the opener to a vet- eran Elyria team that had been develop- ing for three years. Although Oberlin reached scoring territory several times, they could not overcome the weight and experience advantage of the Red Raiders. In spite of the loss, much good experience was gained by the many substitutes. Onnnmx 26, GAnF1ELn HEIGHTS 0 This game was the tirst played under the new lights of Morris Field, and the two thousand fans were more than satis- fied with the team's showing. After a slow first quarter, the Indians let go a barrage ot laterals and forward passes that carried them over the goal line four times. Nag: tm OBERLIN 13, BEREA 12 After allowing Berea to tally the first touchdown, the Ieillll got down to business and scored a few minutes later, WVillbond scoring the decisive extra point. Berea again scored, but in the final minutes, Willbond tossed one to Hudnell, which he carried over for tl1e winning score. This game was not in the bag for either tealn until the final gun. OBERLIN 20, FAIRVIEW 13 The home-town supporters were again satisfied at seeing the Redskins take the third in a row. The boys being 0Vel'-CO1l- fident, they did not defeat Fairview by the expected margin, but their stubborn- ness not to give in brought them out on top. ORERLIN 40, XXVILLARD 0 ln the easiest game of the season against a weakened Willard team, Ober- linis scoring machine hit top stride. The entire squad played, and at no time did VVillard threaten to score. The victory was celebrated by a steak dinner at Nor- walk. OBERLIN 26, RocKY RIVER 0 In this, the only daylight game of the season, the Indians cinched the league championship. With Jackie Robinson carrying off individual scoring honors, this game was won by sustained power, the Indians not being forced to take to the air. OISERLIN 31, NORWALK 6 By resorting to the air, the boys showed their dads how they had won live i11 a row. 'tWillbond to Hudnell,' ac- counted for three of the scores, with Ohly and Campbell tallying the other two. The single Norwalk touchdown was the .result of a Sleeper that caught the Indians back on their heels.

team shares championship Led by four senior lettermen, Hudncll, lViIlbond, Bowman, and Hovey, the bas- ketball team again shared top ho-nors with Berea. OHERLIN 31, XVELLINGTON 19 In the opening game of the season, Oberlin completely out-passed the WVel- lington five. Hudnell led the scoring with te11 points, and both Robinson and Zinnnerman in their first varsity skirmish scored six points apiece. UHERLIN 25, 4KMl'IERST 22 Revenging a one point defeat of last season, the Indians came from behind in the second half to va11quisl1 Amherst. .HOYVIIIZIII was hig'h poi11t man rolling up eight points. Hndnell came second drop- ping three goals and one free throw. OHERIAIN 19, NoRwALK 26 Leaving the ll0l1l6 courts for the tirst time the tribe met defeat at the hands of a strong Norwalk quintet. Six points were scored by Hovey with tive by iVill- bond and four by Hudnell. O. H. S. 47, JXLITlNINI 40 Ill the traditional Varsity-Alumni game the Varsity defeated their older and more experienced opponents by a score of 47 to 40. OBERLTN 28, RocKY RIVER 18 The first league encounter found the Redskins on the home grounds scalping a rather weak Rocky River tive. Norm NVillhond led the scoring with six points and Hudnell was a close second with live. Onnnmx 19, BEI,I.EvnE 44 Defeat was met at the hands of a fast and powerful quintet at Bellevue. Ober- lin's scoring was led by Hudnell and Hovey with five and four points respect- ively. Bag: nuslur OBERLIN 41, l'.xEMA 22 Back in stride again the warriors am- bushed the startled Parma invaders and sent them home on the low end of a 41 to 22 score. The Oberlinites displayed amazing power while Hlltlllell sank nine tield goals and three free throws. fll1ERLIN 121, BEREA xvitll almost as 1llllCll spirit as is dis- played by the Berea fa11s at football games, the boys from the airport were cheered to a one basket victory over the hard fighting Oberlin team. Honors again went to XYillbond, Bowman, and Hudnell with ten, eight, and tive points. OliERIlIN 21, Loot 23 Due to a last minute parting of the nets for Lodi the Reds lost a hard fought battle to a scrappy Lodi tive. Hudnell led the scoring for Oberlin with six points followed closely by Donaldson, a newcom- er, with tive points. f2BERLIN 36, AVON LAKE 20 Snapping a two- game losing streak, the team came through with a 16 point lead over the boys on the shore. Leading this whirlwind attack was Norm 1Villbond totaling fourteen points and Hud11ell swishing ,ein for ten points. OREELIN 29, ROCKY RIVER 26 Again the basketeers defeated the Rivermen. This time it was on their iioor as the Red fllltl Blue hovered on the top side of a 29 to 26 score. OBERLIN 29, ELYRIA 40 The speedy Elyria f1ve was the last of tl1e scheduled teams to put the HB on Robinsonis lads. The score was 17 to 17 at the half but a bit of spectacular play- ing on the part of the neighbors put them out in front. Scoring for O. H. was led again by Hudnell who tallied nine points.
