THE 1948 FOOTBALL SEASON Olmsted Falls started its football season by playing an exhibition game with Chagrin Falls and defeating them with a score of 7 to O. Our eleven then met Brunswick on our own field, giving them a severe whipping with a Z0 to 6 score With this win tucked under their helmets, the Bulldogs traveled to B. W. Stadium to meet Strongsville who gave our team a rough game. During the first half they piled up a large lead. In the lastquarter our Bulldogs woke up, however, it was too late, and we were handed a 39 to Z1 defeat. After our fall, we met Westlake on Bay Village's field, where again we were defeated. Olmsted was in the lead until the last quarter, when Westlake pulled two sneak plays, gaining the upperhand, with a score of Z0 to 13. Now we began to get mad, and when we met Independence on our own field, we gave them a Z1 to 0 beating. Starting to perk up again we met Brooklyn here. This year's game as last, was a landslide. We scored from anywhere and everywhere, slipping them a final score of Olmsted Z6 and Brooklyn 6. Now Olmsted was feeling really good as they drove to North Royalton to play a night game with them. The first half seemed to see-saw, but when the game ended Olmsted had defeated Royalton 13 to 6. With three straight wins the Bulldogs met Bay Village, the county champs to be , on a fog bound field. Because of this heavy fog, the game was delayed for twenty minutes. However, nothing developed, so we went ahead with the game. This, too, was a rough see-saw game. The first half finished in a 0 to 0 tie. The field never did clear, but both teams became stronger in the second half. In the last quarter we made the first touchdown, but failed on the extra point. We held the lead for awhile, but, unfortunately, with two min- utes remaining, Bay scored, and also made that extra point, which made the score 7 to 6, which it was at the game's end. With this defeat in mind, also hamperedby injuries, our Bulldogs met their long time rival, North Olmsted , on their field, where we were handed a Z6 to 0 trouncing. This was the first time in fourteen years that North Olmsted had beaten us. This ended the 1948 season for the Bulldogs, who will lose eleven letter- men. The members of the team thank their coaches for their help, and hope they can have a winning team for them next year.
