Football The 1946 football season was a successful one. Although light and inexperienced, the steadily improving band of Indians went through their schedule with a record of three wins, three loses, and one tie for a .500 percentage. Two wins, two losses and one tie in league play, gave the fighting Redskins third place in the Vermilion Valley Conference. A tall Forrest end named Follmer and his passpitching brother spelled defeat for the green Onarga boys in their first conference test. With only a handful of veterans in the lineup, the light Onarga eleven fought Forrest to a standstill on the ground. Long passes brought Forrest three tallies while Dannehl scored Onarga’s only touchdown. Final Score: Forrest-18, Onarga-6. The edge was taken from Onarga’s conference win over Saunemin as regular end Ronald Decker suffered a broken leg. Saunemin scored first, but the Indians came back to tie it up just before the half, Dannehl scoring. Dan-nehl’s kick for the extra point was wide. Onarga went into the lead early in the third quarter, Dannehl counting again. Roy Ficklin plunged the extra point, and the Indians were on the march again, when Decker was injured. Late in the same period, Saunemin scored on the disorganized Indians, but a plucky Onarga line stopped the try for the extra point. Saunemin spent the rest of the game in a desperate attempt to score, but the battered Redskins staved off the Saunemin attack. Final Score: Onarga-13, Saune-min-12. The crippled Indians went to Chatsworth to play a veteran Chatsworth team, which went through its schedule undefeated and untied to win the Vermilion Valley Conference Championship. Although outweighed more than twenty pounds per man, Onarga’s Indians gave Chatsworth their worst scare of the season. Onarga dominated play early in the game, and later drove from their own twenty to the Chatsworh ten, where the Bluebird line braced. With less than a minute to play, a long Chatsworth pass put the ball on the Onarga four yard line, from where the Chatsworth quarterback scored. He also ran the extra point. Final score: Chatsworth-7, Onarga-O. The big Paxton team was surprised by Onarga’s vicious attack during the first half. However, the Indians could not score and in the second half weight told, as the heavier Raiders pushed across two touchdowns. A blocked Indian punt was recoverd in the end zone by Jean, for a safety. Final score: Paxton-14, Onarga-O.
