When Carl Kuhn came to Osbourn, he knew the job of varsity football coach was not an easy one. He was not dissapointed. Suffering from a general lack of interest in football (Osbourn had the lowest turnout in proportion to student body in the district) the Yellow struggled to a 1-9 season. No one who was there (was anybody there?) will ever forget the 12-10 victory over Garfield. The high point of the victory came in the last quarter with the score 10-6 in favor of the Garfield Indians. A determined OHS defense had stopped the Indians on Garfield’s ten yardline: an attempted punt was blocked over the goal line by fleet-footed Evan Lewis. The ball was recovered by OHS for the winning touchdown. The final game of the season also proved a thriller. Our across the tracks rivals. Stonewall Jackson, once again provided OHS fans with a thrilling match. Although the game went to the Raiders 12-6, the final outcome was uncertain as Osbourn made a final minute drive towards daylight. A heart-breaking interception prematurely halted the Jackets run for glory. What about next year? Coach Kuhn during an interview pointed out in the 1972 scorebook how Osbourn consistently held its opponents scoreless during the first half. However, during the second half the roof fell in. Why? Mr. Kuhn pointed out that all of the schools that we play have an organized weight-lifting program,-OHS had none. The Yellow Jackets knocked out during the second half. With the arrival of the Universal Weight Machine, prospects are better for the fall of 73. 16
