FOOTBALL SQUAD Front Row, L. to R.-R. Shattuck, T. Bryant, L. Kies, D. Quinn, J. Drake, H. Monell, Cv. Shrauger, J. Barnes, S. Butlien, H. Getzke, R. Cornish. Second Rou'7J. Hartman, L. Lawrence, J. Elam, C. Wolfe, F. Kwiatkowski, Coach Deeb, C. Blackman, S. Jerome, R. Bennett, Z. Calvasina, W. Walker. In the autumn of 1947 the football season opened once again, as in the past 15 years, under the leadership of Coach ':Phil,' Hubbard. After only two weeks of practice, Coach Hubbard resigned and was replaced by Coach c'Sam,, Deeb, who coached the team only one week before we played Towanda, whom we hadn,t beaten for three years. Traveling to Towanda, we opened the season with our first victory 26 to 19. The following week, Owego was downed by Cortland 19 to 7, whom we have played only three times. Then our traditional rival Vlaverly, came to Marvin Park to go down to defeat 13 to U for their eighth time in the past eleven years. On the following Saturday, as we beat Vestal once again 21 to 7, we knew that this was one more year that the uBears,, could not tarnish our record of never having lost to them. As the 'fW'arriors journeyed to Athens the following week they were dreaming of defeating them on their own stamping grounds. This was a dream because they lost 26 to 1-1 as they had many times before at Athens. Painted Post came to Owego with everyone full of fight and deter- mination to beat us, as they did. Even though we had lost 19 to 14, it was an exciting game when the 'iIndians made a desperate drive in the last quarter, scoring two touchdowns. The team of Red and Blue then went to Elmira Heights and in the mud and rain they lost to the Edison's, 26 to 14. For the first time in the history of O. F. A., we played our basketball rival, Newark Valley, in football. This year marked the first season of football at that school. Even though they lost, it was a moral victory for them having held us to the low score of 12 to O. Although the f'lVarriors', record was not over- ly successful this year, team spirit remained high and the background of good fellowship was pres- ent. Next season many lettermen are expected to return and the prospects are high for a win- ning season. ? new
