Perry encountered in whipping together the S fi, football team of 1927. The call for football candidates was issued 53 the middle of September, and thirty-four aspiring Red Devils reported 'Q for practice with the determination to make it tough for someone to X 5 beat him out of a place on the squad. , X if Coach Sturgill's valuable assistance in developing the team was no- pl ' ticed 'from the first. ' Student Manager Rash was always on hand to administer to the needs in of the squad. How often we have heard expressions similar to these, . gq Dubby, where's the tape ? I want another pair of shoes. Dubby 2' was always on hand and his success as student manager will be an ex- , 5 il ample to others in years to come. After a scant two weeks' practice, Coaches Perry and Sturgill had 1 xl developed a real team, ready for their first game with Central City, Oc- if tober 2, 1926. 2 ,mfg During the whole season the fighting spirit that prevailed in each , member of the squad, must be accredited to the line example and spirit 'I of our coaches and student manager. A team is indeed lucky to have i, for their leaders, men of sterling character and Wonderful leadership. 7 M On October 2nd, the Red Devils made their debut against the , lf heavier and more experienced Central City Golden Tide. This was the only defeat suffered by the Golden Tide all season. The stellar playing Excl: of Captain Medley and Baker, of Central City, was the only thing that lllfgll f xlilxll , ll . .

SIMOWEHSBORAN H H . -V Sturgis 31-Owensboro O Captain Medley and I-llafendorfer played their usual good games. October 16th, the Demons defeated Madisonville in a very listless game. Owensboro drove the ball into striking distance several times only to fumble or lose the ball on downs. Captain Tom Medley featured this game with a beautiful dodging and twisting 45-yard run for O. H. Sfs second touchdown. Miller also made several runs. Next we met the Hoptown Hoppers at Hopkinsville in a game en- livened by a galaxy of long runs. Hoptown scored first on a 65-yard re- turned punt, and then a 70-yard run on an intercepted pass. Tom Medley then scooped up a fumbled punt and raced 55 yards to the goal. All in all, O. H. S. outplayed the Hoppers, gaining several more first downs. Then came a game that was a game. If there was any game the Red Devils wanted to win other than the Henderson game, it was this one against former Coach Ray Ross's Cardinals. Coach Ross . brought down a highly touted eleven, which had defeat- ed Henderson 36 to 6 the week before. Coach Perry started a greatly changed line-up, but it proved to be one ,t ff? , if 2 ,W 1 su. x , b 2 9 ig ,Mr 'X a Z Y 3 I gi 'N 3' ll 3 1 P ll E. E3 ROWN . cruise LEADER I I A.WOODWARD F2 HAWES W.
