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.

Nalle, at left end, played a brilliant game, never allowing the Mayfield safety men to get started after catching a punt. John Medley and Joe Hale played great games in the line. George Medley and Settle performed well in the backfield. Tommie Medley scored O. H. S.'s two touchdowns, one on a beautiful 45- yard run, and Schaad added one goal to make a score 13 to 0. This game was played in a sea of mud, but the Medley trio, shod in mud cleats, managed to gallop over the Cardinals. The game was consid- erably slowed up by numerous time-outs to permit the referee to wipe off the ball. Then came the climax of the season. The Red Devils were complete- ly outclassed by the Morganfield Guerillas in the worst defeat an Owensboro team has ever suffered. Morganfield's superior teamwork and endurance overwhelmed O. H. S., but every man fought with all he had in him. We can find some consolation in the fact that Morganfield is the state champion. Buster Hudson and Settle starred for Owensboro.
