WQXVENSBURAN 1 f Mayfield 0-Owensboro 13 times to down the Guerilla backs in their tracks. Fred Settle generaled his team in a fine manner and also played a beautiful defensive game, getting the runner practically every time the play came his way. John Medley and Hafendorfer were knocked out by the driving Guerilla line. John and Hof,however, smeared many plays before they could get started. In the last game before the Turkey Day battle, the team went down fighting hard at the hands of the New Albany Bulldogs, 12 to 0. The Red Devils showed their customary fight, but were completely bewildered by New Albany's dazzling aerial attack. The team was handicapped by the loss of Hafendorfer, who was injured in the Morganfield game, but Burns proved to be a valuable substitute. He played a bang-up game at tackle. Hudson played his customary nice game, breaking through several times to spill the New Albany runners behind the line. Now, here we are. The day of days. The time of times. The game of games. Thanksgiving Day dawned cold and drizzly, but by noon the sun had burst forth to ' make an ideal football day. At 2:30 o'clock, ap- proximately 2,500 people had gathered at stadium field to witness Western Kentucky's football classic. Owensboro entered the game, slightly favorites f LDANIELS Q REHALF H CALHUUN GMEDLEY CSANDIDGE' CENTER R.HALF CENTER 1 7 mtg A ' Page Fifty-eight

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.

Coming on the field with blood in f ,bil their eyes, the Demons never gave up, although Henderson had gained a M 11' Wi decided advantage through two flukes. WYE aff Captain T. Medley and Adam Schaad were the outstanding individ- uals. Tommie couldn't be stopped by the Henderson line. He rarely Q21 failed to get to the Hens secondary defense.
