F00'l'BALL Coach Bill Kenna was greeted by only five lettermen at the start of the season, but in spite of inexperience and a hard schedule the team won four out of eight games. In the first game at The Dalles, the inexperienced Panthers fell victim to the heavy Indians. The game ended 48 to O in favor of The Dalles. Next, Redmond played Lakeview here. Although Redmond played a hard game, Lakeview used a passing attack to win the game by a one point margin. The score was 14 to 13. In the next game, during fair time, the boys got together and trounced Maupin 20 to 0 in the Redmond Potato bowl. On October 6, the Panthers fought a losing battle against the powerful Bend Lava Bears at Bend. The final score was 38 to 0.

On October 27,Redmond easily defeated the team from Burns in the Potato bowl with the final score standing at 13 to 7. The team failed to click in the second game with Lakeview due to cold weather and a poor field. Redmond was on the losing end of a 26 to 0 score in this game held at Lakeview.
