Although losing two games, the season was fairly successful. The high point of the season came when the Riders defeated Hobart, one of the top ranked teams in the state, by a score of 13-0. The Riders ran up a total of 271 points to their opponents’ 82. Hammond High and Washington, Roosevelt’s top two rivals, were the only teams that defeated the Riders ROOSEVELT VS. HAMMOND TECH 60-0 A semi-experienced Rough Rider team, seeking another West ern Division title, Blasted the Hammond Tech Tigers, 60-0. The Riders showed a burst of scoring with five touchdowns in the first eight and a half minutes. Fleet-end Sandy Ligon returned the opening kickoff for a ninety-yard touchdown behind a crushing array of blocking. Tailback Ray Saczawa and Fullback Chuck Gorney contributed two touchdowns apiece. Runs by Saczawa (18, 19 yards) and Gorney (2 yards) plus pass interception touchdowns by Gorney, Ben Cole, and Brad Piniak, made it 46-0 at intermission. Reserve play dominated the second half.

Saczawa added another touchdown in the third period, and reserve fullback Bob Sojka romped over the line in the fourth period. It was Roosevelt’s sixteenth consecutive win over the Pioneers and put the Riders atop the Western Divi sion standings with a 2-0 record. ROOSEVELT VS.

Blocking by the center of the line, Brown, Pieters, and Gergely, opened the way for Gorney to score three plays later. An attempted field goal by Tom Dubis was blown wide by the wind. The loss was accredited mostly to the Wildcats’ passing attack, which completed 12 out of 27 passes for 136 yards. The Riders tried to rally with 84 a passing attack of their own, but were generally ineffective and had to settle for 10 yards net on the ground. This literally knocked the Rough Riders out of the lead for the Western Division ti race ROOSEVELT VS.
