Idowever. though the Archers won more games than they had the previous season. two of their losses were in city-series contests.

In an attempt to cover up this defect, the Archers frequently resorted to an aerial attack. In their games against North Side and Central. the Arch- ers found this offensive weapon bottled upg and, as a result. could not gather the necessary scoring punch. Coach Lundy Welborn built his team around a few experienced veterans. Most valuable of these were the three linemen: Ellenwood at end. Nye at tackle. and Ostermeyer at center. In addition, Bud Lee at full- back turned in a good kicking job throughout the season. During their entire season, the Archers defeated Van Wert. Peru. Central Catholic. Columbia City, and 98 ': ':m' the ball to the three-yard line. However, four at- tempts carried the ball to the one-foot stripeg and South Side took possession of the ball on downs. On the following Saturday, Van Wert came to Fort Wayne to meet the Archers. The Green, however, proved themselves poor hosts by pushing over four touchdowns and making good on two extra-point at- tempts to win 26 to 0. They scored twice in the third period and twice in the final quarter. The Archers gained a complete variety of results for their first three games, a win, a loss, and a tieg then they bowed before the strong Mishawaka eleven, 18 to 0. The Maroon staged a second-quarter drive that netted them three touchdowns and the margin of victory. 1532257

Their aerial attack work- ing almost to perfection, the Green completed eleven out of twelve attempts. South Side scored in the first quarter on a pass from Lee to Ellenwood. Lee place- kicked the extra point. In the second period, Peru scored on a long pass. After four passes had placed the ball in scoring position, Ellenwood scored again, this time on an end-around play. After a week's rest, South Side opened their city series competition with a Z5-to-7 victory over Central stituted his reserves, the Eagles then pushed over their lone marker. Central's Tigers swamped the Green 27 to 7, to gain an edge of one game in their thirteen-year rivalry. The Tigers scored midway in the first quarter, but South Side rallied to tie up the score in the second period. This touchdown marked the first time the Tigers had been scored upon all year. However, the Bengals redeemed themselves by scoring three more touchdowns, one in each quarter, to win by a wide margin.
