Around these three lads he built up a strong team by filling in the vacancies with boys who never before played the game. From the time of the opening game at Norwood, which resulted 1 in a 0 to 0 tie, the group developed with more than ordinary speed, and as the season went on the Blue and Gold continued to show im- provement, so that it now can be classed with the fine St. Mary's teams of the past two years. The opening contest with Norwood was played in a sea of mud. The play was a slow and uncertain one in which punting and fumbling predominated. It was just :i case of slippery, sluggish attempts to put the ball over,'but neither team succeeded. Rielage, King, Williams and Dreyer starred for the Blue and Gold. The team then traveled to Ft. Thomas, where it met the powerful eleven of Highland High School. This game was played on a sodden gridiron. Neither team could make headway on the heavy field, and both failed to score. Line smashing was resorted to by both teams, but with little success, although thrills were plentiful, as each team brought the ball within scoring distance a number of times. Dreyer, Queenan, lwullen, Walsh and Gardner were the outstanding stars of this game. The third game was played with liflilford. The opposition here was strong, but llfilford was unable to stop the dashing Blue and Gold backs, who scored twenty-two points. White and Rielage looked best in the backfield, while the work of Williams, VValsh and Mullen stoodvout on the line. Ohio Military Institute was the next opponent. In this game Coach Redding- ton used many of his second eleven, who performed creditably and proved that they could be depended upon when needed. A score of twenty-five points was run up on the visitors. Hickey, Egan, Scanlon, Ratterman and White starred. The Walnut Hills game brought another thrill. P The Blue and Gold eleven got the ball over for a touchdown in the first period, and seemed to have the game safely 1 Z x, 2 X6 B1' i Page One Hundred Ten
